Everyone,
 
my apologies, I do have root access and was sudo'd in when launching serversetup.
 
Since I was not making progress with the first error message, I proceeded to remedy the second error message with a reset_ci, that worked in eliminating the second error message.
 
When I tried to turn RFI on again...(from serversetup) it did not produce errors.
 
Executing 'Set options for netmon daemon' ...
 
Working...
Updated /usr/OV/lrf/netmon.lrf
Stopping netmon...
Starting netmon...
 
Operation has completed
 
# ps -ef | grep netmon

ovsuf is designed to be read by ovspmd when he starts and stops daemons. It is RO to prevent tampering but if you have root access then you can still write to it, which is why you need root access when you run Server Setup. Since the NetView daemons run with root authority it was decided long ago not to allow people without root access to alter them.

Working as designed.
