bhosts <single hostname@remote_clustername>

In a multi-cluster environment,
bhosts does not support specifying single hostname of remote cluster.

projectjiwoo@vwpm224ev16 ~ % bhosts hpcmgr0007
hpcmgr0007: Bad host name, host group name or cluster name

If we run bhosts <single hostname@remote_clustername>, the output information is incorrect.
The command succeeds as shown below, but incorrect information is displayed.
projectjiwoo@vwpm224ev16 ~ % bhosts hpcmgr0007@mcr3
HOST_NAME          STATUS       JL/U    MAX  NJOBS    RUN  SSUSP  USUSP    RSV 
hpcmgr0007@mcr3    ok              -      -      0      0      0      0      0

Below is the correct information.
projectjiwoo@vwpm224ev16 ~ % bhosts -w mcr3
HOST_NAME          STATUS          JL/U    MAX  NJOBS    RUN  SSUSP  USUSP    RSV 
hpcmgr0007         ok              -     16      1      1      0      0      0

We could use bhosts with remote cluster name to show remote host:  bhosts <remote_cluster>
However, it would be nice if we could see the bhosts information with a single host name.
