Thanks - I generally run updates like this past the support folks to make sure I'm not digging a grave for myself before I jump on in - they recommended going to the latest 6.4 after updating the firmware to 4.3 before going to 6.5.2R1 - I probably need to wait until the WAFL updates are finished before doing the 6.4->6.5.2R1 update though.

The nearstores are already on 6.5.2, so the update to 6.5.2R1 should be pretty boring... (at least I hope so)

In the future I will probably keep a little more on top of keeping up with the GA releases as they come out to save pain when updating in the future (keep the version jumps to a minimum). It's just I also kind of subscribe to the "not-broke/dont-fix" philosophy as well. For example, I had a really old F880 in production which was running some ancient 6.0 version and had an uptime of some ridiculous uptime (~2 years) which I recently updated to 6.4.4R1 that I also needed to do in a couple of steps. Since it was a production box and not causing any issues I never updated it until finally a problem came up and support recommended (aka: insisted) I update it so they could better diagnose it.

Cheers, Simon.

Keep in mind that you'll need to install at least one intermediate release for the DOT 6.1R1 box, and possibly for your Nearstores also. I think you have to be on 6.4.2P6 or above to upgrade to 6.5. You'll want to confirm that though my mind is soft today.
