Qualifiers

 

/ADDRESS
      /ADDRESS=node-address
      /NOADDRESS (default)

   Associates a LAN address with the node name. Specify the address
   as 6 bytes in hexadecimal notation, separated by hyphens. The
   address does not have to be unique (as might be the case when the
   address is not known, so a nonexistent address is specified).

   If multiple node addresses are to be associated with a node name,
   each combination may be given as a node name with an extension,
   for example, VAXSYS.EXA for the EXA device on node VAXSYS, or
   VAXSYS_1 for the first LAN device on node VAXSYS.

   If you do not specify the /ADDRESS qualifier, the setting remains
   unchanged. The /NOADDRESS qualifier clears the field.
 

/ALL
   Defines data for all nodes in the LAN volatile node database.
   If you specify a node name, all matching nodes are selected; for
   example, A/ALL selects all nodes beginning with A.
 

/BOOT_TYPE
      /BOOT_TYPE=boot-option
      /NOBOOT_TYPE

   Indicates the type of processing required for downline load
   requests. You can specify one of the following keywords with
   this qualifier:

   o  VAX_SATELLITE-a VAX satellite cluster boot

   o  ALPHA_SATELLITE-an Alpha satellite cluster boot

   o  I64_SATELLITE-an OpenVMS Cluster Integrity servers satellite
      boot

   o  OTHER-the specified image; noncluster satellite loads that do
      not require additional data

   The distinction is necessary, because OpenVMS Cluster satellite
   loads require additional cluster-related data be appended to the
   load image given by the /FILE qualifier. The default value is
   OTHER.

   If you do not specify the /BOOT_TYPE qualifier, the setting
   remains unchanged. The /NOBOOT_TYPE qualifier clears the field.

   Note that Integrity server satellites boot using TFTP rather than
   MOP services. This boot type is included so that the information
   in the node database can be maintained, not because it is needed
   for booting purposes.
 

/DECNET_ADDRESS
      /DECNET_ADDRESS=value
      /NODECNET_ADDRESS

   Associates a DECnet address with the node name. Specify the
   address in DECnet notation, xx.xxxx.

   If you do not specify the /DECNET_ADDRESS=value qualifier, then
   the setting remains unchanged. The /NODECNET_ADDRESS qualifier
   clears the field.
 

/FILE
      /FILE=file-spec
      /NOFILE

   Supplies the file name of a boot file to be used when the
   downline load request does not include a file name (for example,
   OpenVMS Cluster satellite booting). The file specification is
   limited to 127 characters.

   If no file name is specified, OpenVMS Cluster satellite loads
   default to APB.EXE where the boot type is set to ALPHA and NISCS_
   LOAD.EXE where the boot type is set to VAX.

   If you do not specify the /FILE qualifier, the setting remains
   unchanged. The /NOFILE qualifier clears the field.
 

/IP_ADDRESS
      /IP_ADDRESS=value
      /NOIP_ADDRESS

   Associates an IP address with the node name. Specify the address
   in the standard dotted notation, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

   If you do not specify the /IP_ADDRESS=value qualifier, the
   setting remains unchanged. The /NOIP_ADDRESS qualifier clears
   the filed.
 

/PERMANENT_DATABASE
      /PERMANENT_DATABASE (SET NODE only)

   Updates the node entries in the LAN volatile node database with
   any data currently set in the permanent database. This allows
   you to update the volatile database after changing data in the
   permanent database, rather than repeating the commands for each
   updated entry to apply the changes to the volatile database.
 

/ROOT
      /ROOT=directory-specification
      /NOROOT

   Supplies the directory specification to be associated with the
   file name. For cluster satellite service, the /ROOT qualifier
   specifies the satellite root directory. For noncluster service,
   this qualifier specifies the location of the file. If the file
   specification or the file name given in the boot request includes
   the directory name, this qualifier is ignored. The directory
   specification is limited to 127 characters.

   If you do not specify the /ROOT qualifier, the setting remains
   unchanged. The /NOROOT qualifier clears the field.
 

/SIZE
      /SIZE=value
      /NOSIZE

   Specifies the size in bytes of the file data portion of each
   downline load message. The default is the load data size
   specified for the device. The permitted range is 246 to 1482
   bytes. Use a larger size for better load performance and less
   server overhead.

   If you do not specify the /SIZE qualifier, the setting remains
   unchanged. The /NOSIZE qualifier clears the setting.
 

/V3
      /V3
      /NOV3

   Indicates that only MOP Version 3 formatted messages are to be
   used for downline load purposes, regardless of the requested
   format. This allows systems to load that have a problem with MOP
   Version 4 booting. This qualifier causes the requesting node to
   fail over from MOP Version 4 to MOP Version 3 when no response
   has been made to a MOP Version 4 load request.

   If you do not specify the /V3 qualifier, the setting remains
   unchanged. The /NOV3 qualifier clears the setting.
 

/VOLATILE_DATABASE
      /VOLATILE_DATABASE (DEFINE NODE only)

   Updates the node entries in the LAN permanent node database with
   any data currently set in the volatile database. This allows
   you to update the permanent database after changing data in the
   volatile database, rather than repeating the commands for each
   updated entry to apply the changes to the permanent database.
