Table 1–7 (Cont.): BOOT Command Qualifiers
Qualifier Function
This qualifier is used when multiple unit numbers must be spec-
ified: for example, when booting from VMS shadow sets. If /
R3 is specified, the unit number portion of the device name is ig-
nored.
/N[ODE]:number Specifies the remote node(s) that provide access to the boot de-
vice. The /XMI (and optionally /BI) qualifiers must have iden-
tified a controller that supports "nodes" such as a VAXclus-
ter adapter. The /NODE qualifier would then specify the VAX-
cluster node number(s) of the HSC controlling the boot de-
vice.
/B[I]:number Specifies a VAXBI node that connects the boot device. The /
XMI qualifier must have selected a node containing a DWMBB/
A.
/FILE[NAME]:file Specifies the filename used to boot from an Ethernet-based server.
The filename may be 1 to 16 characters in length.
