Look at SYSMAN

$ mcr sysman set env /node=<nodename>

This assumes that your username is the same on the remote host, if not
then add "/user=<Remote_username>"

It will then prompt you for the password for the remote node user.

once accepted, you will get a SYSMAN> prompt.    You can now execute
(pretty much) any DCL command by prefixing it with "do", e.g.

SYSMAN> do show time

will give you the time on the remote node.
