Clusters
Mixed clusters including Caché 4.1 and 5 servers are not supported nor are mixed clusters containing OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX members.
Notes:
1 - Cluster shadowing is only supported with Caché 5
2 - Because of database-format-related differences (such as maximum database size and subscript length) some 4.1 and 5 databases cannot be shadowed to a 4.0 system.
