[Info-vax] Current limitations os VMS X86?

[Stefan Möding]

Hi!

Reading the vsi-openvms-x86-64-v921-installation-guide left me a bit
confused.  Maybe someone can enlighten me on the following two issues I am
wondering about:

Cluster with shared system disk

Is this possible on VMS X86?  The installation manual describes a cluster
setup using a cloned disk for the seconds node.  This looks to me as if
currently only MSCP served local disks are possible in a VMS X86 cluster.

Terminal connection for installation

A serial port attached to the ESXi host seems to be required for the
installation.  Is this used only for the installation or will this be the
operator console later on?  Can VMS X86 run without a serial console?  If
the console is attached to an ESXI network port, then running a VMS
machine on a VMware cluster where the VM can be migrated from one ESXi
host to another seems not feasible.
