RDF System Management Manual for J-series and H-series RVUs (RDF 1.10)
Enter the next RDFscan function you want: HELP INTRO
In response, RDFSCAN displays:
RDFSCAN is a utility for quickly scanning the RDFLOG file. When you run
RDFSCAN it calculates the last-record-number and displays it for you.
You can then selectively list (display) various portions of the file.
You can set the "current-record-pointer" via AT number.
Then you can LIST count records in the file starting
at number. The current-record pointer will be incremented
as you display records so that you can continue listing records
.
.
.
The display continues for a total of 44 lines. If the text extends beyond the last line of your terminal
screen, RDFSCAN allows you to continue paging through the display by responding Y to the
prompt:
MORE HELP ( [Y] or N) ?
Performing Routine Operational Tasks
Through RDFCOM and RDFSCAN, you can perform many different RDF functions. Among these
are the routine operational tasks that system operators do from day-to-day. These routine tasks
include:
• Displaying current configuration attributes and operating statistics
• Changing configuration attributes
• Reading RDF messages
Other specialized tasks are described throughout the manual.
Displaying Current Operating Statistics and Configuration Information
While RDF is running, you can obtain both a display of your current RDF configuration and relevant
operating statistics that pertain to each configured entity by issuing the RDFCOM STATUS RDF
command. This can also be obtained if you are using ASAP ( see Appendix E (page 480)). The
display returned by the RDFCOM STATUS RDF command is as follows:
]STATUS RDF
In response, RDF displays:

In the STATUS RDF display, the first line gives the name of the primary system (\RDF04 in this
example), the name of the backup system (\RDF05 in this example), and the timestamp that shows
