Oooops....
Hi Volker I followed the instructions. Unfotunately I executed them at a different node since I was working remotely. So now I have two problems
The node (SC4238) on which I executed this has lost network connectivity and I am not able to modify the connectivity of the required node (Salsa- which still doesn't have connection).
To be more clear I have the session when I was by mistake on SC4238 node and executed the
$@tcpip$config
Core Environmnet ->Interface -> Exit to go to device EIA0
Pasted below as well as attached as text.

Start of configuration questions for Internet interface IE0.
IE0 is the Ethernet device EIA0:
Interface: IE0
IP_Addr: 192.168.1.211 NETWRK: 255.255.255.0 BRDCST: 192.168.1.255
C_Addr: C_NETWRK: C_BRDCST:
Flags: DHCP
Receive buffer: 0
HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Interface IE0 Reconfiguration Menu
Reconfiguration options:
1 - Configure interface manually
2 - Let DHCP configure interface (Current default)
[E] - Exit menu (Do not reconfigure interface IE0)
Enter configuration option: 1
Enter fully qualified host name: salsa.bidmc.harvard.edu
Host salsa.bidmc.harvard.edu exists in the database.
salsa.bidmc.harvard.edu is an alias for salsa.
Enter Internet address [10.35.221.122]:
Enter Internet network mask for salsa.bidmc.harvard.edu [255.0.0.0]: 255.255.255
.128
Enter broadcast mask for salsa.bidmc.harvard.edu [10.35.221.127]:
The following parameters will be used to define the
Internet interface IE0:
Host name: salsa.bidmc.harvard.edu
Internet address: 10.35.221.122
Network mask: 255.255.255.128
Broadcast mask: 10.35.221.127
* Is the above correct [YES]:
failSAFE IP
failSAFE IP uses multiple Network Interface Controllers
(NICs) to provide high availability of IP addresses.
In the event of a NIC failure, (e.g. any event
preventing the NIC from receiving data), all IP
addresses associated with the failed NIC are reassigned
to a preconfigured failover target.
In a cluster configuration, the IP address may be
preconfigured on NICs across other cluster members.
This provides cluster-wide failover for the IP address.
See the management guide for more configuration options.
You will be asked what other NICs on this node will
act as failover targets.
* Configure failover target for failSAFE IP [NO]:
End of configuration questions for Internet interface IE0
This CPU is a member of a VMScluster.
You may specify that the Internet interface(s) on this
CPU will participate in an Internet VMScluster.
An Internet VMScluster can be configured so that all
cluster members appear to remote network hosts as a
single virtual host.
The Internet VMScluster is identified by its cluster
host name and address, and must be activated on each
of the hosts that are members of the Internet
VMScluster.
* Define Internet VMScluster [NO]:

Now I realized the problem so I went to SALSA (the oringal node with the problem).
However...it now seemed to complain about overwriting IP address...
