Nate,

I can only speak to the part I left above.  The statement you pulled from the 
documentation means multiple VCL users are not provisioned onto the same node 
at the same time.  A node in this case could be a VM or a bare metal system, 
but it does not refer to a hypervisor.  Many VMs are provisioned onto a single 
hypervisor with the hypervisor being shared by the users on the VMs, but only 
one user is assigned to a VM at any given time.

Nodes provisioned under the Server Profiles portion of the site can have an 
exception to this if a user group is assigned to the reservation with the 
intent that the reservation is to be shared by multiple users.

Does that answer the second portion of your question?
