This may be a bit of an odd request, but I was wondering if there is a
way of clustering a bunch of old j-6000 workstations. I am looking
into creating a computational cluster for some engineering apps that
require HPUX. I was looking around but the things I see from HP are
either aimed at Itanium or high avail apps.


Thanks in advance

There was an old program called "e-utilica" that put together
"clusters" of j6000 workstations. I am not sure if any of the
specifics are online any longer or not. IIRC, it mostly involved some
variation on deploying Load Sharing Facility, and perhaps used
Ignite/UX for box installation.

Hi,

I am not sure if you are referring to High Availability Clustering or not.
If you just plan on creating some sort of parallel computational grid check
out PVM @ http://www.csm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html
