I don’t know that a couple days are accurate, unless the CE just doesn’t want to work more than 8 hours. I will tell you though that it was a lengthy process. Probably 8-10 hours if I remember right when we made that jump a year or so ago. We normally allot 5-6 hours of time for IBM to complete before our maintenance window, and in this particular case, we almost blew through our window of work because the updates ran so long. WE now schedule a 12 hour window for IBM to do their work just because of this. My team mate, might see this post and offer up a bit more information.
