It's not in the cluster. Of course, it doesn't boot, either...

I HAS booted, and loaded LAA as well. LAA loooked at the world and
told you it sucks...

The load parameter you pass is the local root that THAT node sees,
from that node, not from the boot server. LAA uses MSCP btw so you
have to have an MSCP server or a local attacked drive.

Okay, I have the system set up as follows:

Remote node = 1.499 (OFFICE)

Hardware address = 08-00-2B-2A-22-F8
Load file = VMB.EXE
Load Assist Agent = SYS$SHARE:NISCS_LAA.EXE
Load Assist Parameter = DISK$VMS062:<SYS11.>

But when I attempt to boot, I get:

%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 8-FEB-2005 17:22:45.11 %%%%%%%%%%%

I have a VAX running VMS V5.5. I have a second system disk that I'd
like to "serve" to another VAX so it can network boot. But I don't
want it to cluster with the boot server.

I can do this with LANCP in VMS 6.x with DECnet-Plus (pardon the
wrap):

$ MCR LANCP
set node X /addr=08-00-02-xx-xx-xx /file=niscs_load.exe
/root=DISK2:[SYS0.]

However, I can't seem to find the corresponding incantation for VMS
5.5 with DECnet (IV, non-Plus).

Under VMS 7.x Alpha, DECnet IV, it's

$ mc ncp
set node x hard add 08-00-02-xx-xx-xx
set node x load file APB.EXE
set node x load assist agent SYS$SHARE:NISCS_LAA.EXE
set node x load assist param DISK2:<SYS0.>
def node x hard add 08-00-02-xx-xx-xx
def node x load file APB.EXE
def node x load assist agent SYS$SHARE:NISCS_LAA.EXE
def node x load assist param DISK2:<SYS0.>
$!

4 parameters, including 2 executables.

I can't even remember whether there was LANCP in V5.5 ....
However NCP has similar capabilities, for a VXT1200 the entry is:

$ mc ncp -
set node indium service circuit ewa0 hardware address 08-00-2b-xx-xx-xx -
load file VXT$LIBRARY:VXT.SYS

Can't remember the proper incantations for a VAX but this should get you
going.
IIRC a VAX also nees a secondary loader (VMB.EXE), right?
