<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I've never seen this in any of the supported upgrade methods in any Cisco document. It would also seem you'd run into licensing issues. I also thought someone here wanted to do something
similar and the finding was the database would still be marked as unsuppoted. Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
