Let's say i have 2 hosts
HostA
32 cpu
64 Gb ram

HostB
32 cpu
64 Gb ram

is it possible to make both of them running like as HostC
64 cpu
128 Gb Ram

Cem,

What are you actually asking about? VMware ESX environment? Are Hosts A & B virtual or physical?

2 physical hosts and i want them to behave
like 64cpu and 128 Gb ram as one host(HostC)

so HostC means virtual...

Have you ever heard such a kind of consept?

You cannot span one virtual server accross two physical boxes if you mean that.

What you can do though with ESX 3.0 is dynamic resource allocation which will load ballance & automatically move your VMs between physical hosts accordingly to the workload.

is it possible for unix systems?

Sun Solaris only.

Full 32-bit support + 64-bit described as an 'experimental' (whatever it means)

There are other virtualization products that may do what you're asking for, but are these x86 hosts, HP9000, or what?

It sounds like you're more interested in grid computing rather than supporting multiple virtual servers on a few hosts.

You might want to take a look at products like DataSynapse and PolyServe.

You don't want a clustering solution, like Serviceguard? If you want two physical hosts to act like one - that sounds like clustering to me . . .
