[Info-vax] removing a node completely

Due to some typos etc (not related to satellite questions in another 
thread) I removed a newly created node with CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN.COM on 
all 3 nodes in the cluster.  I then re-created it, on only one node, but
with another name.  When booting, the MOP download was successful but 
the console hangs.  On another node (the one that served the MOP 
download and also, presumably coincidentally, the boot server), there is 
a console message saying "Remote System Conflicts with Known System".  
So, presumably, using CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN.COM with the "remove node" 
option doesn't actually remove everything.  Interestingly, after running 
it on one node I got "The configuration procedure has completed 
successfully" but on others I got:

    The following error occurred when accessing the LANCP boot server database:

   %LANCP-E-NODENFND, Node not found in LAN node database, node !AC

   Please correct the error and reinvoke this procedure.

My guess is that running it on the first node removed it from the LANCP 
database hence the error on the other two nodes.  On the other hand, I 
didn't set up any cluster-wise LANCP database (is this even possible) so 
am a bit puzzled by this.

How can I see what addresses are known to LANCP?  How can I remove them?
