This loginidentification is determined in the following manner:vvvIn the absence of a nodename entry in the dsm.sys file, or a virtualnodenameentry in the client user options file (dsm.opt), or a virtual node name specifiedon a command line, the default login ID is the name that the hostnamecommand returns.If a nodename entry exists in the dsm.sys file, the nodename entry overrides thename that the hostname command returns.If a virtualnodename entry exists in the client system options file (dsm.sys), or avirtual node name is specified on a command line, it cannot be the same nameas the name returned by the hostname command.
