LANCP, TRIGGER, NODE

 *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Issues a request to reboot to a remote node.

    Rather than specify the format to send MOP Version 3 or 4, the
    LANCP utility sends one message in each format to the target
    node.

    Format

      TRIGGER NODE  node-specification

  1 - Parameter

 node-specification

    Supplies either the node name or the node address of the target
    node. If you supply the node name, the node address is obtained
    by looking up the node name in the LAN volatile node database. If
    you supply the node address, the corresponding node need not be
    defined in the LAN volatile node database. The canonical form of
    the address consists of 6 hexadecimal byte characters separated
    by hyphens. Use a colon as the separator character to indicate
    the bit-reversed form of the address.

  2 - Qualifiers

 2.1 - /DEVICE

       /DEVICE=device-name

    Specifies the LAN controller device name to be used for sending
    the trigger boot messages. For example, you can specify a DEMNA
    controller as EXA, EXA0 or EXA0:.

 2.2 - /PASSWORD

       /PASSWORD=16hexdigits

    Supplies the password to be used when the connection
    is initiated, in hexadecimal (for example,
    /PASSWORD=0123456789ABCDEF). The default password is zero. You
    can omit leading zeros.

  3 - Examples

    1.LANCP> TRIGGER NODE GALAXY/DEVICE=EWA0

      This command sends MOP trigger boot messages to node GALAXY
      using Ethernet device EWA0.

    2.LANCP> TRIGGER NODE 08-00-2B-11-22-33/DEVICE=EWA0/PASSWORD=0123456789AB

      This command sends MOP trigger boot messages to the given
      node address using the Ethernet device EWA0, with indicated
      password.
