Hello,

    I did an issu upgrade on an MX240 with dual routing engines, going from 15.1R6 to 17.4R2, and I had reviewed the fine manuals particularly concerning advance steps to ensure nonstop routing and so forth. But during the upgrade (near the very end), the router did offline my MPC 3D 16x 10GE, resulting in loss of routing for 5 minutes. According to juniper in their docs that state that:

"Unified ISSU is supported with Junos OS Release 17.4R1 for MX Series routers with MPC-3D-16XGE-SFPP"

    my expectations were that the card would stay online and there would be little to no operational impact, but this clearly wasn't the case. I am just wondering if anyone can tell me why this might have been the case and in the future what steps I would need to take to ensure this both otherwise stays on the air during a future software update?

I haven't thought about ISSU since 1 year after it first made an appearance across vendor platforms.

Are people still actually considering it, or even trying to use it?

It didn't seem - to me anyway - that it had any chance of delivering on its promise more than a decade ago. I can't fathom that this situation has changed in 2021, but I could be wrong.

Mark.
