Eugene, Under normal circumstances, if all PTF's are permanently applied, a release upgrade will make the old system objects and associated PTF's go away. There have been a number of instances in which temporarily applied PTF's can linger on from release upgrade to release upgrade. There may be a few loose bits lying around, but these are not active and only take up disk space. You don't mention whether you performed a reclaim storage as part of your therapy. That might fix the issue. After all you've been through, it might be therapeutic. That raises the question as to how normal are your circumstances. My gut reaction is to do the complete backup thing (I prefer option 21 over SAVSTG), do a RCLSTG, permanently apply all the PTF's, and then do an upgrade. Vernon posted a link to the hardware manual. I think that after you review it, you'll find that removing the FSIOP and moving the Ethernet card are not overly difficult. If you have resolved your problems with the disk controller, you could choose any available release and still maintain access to your Ethernet card.
