Any object conversions would happen when the iASP is varied on with a sysbase at the newer release.

So this doesn't copy stuff like user profiles, object ownership and that stuff?
I guess I can see leaving some of this stuff out of the iasp, like the key assigned to a vendor package. Stuff we already deal with in Mimix type of environments.
What about the object conversions I mentioned earlier: stream file type1 to type2, STROBJCVN, etc. Any of that a factor during the upgrade?

With PowerHA all the customer data is in an iASP leaving *SYSBAS to only
the OS and LPP. (and stuff that has to be there that the administrative
domain or HA Assist replicate)
So you push the iASP over to the second system in the cluster, vary it
on and away you go. Now number 1 only has *SYSBAS attached.
Upgrade/Apply PTFs at your pleasure during working hours. When done
bring the cluster back and repeat with number two.
Most folks actually have two copies of the iASP in separate locations
rather than just doing the clustering described above.
It's all part of clustering.

I think this has been answered before so forgive my continuing doubts.
But is this setup sort of like:
Power 7 #1
connected to SAN
Power 7 #2
You do some magic that says run on #2 now. Both #1 and #2 are using the
same SAN but only one can be 'live' at a time?
How does one upgrade the OS? Wouldn't that require some outage?
Considering that part of the OS may be a conversion like changing stream
files from TYPE1 to TYPE2 (remember that?), strobjcvn, all the system
cross reference files, etc.
