You should never post when a Red Dwarf re-run is on :-)

The console knows nothing about anything really.

If you have OpenVMS on the disk you can boot it such that
it will dawdle in SYCONFIG (or rather, an almost-equivalent)
and have a chat with you and that's where you would
twiddle VAXCLUSTER and friends.
