How to translate a node number to a database/table
If dbfsck reports a inconsistency in your database environment
it provides a node id instead of a name.
This can be translated to a symbolic name by the use of dbdumpcat.
dbdumpcat -t20 provides a list of all nodes in the database
environment along with an associated name.
 
For example: 
/opt/eloquence6/bin/dbdumpcat -h ntserv -s 8800 -t20
 
contacts the server "ntserv" at port 8800 to ask for its sysobjects.
