[HECnet] Galaxy questions

Yes, an ES40 can be configured as a Galaxy node. In a Galaxy there are two (or more in bigger machines) "logical" nodes (Instances) which run separately, but can also share resources like CPUs so that the CPUs can be moved from each instance to the other. You need a license called GALAXY, which is unfortunately not among the Hobbyist licenses. Why don't you read the manual to get a picture about Galaxy and its functionality. It might be easier to discuss the matter then. http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/732FINAL/aa-rezqe-te/aa-rezqe-te.PDF Kari On 15.2.2013 8:37, Ian McLaughlin wrote: Any galaxy experts out there? This concept is totally new to me, but it looks like my ES40 can be configured as a galaxy (it probably was - there's 2 of everything in there). I'd like to experiment with setting it up (why? Because it's there). Do I install a separate copy of VMS in each side? Do I configure the two galaxy members to also be a cluster? Thoughts and discussion are appreciated (remember, there's nothing 'practical' about any of this - I'm just interested in playing with all of the architectures) Also, what license do I need for galaxy?
