4.1.2 Partition administrators

Partition administrators also use the interface of the System Console Software to manage
the hardware of the partition. They have access to the hardware console of the partition
assigned to them and are authorized to switch the partition on/off. They do not have rights
to any other partitions.
Two partition administrator logins are configured by default for the two platform types:
bs2admin for all BS2000 partitions present
soladmin for all Solaris partitions that may be present
A login is configured for the partition administrator. This login is a member of the following
SMC user groups:
clmon (this is a group with monitoring rights for all partitions of the server)
In all partition administration groups which belong to the platform type concerned (each
group has administration rights for the partition assigned to it)
In addition the login is a member of the secondary user group wsauser which provides
authorization to administer PRIMEPOWER ServerView.
Partition administration groups correspond one-to-one to server partitions. A user regis-
tered in this group has the rights needed for managing the partition and can carry out input
and output operations on the RC2000 console of the partition.
In the as-supplied status a partition administrator login has read/write access to all applica-
tions of PRIMEPOWER ServerView of the nodes on the platform type concerned.
To configure further partition administrator logins, the following actions are necessary:
1. Configure the login with PRIMEPOWER ServerView in the user group clmon:
