Shared or separate system disk? That'll make a real difference.

Basically just run _at_CLUSTER_CONFIG and follow the instructions, the worst
you'll have to do is reload. Ideally though spend some time reading the
cluster manuals. You can either read them online, or buy them from Compaq.

The doc's can be found online at http://www.openvms.digital.com:8000 the
two clustering manuals are about $30 apiece if you want paper copies. I
got the basic set of doc's and the cluster manuals.

I just setup the first system in my cluster to boot off of another systems
disk tonite, but haven't fought LMF yet to get it licensed. When I was
doing it CLUSTER_CONFIG told me how to start up MOP.

Even with separate system disks on most of the cluster members I've still
got a bunch of the files such as the SYSUAF.DAT file shared. Trust me, it
really helps when all the cluster members are shareing the same SYSUAF!
