Upgrading? Need advice? Let us know!

lilhavoc

I want to ask you, our esteemed customers, what information Sophos could provide to make upgrading easier. This applies to upgrades from any version, but I'd love to be able to address people's concerns about the upgrade from Enterprise Console version 3 to version 4 especially.

We've got a great couple of upgrade guides, but what else can we do? What would you like to know more about?

Want to tell us how to do our jobs?? :smileyvery-happy: We'd love to hear to your suggestions, so let's talk!!

Thanks,

Lil

    Hi John,

    Is 1.5GB's sufficient? I'm currently showing 586MB's free according to taskman at the moment. CPU maxed out right now by SophosUpdateMgr.exe. OK, I admit that the CPU isn't up to your spec but it's easily adequate and runs MD5's on the warehouse folder in a fraction of the time that SUM seems to take. I did say that it thrashes the disk for about 60 seconds (I say that's ~ ok for a quick checksum of 450MB's) and then maxes out CPU only for the remaining time. So you maybe right, it's cached but it's still very busy even when no update is required.

    I am indeed seeing this every update check and on this system at the moment, there are just the two subscriptions as detailed with 4 packages in one and 1 in another - nothing particular complex. When I set up the full subscription, the server was not usable at all, maxed by SophosUpdateMgr.exe 24/7.

    Perhaps I'm significntly more affected by this bug?
