The intent is that, if the DAS is down when the instance starts up,
the startup will continue with a warning. My understanding is that
that's what v2 does, is that not the case?
We haven't quite got to that point with v3, however...
And, if the DAS later comes up, and it is discovered that the instance
is out of sync with the DAS, the instance will need to be restarted.
We'll probably need a policy flag to control whether the instance
restarts automatically in this case or whether the administrator is
informed that the instance needs to be restarted.
