Art,
If you really want to save IPLs, create a combined V7R3 + PTF DSLO image.
When you do upgrade, the PTFs are already applied.
V7R3 upgrade will only take 1 IPL following the upgrade.
I did this process years back when going from V6R1 to V7R1, and planning on repeating this for my V7R1 to V7R3 upgrade.
Minus save before and after, I have the OS upgrade down to 1/2 hour.

We have plenty of disk space and want to do the upgrades as fast as possible.
If we don't permanently apply and IPL before we start the upgrade will those PTF's hang around forever or are they removed during the upgrade?
One one partition I need to IPL to apply the required upgrade MF PTF's, then I would have to APYPTF *ALL *PERM and IPL again. I don't think I can do that with one IPL.
