(a new topic would have made this more visible i guess)

i always recommend larger deployments to maintain another environment 
where they stage the next version, test the upgrade to it in their 
environment, etc.

if you want to do a rolling upgrade between two environments, it 
requires exporting/importing your vm's between them. while safer, it is 
an annoyance. but it is of course much safer.
