NAME
	  BADNODES.TXT - Diagnostic station: Specifies nodes that are
	  nonfunctional	on a Paragon system.

     SYNOPSIS
	  /usr/paragon/boot/BADNODES.TXT

     DESCRIPTION
	  The BADNODES.TXT file	is on the diagnostic station and con-
	  tains	the list of nodes on a Paragon system that have	failed
	  or are nonfunctional.	The system watchdog updates this file.
	  For information about	the system watchdog, see the fscan
	  manual page.

	  The BADNODES.TXT file	consists of lines that are either
	  bad-node entries or comment lines. A bad node	entry has the
	  following format:

	    CBS-location <watchdog> description

	  The CBS-location is the node address in CBS notation and the
	  description describes	how the	node failed. Information in a
	  bad-node entry is separated by blank spaces. The following
	  example shows	a bad-node entry:

	    00A02 <watchdog> Node failed 3 times

	  This entry specifies that the	bad node is at the CBS loca-
	  tion 00A02 and the node failed three times.

	  A comment begins with	a pound	sign (#). All characters that
	  follow the pound sign	on a line are ignored.

	  The bootpp command reads the BADNODES.TXT file to find which
	  nodes	are bad	nodes, and removes any entries for bad nodes
	  from the bootmagic strings in	the bootmagic file. The	pro-
	  cessor port on a bad node's corresponding MRC	is disabled.
