4.1.1 Server administrator

The administrator of the server manages the entire server and the system console.
The administrator has root access to the system console. This root authorization allows the
administrator to use all available functions of the SCS. For basic security reasons, however,
only the following actions should be performed:
– Configuring the system console (generally this is not necessary since the console has
been configured ex works)
– Adding, modifying and deleting partition administrators (where required)
– Configuring the SMC as an installation server
– Configuring and modifying server names for partitions
A login with the name sxadmin is configured by default for the server administrator. This login
is a member of the following user groups:
– cladmin (a group defined by the System Console Software with administration authori-
zation for the server).
Users in this group have administrative rights for all partitions of the server.
– wsauser as secondary user group (a group for administering PRIMEPOWER
ServerView defined by PRIMEPOWER ServerView)
In the as-supplied status the sxadmin ID has read/write access for all applications of
PRIMEPOWER ServerView and for all nodes of the administration domain.
