Hello!
I recently installed SP6 for 4.3.4. The three mandatory SMUs were installed before that, so all went well. After the activation of the SP6 pie, the pie was both in active and in inactive list. After removing all inactive PIEs and SMUs the final show install active summary looks like this

As I understand the SP6 has broken down to sub-pies for every package active on the box. So my questions are:
1. Can this be a problem for future SP or SMU installation under 4.3.4?
2. What we have to do if we want to add another package on the box, for example BNG? Do we have to add and activate SP6 pie again in order BNG_SP6 to be activated. If yes, can this affect the SP6 packages already activated ?
3. If we go for upgrade to 5.1.3 on this box, (without TURBOBOOT), are we expecting any problems with the current activated SMUs ?
Thank you,

1. By pie do you mean base packages were removed? Those should never be fully superceded. If you just meant the SMUs then as long as it is fully superceded (show install supercede) then it should only show up in inactive and install remove inactive should work.
2. If you wanted to add BNG after a SP then you would need to activate the SP again after the activation of the BNG pie. This may or may not require a reload, depends on the fixes etc in the SP
3. Shouldn't be any issues getting to 5.1.3, just make sure to follow the upgrade guide. Also since you already have a SP installed in 4.3.4 you can do an install activate with 5.1.3 base packages and a SP all at once plus use FPD auto-upgrade. If you were on 4.3.4 with no SP yet then you could not do this, this is because pre 5.1.1 had no concept of a SP (hence the SMUs needed to support SPs).
