[mod.computers.vax] VAXcluster software

ESC1318@ESOC.BITNET (07/01/86)

  Sorry if this is repeating on you, but I sent the original back in the
  Great Quiet of 06/86.

  The original was probably a repeat of previous questions but I'd appreciate
  a few replies.

  I'm interested in VAXcluster software (oh dear !!)

  a)  has anyone out there got any experience/comments to make on
      the timings involved in failover ?
  b)  has anyone tried operating a hardware cluster without the VAXcluster
      software ?

  As well as any help on the 2 questions above I'd be grateful for any
  tales/experiences with VAXclusters. We've got (will have) 3 processor nodes
  (2 real time applic, and 1 backup/dev machine) with HSC dual ported disks.
  I'm trying to investigate the problems / benefits of using or not using the
  VAXcluster software with our hardware cluster.

     Thanks for taking your time to read this , I'd be grateful for any
   experience / knowledge you could pass on.

                    Regards.
                        Mike Brett
