Hi Craig
Just checking that we can still host multiple VOLTTRON instances on one physical hardware system.
Thanks

- There will only be one PlatformAgent per instance of volttron.
- The single instance of PlatformAgent will have a vip_identity of 'platform'
- A PlatformManagerAgent can be available. From the management console an administrator can register a vip_address. Assuming the above two items are established then the PlatformManagementAgent will have access to all agents that have registered with the individual platforms.

Most definatly. The VOLTTRON_HOME just needs to be set differently for each instance
VOLTTRON_HOME=/tmp/v1home volttron -vv
VOLTTRON_HOME=/tmp/v2home volttron -vv
Seperate vip_addresses, but same vip_identity of 'platform'
According to @hashstat the "platform" name is taken for use as the actual platform. So we thought that the name --"platform.manager"-- "platform.agent" would be a good alternative vip name for this.
If PlatformAgent is going to have the VIP identity "platform.manager", then it seems we'll need a new name for PlatformManagerAgent, to avoid confusion. Perhaps VOLTTRONCentralAgent?
then the vip name for that agent could be volttron.central?
