Approximately 3 hours, it depends of the system , mine is rx6600 , and actually the user guide for 11iv3 says that it could takes approx 2 - 3 hours.

Good luck

Shalom,

The rx2600 is a little slow and might take longer than average.

I recently moved an rx2600 to 11i Version 2. A large number of firmware upgrades were required before the OS install worked.

From the http://itrc.hp.com website click the firmware database and make sure the rx2600 system firmware is up to date prior to doing the install.

Hi,

the install itself would take about 2 hours I guess - the bottleneck is the DVD drive.

But take care about the firmware requirements - the fw update could take much longer.

Ask SEP :-)

Yes Torsten helped us with our firmware upgrade.

Took twice as long as the server OS install. Figuring out the process took weeks. Though not full time.
