I honestly do not like "имя узла" (node name) as translation for "host
name". "Node" has rather different semantic. And you should chose either
"node name" or "machine name" but do not use them interchangeably. "Host
name" is pretty much an idiom, not descriptive text.

I would rather prefer "имя системы" (system name) in this case.

Whatever it is, it is not "Miraculous" :) In this context it means free
form system description (comment). Russian equivalent would be
"Описание компьютера" or "Описание системы" (system description),
depending on how "host name" is translated to be consistent.
