Rob,
I have done 9 upgrades from 6.1 to 6.1.1 during the last month and
as long as I have had the latest Cumulative and Hipers the 2 PTFs for 6.1
were already on the machine. Even when I had to install the SI35186 &
SI35189 PTFs they didn't require an IPL. I did an upgrade (6.1 to 6.1.1) on
a 2 processor 520 the other night, and from PWRDWNSYS to coming up after the
IPL for applying the PTFs (loaded and reapplied 171 PTFs, which was at same
level of Cumulative and Hipers as I was on before upgrade) it was about 2
hours.
I think you are confusing the Network install and image catalogues.
The new Network install function requires that second list of PTFs, and I
haven't yet done one of those.

Subject: Upgrades to 6.1.1 via image catalogs.
Apparently there's a few ptf's needed to upgrade to 6.1.1 via image
catalogs. And they're delayed - yee haw! Let's see, IPL to apply these
ptf's, IPL to apply all ptfs permanently, IPL to perform upgrade, IPL to
apply cume, IPL to apply groups, etc.
