DECnet-Plus MOP and missing directory?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Do you know about the following problem ?
HW: Alpha Server 1200
SW: OpenVMS 7.1, DECNet Plus V7.1
 
When MOP is enabled, but the directory SYS$COMMON:[DECSERVER] does not
exist, the system crashes during boot with a fatal bugcheck.
 
Is there any fix for this problem ?
 
The reason for having MOP enabled, but no SYS$COMMON:[DECSERVER] directory
is that we have an alternate loadhost for the decservers, but we want to do
SET HOST/MOP on the Alpha.
 
Regards, Albert

The Answer is :

 
  Please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center to report this.
 
  As an obvious workaround, create the directory and/or reconfigure
  DECnet MOP to use another (existing) directory.
 
  Alternatively, use LANCP for MOP operations and disable DECnet MOP.
