PaloAlto Firewall Firmware Upgrade (Not using Panorama)

Hi Guys,

I have a query regarding VM Series Palo alto Firmware Upgrade.
If I want to upgrade from 11.0.4 series to 11.1.6 series, Do I need to download and install 11.1 major release or I just have to download the 11.1 Major Update and then directly download and install 11.1.x version.

NEED YOUR EXPERT ADVISE.

@Raido_Rattameister
Is 11.1.6-h3 stable?
Does it have any bugs or issues?

Every release will have issues, however, some have more than others. Refer to the software release guidance page here: Support PAN-OS Software Release Guidance | Palo Alto Networks

Usually it is best to use the 'preferred release' of each code branch. However, this may be contingent on your environment.
