I haven't applied yet.  Since a rolling upgrade within a cluster appears
not to be possible, even if I upgrade to the latest HPE VMS, it's MUCH,
MUCH, MUCH more work.  Not only does one have to have two clusters 
running at the same time, one has to make sure that when the switch 
happens, everything works.

If Alpha, Itanium, and x86 can be clustered together, why not the latest 
VMS from HP(E)?  My guess is that for those running clusters, they've 
been doing rolling upgrades for decades.
