It has been a long time but at least one node in a
cluster could boot without any other members. Some
members would boot diskless or just with a swapfile
local and they would have to wait on the node with the
operating system. I do think each cluster had a
minimum number of members like 51% of the total. I
know the whole cluster would hang for a while when a
node joined. I used Basic to raw write to a unmounted
disk under RSTS/E not sure but VMS may allow the same.
