You will lose the VIPSo I will lose the virtual IP when the primary server comes up and does not see the secondary? Don't care about failover, just don't want to lose the virtual IP.

I guess I could quickly change the real nic IP addresses from what they were to those of the Virtual IP's and bring the server back up in an emergency.

Maybe, you can't, because address is already reserved for VIP (failover/ifaces.conf).Originally Posted by webguyz
Anyway, you'll have problems later, to start Failover again.
Can you use multipath on iSCSI client?
You can temporary use both addresses, VIP and RIP (for source Logical Volume).

How do you get into the OS of DSS, or is that not possible?

I can't!
But you can look into log file (Status/HW/Download...) and use some common logic - not 100%, but it helps to sompose an image.

I've just tested a little different scenario.
After power off both serveres, I've switched on Secondary first.
In this case, VIP is not active until we:
- change Volume replication modes to SOURCE and
- START Failover service.
After that, VIP is active again.
So try to reorganise your upgrade plan so, that active server is allways Secondary.
