"Practical" has very little to do with my interest in this subject, LOL, but I 
have
a definite fondness for the old "classic" VAXcluster with a star coupler and 
an
HSC (or two - dual-ported disks, anyone?) for storage.

For no good reason, I fret over my inability to map the same "shared disk" 
image
to multiple emulated VAXen and have at it. Yeah, I could just MSCP-serve it 
from
one node to another, but the kewlness of having a virtual HSC50 own all my 
disks
and running a completely symmetrical shared-storage cluster cannot be 
overlooked.

Daydreaming,
