This sounds like the zSeries LPARs

In a Galaxy there are two (or more in bigger machines) "logical" nodes (Instances) which run separately, but can also share resources like CPUs so that the CPUs can be moved from each instance to the other.

Hello!
Yes and no. Yes there are two or more CPUs inside there. No its not
like the Lpars that the zSeries supports, in that case there is
support stuff to properly enable the logical partitioning of the
system. Both hardware and software.

However they are being strongly discouraged. The SEs are trying to
convince people to go the guest approach instead.

However Kari Uusim  ki is quite correct that the Galaxy configuration
is not part of the hobbyist load. It is something that would need to
be purchased along with a professional license for VMS.

And please don't ask how I know all of that.
