A Quick Boot Allows You To Do What

[Juliano Nichols]

Additionalproblems are that my keyboard reset (so the lights are turned off, lights like NumLock, CapsLock, etc every time i shutdown or restart the PC, so it is impossible to determine when the keyboard is actually connected);

You will need to use the BIOS administrator password to access the BIOS as you appear to have set one, based on your description. Press power and then immediately begin tapping the F10 key at a roughly half second interval.

Sorry to say, but full of inconvenient stuff like that. As default, it used to put itself on sleep every 5 minutes with the obligation to 1./ Switch user, and then re-enter my password. It was not easy to disable that feature.

CAUTION: If you enable the stringent security feature and you forget the setup password or the power-on password, the computer is inaccessible and can no longer be used. If you lose or forget the password, the system board must be replaced. This scenario is not covered under warranty. To prevent the computer from becoming permanently unusable, record your configured setup password or power-on password in a safe place away from your computer. Without these passwords, the computer cannot be unlocked.

I have just contact the online support, and they said that the motherboard should be replaced. Still don't know why. There would be no such trouble, or at least those trouble would be more obvious, if silly options like quick boot were not enabled by default.

I suspect that your systemboard has other issues anyway. You should have been able to upgrade in pairs of memory modules produced by well known memory manufacturers. The memory manufacturers, like KIngston, Crucial, ADATA and others, can guarantee the compatibility of their products because they have been exhaustively tested in a Quality Assurance lab. Don't try upgrading memory by simply matching memory types and bus bandwidth and adding a module to an already installed module that is not identical. It is usually a waste of your time and financial resources, unless you just happen to be lucky. Let the memory makers do the work for you.

What can be done to a "normal" (Linux Mint, not micro or embedded) distribution in order to boot "nearly immediately" as seen for instance here? What magic is that, and why doesn't every distro have this feature?

I'm curious and frankly getting more and more impatient with the boot-up time of my desktop and laptop. Both are running 64-bit Linux Mint (17 quiana on the desktop, 17.1 rebecca on the laptop). Both have plenty of RAM and SSD boot drives (desktop also has spinning storage). I'll gladly post more elaborate specs if needed, but I figure it's first and foremost a matter of technique.

The desktop machine in particular is driving me nuts with its SATA controller spending 13 seconds tasting the attached devices. Every. Gorram. Time. EDIT: Fixed this, which reduced boot time by almost 1/3rd. Perhaps this is adequate.

These machines are for the typical advanced-home-user mix of uses: browser, multimedia, Skype, USB plugging of various devices, development (-in-a-virtual-machine), and so on. I can't make do with a tablet or ultralight, because I do need the occasional bit of processing power, and I'm too ...me... to settle without fiddling with the UI candy (and configuring the keyboard for Dvorak).

I've installed and run bootchart (including a change to my fstab because my SSD is set up to run /var/log into memory, which caused the charts to not survive rebooting). My total boot time is about 43 seconds (on the desktop).

The SATA BIOS stage (sorry for bad quality) takes a whopping 13 seconds to complete, and I can find nowhere in the BIOS settings to reconfigure this. If only I had known before buying the motherboard... (note to self for next build!) I did manage to find an instruction around this. Now my drives are using IDE mode, which seems to work.

I would recommend using bootchart to see what is causing the delay and then once you know that you can make changes to boot as fast as possible. Below is my boot chart, from powered off to on in mere seconds. This is with a full Ubuntu 14.04 install. But you must first figure out what is causing the delay before we can help you to make it faster. Here is the link to the boothcart website. I would start there and report back. In case anyone cares here is a complete reboot of my system in under 23 seconds.

I too faced this issue for a while and recently resolved it. Through reading other SO posts it definitely seems to be related to the snapshot that the Emulator is trying to boot from - as eluded to by @Raimo's answer. Although I don't fully understand the cause for why this is happening (it happened to all of the AVDs I had saved) I've resolved it by configuring my AVD to perform a "cold boot" instead of a "quick boot" whenever I launch it. This solves the "Snapshot doesn't exist" message & the emulator boots as expected, allowing you to run and test your application.

Start the Virtual Device now (close it if you previously had it running whilst making these changes so that they take effect). The "Snapshot doesn't exist" message won't appear and your emulator will start as expected.

Fast Boot, known by other names such as Hiberboot or Fast Startup, is a feature within Windows designed to reduce boot-up times after a shutdown. Its integration has transformed the way Windows systems resume their operation, a crucial performance element for both personal users and IT professionals.

With the advancements in Windows OS, especially from Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 onwards, the operating system brought forth several features aiming at boosting performance and user experience. One such feature is the Windows Fast Boot. For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT professionals, minimizing boot times translates to quicker workstation readiness, resulting in better productivity and user satisfaction. Thus, ensuring that Fast Boot is enabled can be of paramount importance.

For IT professionals or those using an IT management platform like NinjaOne, the ability to control and optimize system behavior, such as enabling Windows Fast Boot, is critical. NinjaOne can further complement such scripts, allowing IT managers to deploy them across various systems, ensuring peak system performance and optimal user experience

Building an efficient and effective IT team requires a centralized solution that acts as your core service deliver tool. NinjaOne enables IT teams to monitor, manage, secure, and support all their devices, wherever they are, without the need for complex on-premises infrastructure.

Unfortunately, one cannot simply enable Quick Boot. Officially, it is available only for some HP and Dell servers. You can also find the compatibility list on your ESXi 6.7 Update 1 host at the following path: /usr/lib/vmware/loadesx/platforms.txt.

While checking whether any of my servers are on the compatibility list, I found a way to set up Quick Boot in ESXi 6.7 Update 1 builds tailored for Dell serves. At some point, it became really interesting to see not only how much time Quick Boot can save you but also what happens if I install a standard ESXi 6.7 Update 1 build on a Dell server. Can I still enable that feature? To check it out, I used a regular ESXi 6.7 Update 1 build here instead of one tailored for Dell servers.

Note that TSM-SSH service may stop after the reboot, making the ssh connection impossible. You need to start the service via ESXi Web Console. Go to Manage => Services and start TSM-SSH.

Even though Quick Boot is officially said to work only on some Dell and HP servers, it is great to see this feature in VMware vSphere anyway. It makes applying changes a bit faster, making the overall experience with ESXi less annoying. In my case, Quick Boot saved me like 2 min or so for rebooting ESXi. One may argue that it is not that much, but if you go to some really big environments, Quick Boot saves a hassle and prevents downtime.

With the release of vSphere 6.7 many enhancement to existing features and new features came. One of the efficient feature vSphere Quick Boot is available and I will be discussing this feature in this post.vSphere Quick Boot is an innovation by VMware and this feature helps on restarting the ESXi hypervisor without rebooting the underlying physical host. Quick Boot eliminates the time-consuming device initialization and self-testing procedures shortening the time. Not only the reboot, but Quick Boot also supports patching and upgrades of vSphere hosts through vSphere Update Manager.

This functionality is only available for hosts that are running ESXi 6.7 with compatible Hardware. Even if your hardware is compatible with Quick Boot and you are running a legacy version of ESXi, this feature will not be available. If the system is incompatible with vSphere 6.7 Quick Boot, it will perform a regular reboot.

The Update Manager UI will present Quick Boot as an option for servers that support the feature, however, for some servers, this option will not be available and your host will perform regular reboot rather than a Quick Boot.You may see this issue if:

In this article, we have discussed vSphere quick boot and how to configure in vSphere 6.7.Not all servers or configurations support the Quick Boot feature, you have to check hardware compatibility with Vmware to configure this feature.

Fast boot is a feature in some BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) settings that allows your computer to skip some steps during the boot process and start up faster. It can be useful if you want to save time and energy when you turn on your computer, but it also has some drawbacks that you should be aware of. In this article, we will explain what fast boot does, how to enable or disable it, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of using it.
