    The same directions seem to work fine for upgrading to 12.1. I upgraded a server last night from 11.2 to 11.3 to 11.4, and then to 12.1 and it went flawlessly. Usually I download the DVD ISO and reinstall from scratch. The in-place upgrade works so well, I may do the network update instead to all my systems.
