Unix on a VAXCluster ??

Chris Torek has started a rumor: "Ultrix 3.0 will support clusters". Now,
what does this really mean? What would we WANT it to mean? Some ideas:
1/ use of CI bus for Ultrix networking, including NFS
2/ private (mounted by 1 cpu only) Ultrix-format volumes on an HSC
(shared access through NFS, of course)
3/ directly shared Ultrix-format volumes on an HSC
4/ access to Files-11 volumes on an HSC, presumably shared with other
VMS nodes in the cluster
5/ complete cluster membership, including shared files and all other
cluster-global resources
6/ something else
I'm sure the rumor doesn't mean (5). My guess is that the rumor means
(1) or perhaps (1+2). Can anyone comment who knows more than Chris
and I do?
