Close, but I would argue that the "cluster" itself could remain up for
10 years with individual nodes being up for far less.  The posting I
did was for a single machine.  I seem to recall a record for a VAX in
the 5 year range, but can't find the reference.  The machine I posted
will need to be upgraded to V7.3-2 soon, so the record for us here
will soon stop...
