I'm entering NCP from OPR to add node names. However it keeps telling me
"NCP is not running".
That usually happens when NML is not running either because was not started or
because has stopped. Given that you are using a DECnet-enabled monitor, your
SYSTAT should show something like this:
| Status of T10 DECnet node DIECI at 19:30:29 on 05-Oct-113
|
| Uptime 3352:10:38, 5% Null time = 5% Idle + 0% Lost, 0% Overhead

If NML is e.g. in TO state (Terminal Output) that means that it encoutered
some error and is waiting for someone to read it and do something...
NML gets automatically started by ORION, which in turn gets started by QUASAR,
which must be listed in SYS:SYSJOB.INI:
| SET DEFAULT ACCOUNT SYSTEM
| LOG
| FILDAE
| LOG
| ACTDAE
| LOG
| DAEMON
| LOG ;GALAXY JOBS
| QUASAR <--- HERE!
| LOG
| MIC
| NODNAM ;Loads INI:NODNAM.INI then starts MX
