I have done production upgrades since for eva ago.
I never had an issue in upgrades except on x86 machines where the
drivers were updated an no longer supported older hardware like sfp modules.
Too easy roll back a few and order new sfps' and viola easy upgrade to
6.46.6
If your concerned about a router fail have one already updated with new
ROS and config on standby.
my 2 cents

What differences exactly? What's the diff say?
What does an upgrade have to do with this? Why can't you just upgrade?

We have a number of devices to upgrade from 6.35 to 6.42. In
testing the
upgrade in a lab, I'm finding many discrepancies in the "export"
output.
The steps I took were:
(On the production router) export file=prod-config
- set up an identical spare router on the same RoS as the prod
router,
reset its configuration, and copy/paste the output of the export
command
from the prod router into the spare router
- upgrade the spare router to 6.42.6
- export the upgraded router config (export file=upgraded-spare)
After this, I compare the differences between the files exported
on the
original production router (still running 6.35.x) and the upgraded
spare
router (now running 6.42.6). When doing so, I see many
differences, and
am concerned that when we upgrade the production routers that they
will
no longer work.
Is there anything that may help with this? Tools, documentation,
etc? Or
with RoS automatically do the conversion of commands from the earlier
versions to the newest version?
Thanks
Sam
