This seems quite accurate to me.

Our experience of ISSU has been terrible. We've found multiple bugs
related to it, and have found that -- in general -- we're much better
off in terms of service disruption with a "classic" upgrade (upgrade
secondary, reload peer, force failover, etc).

Cisco advised us that it is unlikely that ISSU on 7600/6500 will meet
our requirements, and hence we are better off doing classic upgrades.
We've taken their advice, and will not be trying it again. I think



As it happens I just did a "half-test" on one of our boxes where I did the "issu loadversion" so that I could see what it told me about outage times - and all kinds of horrific messages started spraying onto the console about missing ifindex values, IDB failures and so forth.

I quickly did an "issu abortversion"

Bah. Thanks a lot Cisco...
