LAN$POPULATE extracts all MOP booting information from a DECnet Phase
IV NETNODE_REMOTE.DAT file or from the output of the DECnet–Plus
NCL command SHOW MOP CLIENT * ALL.
For DECnet Phase IV sites, the LAN$POPULATE procedure scans all
DECnet areas (1–63) by default. If you MOP boot systems from only a single
or a few DECnet areas, you can cause the LAN$POPULATE procedure to
operate on a single area at a time by providing the area number as the P1
parameter to the procedure, as shown in the following example (including
log):
$ @SYS$EXAMPLES:LAN$POPULATE 15
LAN$POPULATE - V1.0
Do you want help (Y/N) :
LAN$DEFINE.COM has been successfully created.
To apply the node definitions to the LANCP permanent database,
invoke the created LAN$DEFINE.COM command procedure.
Compaq recommends that you review LAN$DEFINE.COM and remove any
obsolete entries prior to executing this command procedure.
A total of 2 MOP definitions were entered into LAN$DEFINE.COM
5. Run LAN$DEFINE.COM to populate LAN$NODE_DATABASE.
LAN$DEFINE populates the LANCP downline loading information
into the LAN node database, SYS$COMMON:[SYSEVE]LAN$NODE_
DATABASE.DAT file. Compaq recommends that you review
LAN$DEFINE.COM and remove any obsolete entries before executing
it.
In the following sequence, the LAN$DEFINE.COM procedure that was just
created is displayed on the screen and then executed:
$ TYPE LAN$DEFINE.COM

The following example shows a LAN$DEFINE.COM command procedure
that was generated by LAN$POPULATE for migration from DECnet–Plus to
LANCP.
