Aren't there upgrades which may affect user data? Something like the
*TYPE1 to *TYPE2 conversion of stream files comes to mind. STROBJCVN.
These sorts of things. Probably not insurmountable. Much like once we
upgrade "backup" and switch to it, "primary" doesn't come back up until
it's upgraded also.

Apparently you can use Power HA and share the disk between two boxes.

When

one box fails it flops over to the second box.

PowerHA implies IASP. Only the IASP can be switched from one system to
another.
You still have SYSBASE disks on all systems in the PowerHA cluster. And
you can still perform your maintenance operations (upgrade, PTFs,
hardware) after switching over.
