If you wish to have redundant head, you have failover head (but this is always active/passive setup and comes at price).
I think if your head is gone, it would be replaced soon in case of such failure (and you can always request spare parts on site if paranoid, but it will cost you).

2. Upgrades have several options. Normal is both heads are engaged in the upgrade process at the same time.
3. We prefer to
We think as time moves on the DDos upgrade process will get better when it involves a HA head.
