NAME

rvdsetm − set operations message on Remote Virtual Disk (RVD) server

SYNOPSIS

/usr/ibm/rvdsetm [ −d ] [ −r ] [ −f ] server [ message ]

DESCRIPTION

Rvdsetm sets the operations message on the RVD server host server. The −d flag enables debugging.  If the flag −r is given, the message is cleared; otherwise, the message is taken as the argument (if supplied), or read from standard input.  The −f flag inhibits prompting for the operations password.  This is useful when running rvdsetm in a script, before a “require_authorization” operation has been performed on the server. 

The purpose of these messages is to notify users of changes in RVD service.  A sample message might be:

New release of /usr tonight.
Reboot your machine to get the latest and greatest!

or

Jinx going down tonight 20h00 to 21h00 for
preventive maintenance.
