No, just that you re-review your settings against the recommendations.

Migrating all at once was what I had in mind.  Bring up another Linux to
test the configuration changes (if any) needed to use layer 2.  Once
that's functional, make the same change in your regular flock of penguins
and change the VSWITCH and DEFINE NIC/NICDEF settings.  Bounce them all.

If the problem is not addressed by the maintenence update, then please
contact the Support Center.
