   I thought Galaxy was multiple logical systems on one physical system.   
   DEC answer to IBM LPAR.   
      
   I am thinking about a scenario like:   
   * cluster with node A and B   
   * critical process P that for whatever reason does not work   
      running concurrent on multiple nodes runs on A   
   * node A needs to be taken down for some reason   
   * so VMS on node A and B does some magic and migrate P from A to B   
      transparent to users (obviously require a cluster IP address or   
      load balancer)

   I know about that.   
      
   Not exactly the same but similar concept.
