Remote Node Load and Dump Utility

This document provides instructions for using the NETLDR utility on a DECsystem-10. Key topics covered include:

• System Requirements: The user must be logged in as [1,2] with POKE, LOCK, and HPQ privileges.
• Operation: How to manually run the utility and how it automatically executes upon receiving a boot request from a remote node.
• Configuration: The format and usage of the SYS:NETLDR.INI configuration file for node-specific loading and dumping operations.
• Command Syntax: Detailed command formats for triggering loads and dumps using file specifications and various switches (e.g., /DUMP, /LOAD, /NODE, /LINE).
• Error Handling: A guide to interpreting fatal (?) and nonfatal (%) error messages based on three-character codes, and their mapping to source code references.

The document includes a figure illustrating the network topology for loading a remote node and a table of error messages.
