I used TruCluster (late 90s thru 2006) which was Tru64 UNIX (from DEC UNIX), I think it shared a lot of tech with VMS clustering. Many interesting ideas, such as being able to write to the filesystem with a guaranteed IO rate from any cluster node (100MB/s at a tiime when that was a lot) and many other things that are less interesting after you rewrite your software around not needing clustering.
