mop_mom(8)
NAME
mop_mom − MOP down-line/up-line load listener
SYNTAX
/etc/mop_mom
DESCRIPTION
The mop_mom listens for down-line load and up-line dump requests on behalf of your local ULTRIX node. The mop_mom command is usually included in the /etc/rc.local file as a backround task. When a down-line load or up-line dump request is received from a target node, mop_mom spawns the loader, mop_dumpload, to process the load request. The following minimum criteria must be met for mop_dumpload to accept and process a load request:
The Ethernet physical address of the target node must be specified in the nodes database entry for the requesting target node. For further information, see addnode(8).
The loader must be given the name of the image file to down-line load. If the image file name is specified in a target node’s down-line load request, then the loader uses that file. Otherwise, the file name must be defined in the requesting node’s database entry. For further information, see addnode(8). If an absolute pathname is not associated with the image file name, the primary default path, /usr/lib/mop, is used. If the image file is not in /usr/lib/mop, the secondary default, /usr/lib/dnet, is used. The names of the files in /usr/lib/dnet must be in lowercase with a .sys extension.
The loader must be given the name of the dump file that will contain the up-line dump image of the requesting node’s memory. The dump file name must be defined in the requesting node’s database entry. For further information, see addnode(8).
