You'd only really need one spare and then just cycle through them one by one... but I realize I've always operated at a very low scale and there are some really big scale operators out there.

I'm fairly confident that the transition from OL to V7 with container migration should be fairly smooth... even without live migration it shouldn't be too much trouble if planned for.
