How do I find out if the ptf SI46137 is still needed if loading RS-710-M ?
 
From docs on SF99710
To prevent a PTF install failure and automate any extra required
IPLs, PTF SI46137 must be active BEFORE installing this
cumulative PTF package. Enter the following command to determine
if PTF SI46137 is active:
DSPPTF LICPGM(5770SS1) SELECT(SI46137)

Ok, we're getting somewhere.
I would definitely eschew trying to get these into *SERVICE before the 
upgrade.  Not going to happen.
Here's the good news:
PTF group  . . . . . . . . :   SF99707 
Level  . . . . . . . . . . :   9 
Status . . . . . . . . . . :   Installed
Target release . . . . . . :   V7R1M0 
Text  . . . . . . :   TECHNOLOGY REFRESH
PTF      Product 
ID       ID       Release
...
MF58616  5770999  V7R1M0 
...
So, if you 
LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(V7) DEV(OPTVRT01)
WRKIMGCLGE V7
6=Mount on your I_BASE volume
WRKLNK '/QOPT'
5=Display
Find this directory I_BASE_01
5=Display
Near the bottom you should see a file called 
RS_710_M
That confirms that you have Resave M.
Resave M will have TR9 loaded.
TR9 will have MF58616.
With all this in place you won't have to 'm'uck with preloading any 
individual PTF's after your upgrade to 7.1 to use image catalogs to load 
further PTF's.
Is that enough confirmation for you?
Need bibliography?
