Upgrading to ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7 and Portal installation has no progress

[EricHeinrichs]

I am trying to upgrade our Enterprise to 10.7, and the it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I have stopped and restarted it, and it always seems to be stuck here, with no progress being shown.

The Task Manager seems to show that it's doing something, but other than that, I've got no feedback whether the installation is working or not.

How long did your previous upgrade take?

[EricHeinrichs]

It wasn't nearly as long as this.

It's finally started installing, but it's been reeeeaaallly slow.

Once the Portal upgrade is done, I will restart the server, and see if that helps.

[BillFox]

Successful?

[EricHeinrichs]

Yes, it finally finished. It took a long time start.

We've got 10.7 up and running on our system now.

In my experience with upgrading and patching ArcGIS Enterprise, the progress bar will be blank for a really long time but it is still running. I think when I went from ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6 to 10.6.1 it took just over 2 hours to complete.

[BillFox]

yes, I think 10.4 to 10.5 upgrade setup.exe step alone took about 30 minutes.

[Joshua-Young]

Sorry, I meant to say the ArcGIS Portal part of the upgrade took just over 2 hours to complete. The ArcGIS Portal upgrade was so much slower than the ArcGIS Server or ArcGIS Data Store upgrades.

Just did the upgrade (Non-HA) 10.5.0 to 10.7 Portal, WA's, Server, Patches, Datastores...adjust python scripts, etc... 6 hours start to finish.

Entire stack on non HA from 10.6.1 to 10.7.1 took me just under 6 hours too.
