What I think the problem is that the server was ordered with 7200RPM NLSAS 
volumes. The customer went back and bought 15K SAS drives. I'm re-doing the 
whole thing starting tomorrow.

When the extract/insert phase was "paused" we could watch the disk usage on the 
7.1 system going crazy. It just wasn't performing well.

Hi Bill,

are all DB volumes online or do you have some of them varied offline? We had 
this on our site, where not all DB volume copies were online when we started 
the upgrade.
