Question about HACMP for active-active mode

Hi,
there is Sybase Cluster Edition that works similar to Oracle RAC.
In addition there are a lot of Vendor applications out there that have built in ha-facilities and can run / should run in a concurrent resource group - not for availability - but for load balancing reasons. And here the cluster facilities are not used for the applications themselves but for the infrastructure that points to the application. If one node goes down, the service IP just starts pointing to the other node - the application - though down on the previous node - remains available. Great solution for any kind of application that doesnt produce volatile data at all.
We have several clusters where Websphere and MQ are running active on both nodes - serving different functions - and again failover to the other node when required - serving different clients, different applications - and yes we want different instances of the same application being up on one node if the other node dies.
We have as well lots of sybase databases in a hacmp setup that have the same content but serve different purposes. Sybase replication server replicates the content of database 1 into database 2. As long as both nodes are up, database 1 is used for trading, database 2 for reporting - when one of the nodes dies, it fails over to the other node - replication remains running - and you still can use both databases for these different purposes - nothing in the listeners, pointer files or anything has to change because the IP of the application doesn't change ... and additional resources are just added via dlpar scripts if required - so nothing is starving ...
Possibilities are countless and so are the benefits of having live-live clusters
Kind regards

cmrunnode
cmrunnode(1m) cmrunnode(1m) NAME
cmrunnode - run a node in a high availability cluster SYNOPSIS
cmrunnode [-v] [node_name...] [-t | -w none] DESCRIPTION
cmrunnode causes a node to start its cluster daemon to join the existing cluster. This command verifies the network configuration before causing the node to start its cluster daemon. To start a cluster on one of its nodes, a user must either be superuser(UID=0), or have an access policy of FULL_ADMIN allowed in the clus- ter configuration file. See access policy in cmquerycl(1m). Starting a node will not cause any active packages to be moved to the new node. However, if a package is DOWN, has its switching enabled, and is able to run on the new node, that package will automatically run there. If node_name is not specified, the cluster daemon will be started on the local node and will join the existing cluster. Options cmrunnode supports the following options: -v Verbose output will be displayed. -t Test only. Provide an assessment of the package placement without affecting the current state of the nodes or packages. The -w option is not required with the -t option as -t does not validate network connectivity, but assumes that all the nodes can meet any external dependencies such as EMS resources, package subnets, and storage. node_name... Start the cluster daemon on the specified node(s). -w none By default network probing is performed to check that the network connectivity is the same as when the cluster was configured. Any anomalies are reported before the cluster daemons are started. The -w none option disables this probing. The option should only be used if this network configuration is known to be correct from a recent check. RETURN VALUE
cmrunnode returns the following value: 0 Successful completion. 1 Command failed. EXAMPLES
Run the cluster daemon on the current node: cmrunnode Run the cluster daemons on node1 and node2: cmrunnode node1 node2 AUTHOR
