OVO GUI Startup Message Considerations
Before you create the OVO GUI startup message, consider the following
points:
❏ Customizations
The startup message is defined and enabled after the OVO
installation.
You must be user root to customize, edit, or change the status of the
OVO GUI startup message.
❏ Database storage
The startup message is stored in the opc_mgmt_config table in the
attribute ovou_license_text. Refer to the OVO Reporting and
Database Schema for details about the database tables.
❏ Motif GUI restart session
It you select Restart Session in the Motif GUI, the startup
message does not display, because the OVO management server is
the same as it was before you restarted the session.
To Create the OVO GUI Startup Message
To create the OVO GUI startup message, perform the following steps:
1. Write your own message in a text editor and save it.
The length of the message must not exceed 2048 single byte or 1024
multi byte characters.
To ensure that the startup message is displayed correctly in the
startup message window, pay attention to the line fields in the text
editor while writing the message.
2. Use the opcuistartupmsg command line tool to store the customized
startup message in the database and to enable it:
opcuistartupmsg -f -e
For more information about the opcuistartupmsg tool, see the
opcuistartupmsg(1M) man page.
To display the current startup message and its status, use
opcuistartupmsg or opcuistartupmsg -s.
