Clustering

Clustering is connecting two or more computers together so that they behave like a single computer.
Clustering is used for parallel processing, load balancing, and fault tolerance.
See the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array compatibility reference for the clustering software
supported on each operating system. Clustering is not supported on Linux, Novell NetWare, or
VMware.
NOTE:
For OpenVMS, you must make the Console LUN ID and OS unit IDs unique throughout the entire
SAN, not just the controller subsystem.
