Does anyone know...

If the uVAX that manages the console system can also run other things ?

If the uVAX can act as the console for non-clustered machines ?

What problems are there of doing either of the above ?

What problems, if any, are there with the console system ? (any "GOTCHAs" ?)

Thanks !

Its been a while sine I used one while I was at DEC but I believe that the 
uVAX used for the console can run other applications.  The connections from
the console system to the remote host use the standard serial ports and
optical cabling. The remote hosts do not have to be part of a cluster and 
don't even have to be VMS systems if you are willing to rewrite the file that contains the character strings the Cluster Console searches for.
