This was one reason why I decided about upgrading ALL servers in one
hit.
I was just unsure how some of our older 5.x boxes would take to run.

Yes,
More or lees the time is 2 min per media server.
But when we did a step upgrade to a customer, (first the master, then
some media etc), with 90 san media servers and the command nbpushdata
-upgrade_5x_hosts took about 5 hours.

Not long at all - Maybe 2 mins max per Server really.

Hi Simon
I'm planning a similar upgrade and would appreciate any input you have
on timings. In particular how long did nbpushdata take ?
Cheers
