No real success for me I'm afraid. I did a complete export from my 4.3.6 MARS 50 as per the migration guide. Reimage to 6.0.1 went without any problems but the configurations import never completes.

I've done this twice now and never get further than the message

"Importing data into database ...

Updating data package, may take half hour or longer..."

If I reconnect and do a pnimp status I'm told no import is running.

I never see the messages

"Configuration data binary import done.

Configrestore succeeded!

!!! Updating system settings ..." as stated by the guide and I never get an automatic reboot.

What could be going on here?

Regards

Strangest thing is after I manually rebooted the MARS.

Version command says 4.3.6 and the web gui says 4.3 but as far as I can see all the 6.x features are present.

Upgrade on our 110R was successful, and so far, so good performance/functionality-wise. We've been solid for the last week, averaging 43 million plus events per day.

In the release notes it's mentioned that restricted models automatically upgrade to non-restricted as part of the 6.0.1 update? Is this actually true? It's a $60k list upgrade to take our 110R to a full 110. While I sure won't complain if that's the case, it seems rather generous of Cisco to do so at no cost.
