Happy New Year all,

Has anyone else attempted an upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1.3?  How long did it 
take?  I'm pushing 90 minutes again (had to kill it yesterday and 
reload/restore back to 4.0.4)...  Seems excessively long to me.  Since Cisco's 
upgrade screen output only tells me what just finished (sorta), I have no idea 
what it's working on.

If I ps ux in another ssh session, I see the upgrade command as well as an sql 
data import command (some sql 4.0.4 -> 4.1.3 file I assume it created earlier 
in the upgrade process.  Both STAT S (Interruptible sleep, waiting for another 
process to finish).

All I see on my screen is that the agent was successfully upgraded.

I've read the warning in the docs about the Agent Reports in the database being 
"quite large"; But with Cisco talking about 30,000 records in the database 
being the limit, I assumed my measly 107 didn't qualify as "quite large".  
After it bombed yesterday, I assumed this was the issue (that Cisco's 
definition of "quite large" meant greater than 1), and used their suggested 
workaround of deleting the reports...  I also assumed that it would now take 
it's "upgrade window of 15 minutes per server".

Since I now lost my morning window to upgrade its HA pair, I'm just going to 
halt the primary, and start up the un-upgraded secondary.  Since I haven't 
touched the CASs yet, this should just mean I'm not running HA for the weekend. 
 Hopefully this thing really finishes.

Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have!
