RE: IXA/IXS/ISCSI RE: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

Yeah, only having one DNS, and having it on an IXS card, can wreak havoc 
during a 24 hour downtime of the whole i5 box.  You might as well use 
native i5/os DNS support.  Then again, you should always have two DNS's.

No big deal, but we did run into things like "it's really best if this one 
IXS comes up first and goes down last versus the other IXS cards".

And it takes us about 20 minutes to vary off an IXS card.  We were using 
multiple sessions to get ready for downtime.  But since we are using a 
program now (to ensure that the one goes down in the right order) there 
are ways to vary it off async versus sync.
