Hi, I did tons of up-front research and prep before attempting the installation including following each recommended step in this post<http://ozgrant.com/2007/11/24/tips-for-upgrading-from-tfs2005-to-tfs2008/>. I was pretty optimistic considering that there are very few issues reported so far.
I had never installed SQL Server 2005 SP1 on my single-box TFS machine so I installed it. Everything passed in the System Health Check afterwards. The installation process was fairly smooth and quick until the progress bar made it to just a little bit left and then it appears to just sit for over an hour. It basically looks like it sits until it depleted all of the room left on the C:\ drive of the server (which had 7 GB available at the beginning of the installation). After rerunning the installation a few times, I figured out that something was indeed going on behind the scenes and that the tempdb log was growing and growing (when the install finally failed, the tempdb log was 5 GB in size). The message box from the installation simply states, "Error 29250.Team Build Upgrade failed to complete successfully". I opened up the logs and the last couple of lines have this: Starting execution of steps from prereq01_PrepareUpgrade.sql.resources Finished execution of steps from prereq01_PrepareUpgrade.sql.resources Starting execution of steps from step01_MigrateBuilds.sql.resources Finished execution of steps from step01_MigrateBuilds.sql.resources Starting execution of steps from step02_MigrateBuildQualities.sql.resources Finished execution of steps from step02_MigrateBuildQualities.sql.resources Starting execution of steps from step03_MigrateBuildSteps.sql.resources Finished execution of steps from step03_MigrateBuildSteps.sql.resources Starting execution of steps from step04_MigrateAssociatedChangesets.sql.resources Finished execution of steps from step04_MigrateAssociatedChangesets.sql.resources Starting execution of steps from step05_MigrateAssociatedWorkItems.sql.resources Finished execution of steps from step05_MigrateAssociatedWorkItems.sql.resources Starting execution of steps from step06_MigrateOpenedWorkItems.sql.resources I then cleaned up the C:\ drive to have 13 GB of disk space available and reran the installation. It still took a long while and depleted all of the space on the C:\ drive but made it one step further to "step07" (I don't have the text in front of me but I believe it mentions migrating Projects or something). So I am now on my 7th run of the installation. This time, I have setup SQL Server to create the tempdb files on a separate drive which has 26 GB available. It has been running for a while and has depleted 7 GB of disk space. All of this seems a bit crazy. Why would the logs be growing like this? One important thing to note is that I never installed TFS 2005 SP1 on this machine but I don't know why this would make a difference (it wasn't flagged in the System Health Check either). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, JZ OzTFS.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
