the "cisco's" upgrading process didn't work for us. I had to reload all
router with the total downtime during 1 hour. Because when I restarted 
the slave on SXI3 (the master was in SXI1), the sync between master/slave 
didn't work. I got this:

then with the hard reload, I got this:

*Dec 10 03:35:03.499: %ISSU_PROCESS-SW1_SP-3-IMAGE: Active is loading the wrong 
image [ disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SXI3.bin ], expected image [ 
disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SXI1.bin ]
*Dec 10 03:35:04.255: %RF-SW1_SP-5-RF_RELOAD: Shelf reload. Reason: Active is 
loading the wrong image
*Dec 10 03:35:04.255: %OIR-SW1_SP-6-CONSOLE: Changing console ownership to 
switch processor

my personal conclusion: the next vss I have to upgrade will be down during only 
10 
minutes because I won't risk the new "standard" upgrading process again. I will 
reload
hard the vss and all will be up 10 minutes after ... The vss upgrading systeme 
with 
"no downtime" doesn't work for us, maybe because our vss have lot of port 
channels 
(350), lot of ports (582) and some trafic (40Gbps switching/routing) and it's 
very 
difficult to sync (more that 16 hours).
