Establishes a cluster alias node identifier for use by the local node. The node-id is a DECnet node identifier that can be either a node-name or a node-address. This alias permits the local node to be associated with a cluster node identifier common to some or all the nodes in a cluster, in addition to its own unique node-id. If this parameter is not specified, the local node is not associated with a cluster alias node identifier. If a node-name is to be used as the alias node-id, the node-name must previously have been defined in the database.
