Node Names
The node name, referred to in command syntax as \node, \command-node or
\remote-node, is the name of a NonStop Kernel system. A node name is used to
qualify an element, such as a tape drive or file catalog, when that element resides on a
system in a network other than your current default node.
A node name begins with the \ character, followed by 1 through 7 alphanumeric
characters. The first character after \ must be alphabetic.

characters. The first character after $ must be alphabetic. For more information on disk
