Reminds me of the OpenVMS clusters.. Police in Amsterdam celebrated in 2007 an uptime of 10 years of their cluster. In this period, all hardware was replace, and half of it was moved to another location 7 km away. All data moved from DAS disks to SAN without one application needed to be stopped. Also VMS was upgraded from 6.2 to 7.3-2. The VMS cluster did not go down during all of these changes. I <3 OpenVMS

During Y2K I've also had to shutdown various OpenVMS servers with uptime over 10 years... Only because of company policies, not because OpenVMS required the reboot.

Would be interesting to know if it is still up and running?
