Description
themselves. For this reason, slot names and slot priorities can be
added or changed whether or not servers are present in the slots.
When a server is moved to a different chassis, it inherits the slot name and
priority assigned to the slot it occupies in the new chassis. The previous slot
name and priority remain with the previous chassis.
NOTE: CMC users with the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege
can configure power settings. However, the Chassis Control
Administrator privilege is required to perform chassis power operations,
including power on, power off, and power cycle.
User can:
• Add a new user.
• Change the password of a user.
• Change the privileges of a user.
• Enable or disable the login privilege of a user but retain the name
and other privileges of the user in the database.
User can clear the hardware log and CMC log.
CMC users with the Chassis Power Administrator privilege can perform all
power-related operations. They can control chassis power operations,
including power on, power off, and power cycle.
NOTE: To configure power settings, the Chassis Configuration
Administrator privilege is needed.
This is a blanket privilege, granting a CMC user all rights to perform any
operation on any servers present in the chassis.
When a user with Server Administrator privilege issues an action to be
performed on a server, the CMC firmware sends the command to the
targeted server without checking the privileges of a user on the server. In
other words, the Server Administrator privilege overrides any lack of
administrator privileges on the server.
Without the Server Administrator privilege, a user created on the chassis
can only execute a command on a server when all of the following conditions
are true:
• The same user name exists on the server.
• The same user name must have the same password on the server.
• The user must have the privilege to execute the command.
When a CMC user who does not have Server Administrator privilege issues
an action to be performed on a server, CMC sends a command to the
targeted server with the user's login name and password. If the user does
not exist on the server, or if the password does not match, the user is denied
the ability to perform the action.
If the user exists on the target server and the password matches, the server
responds with the privileges of which the user was granted on the server.
Based on the privileges responding from the server, CMC firmware decides if
the user has the right to perform the action.
Listed below are the privileges and the actions on the server to which the
Server Administrator is entitled. These rights are applied only when the
