Sure, 2 node clusters are the easiest to build. But in the 80s, VMS already had clustering of a solidness we're all still trying to emulate again ... ;-)
True. But on the other hand, VMS lacked useability and flexibility. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Even if I never tried it, AFAIK VMS ran only on its specific hardware which is unbearable with today's open system. Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

We're way OT, but VMS is still alive and kicking. Now called OpenVMS for some reason. Runs on HP Alphas and Intel Itaniums (IA-64) at a minimum. (I think VAX support has been dropped from the most recent releases.) See the Sept 2007 roadmap. http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/roadmap/openvms_roadmaps.htm I think it is still reputed to be some of the best clustering around. I never used it, but I know many people that have.
