HELPLIB.HLB  —  LANCP  DEFINE  NODE
    Enters a node into the LAN permanent node database or modifies an
    existing entry. Requires SYSPRV privilege.

                                QUALIFIERS

       See the SET NODE command for a list of qualifiers and the
       description of each. Except where noted, the only difference
       is that DEFINE NODE applies to entries in the LAN permanent
       node database rather than the volatile node database.

    Format

      DEFINE NODE  node-name

1  –  Parameter

 node-name

    Supplies the name of a node to be added to the LAN permanent node
    database or an entry to be modified. Typically, the node name is
    the same as that given in the system parameter SCSNODE, but it
    does not need to be. The node name is limited to 63 characters in
    length.

2  –  Examples

    1.LANCP> DEFINE NODE GALAXY/ADDRESS=08-00-2B-11-22-33 -
                        /FILE=APB.EXE -
                        /ROOT=$64$DIA14:<SYS10.> -
                        /BOOT_TYPE=ALPHA_SATELLITE

      This command sets up node GALAXY for booting as an Alpha
      satellite into an OpenVMS Cluster.

      The APB.EXE file is actually located on $64$DIA14:
      <SYS10.SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE>. Note that the <SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE> is
      supplied by the LANACP LAN Server process and is not included
      in the root definition.

    2.LANCP> DEFINE NODE CALPAL/ADDRESS=08-00-2B-11-22-33 -
                        /FILE=APB_061.EXE

      This command sets up node CALPAL for booting an InfoServer
      image. It defines the file that should be loaded when a load
      request without a file name is received from node CALPAL.

      Because the file does not include a directory specification,
      the logical name LAN$DLL defines where to locate the file. You
      could give directory specification using the file name or by
      using the /ROOT qualifier.

      Note that specifying the file name explicitly in the boot
      command overrides the file name specified in the node database
      entry.
