RE: Upgrade... help!!

[Colin Williams <Williamsc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought that all temporary PTF's had to be either removed or
permanently applied before an upgrade?

                We upgraded one of our systems from V4R1 to V4R3 without
applying PTF's perm and I didn't notice any issues.  It may have taken
longer (according to the documentation), but I had no other reference to
tell if that was the case.  I don't think you need to worry.  It took us
about 3-4 hours on a 510/2144 (with some older 9337's still in use).
Good Luck!
