There is no "mop running". what you have to do is basically set up the
system so that if it sees a boot request (MOP load) that is knows the
MAC address of the requestor and the image to down load (sysboot). Once
sysboot is running it switches to DECNET and if everything is set right
the needed files can be accessed and boot will occur. You have the option
of running as a full cluster member (LAVC) or you can run as a diskless
client. The difference is mostly management and handeling client privs.

I've used mop to run standalone backup (STABACKIT) from the host rather
than boot VMS and use backup to copy the image to the target disk. Of
course if there is no target disk then boot VMS.
