Allow upgrade of PureScale release or version without service outage Merged

In DB2 for LUW in a PureScale configuration when applying a FixPack it is possible to do it without stopping the whole PureScale by applying the fix in a rolling mode, node by node and activating the change at the end .

However this is not possible when performing an upgrade of release or version. In this case a complete shutdown of the cluster has to be done.

This is not acceptable for a 24x7 critical service.

The customer requests allowing the upgrades without needing to stop the whole PureScale cluster.
