Sadly, true.  I used Tru64 clustering which was the best Unix clustering
solution I have ever seen to this day.  It was a beautifully engineered
single image system.  You could manage the entire cluster, regardless of
which node your process ran on.  All the OS common system information
was shared across the cluster.  Of course this required SAN or at least
shared bus storage.  Much of the engineering was ported from VAX
Clustering. HP killed it in favor of Veritas clustering for "marketing"
reasons.
