I have set the test BES to point to router 127.0.01 so the test server is unable to connect to anything upstream.

Hope this makes sense.
I can't see how you'll be able to test anything ... you can't connect to the BES infrastructure.

Follow this for installing the SP: KB04882 - Best practices for installing a BlackBerry Enterprise Server service pack

Take a backup and make sure you have the 4.1 SP4 installation files in case you have to roll back. Testing something like this against your production environment with a database you copy really wouldn't be the best practice. You're better off with a temp SRP connected to a temp database with some test users.
