Re: (ASCEND) 5.1Ap4 to 6.1.3
Thanks. I just decided to give it the smoke test and went from 5.1Ap4
directly to 6.1.5 (tsave, tload, fsave, and nvram). The doco is not real
clear on this issue and is a little inconsistent between a document on
the web versus that in the release notes. For example, one says to do a
fsave after tload and another says that tload automatically does a
fsave.
Nothing is smoking and things appear to work. Now we will see if the
weekly reboots stop.
