How about devices? I am sure there are routers, switches, gateways, firewalls and maybe storage hardware monitored by nagios that are high priority/highly critical and worthy of test?

How deeply should testing go or, put another way, how much go-live risk can be tolerated? Should a gap analysis of stage environment to production be performed prior to making a nagios test plan? I am not sure how rigorously structured this upgrade plan should be!
