o already exists
An alias entity already exists.
o wrong node type
An alias entity cannot be created on an alias node.
2 – port
Creates an instance of an alias port entity. An alias port entity
provides a means to define an alternate network address for this
node, which is shared by other nodes in the same OpenVMS cluster.
create [node node-id] alias port port-name [node id LAN-address]
The first node in the OpenVMS cluster to create an alias port for
a particular alias address causes that alias to be created.
Subsequent nodes that create an alias port for the same alias
establish connections (ports) to that alias. The alias becomes
active when the first node enables its alias port for that alias.
The Node Id argument is optional. It is a LAN address used to
build the Alias node NSAP.
Example:
create alias port dec:.lkg.bulean node id aa-00-04-00-45-13
