Service Processor Accounts and Access Levels
To access the service processor interface for a server complex, you must
have a user account that enables you to login to the service processor.
Each server complex has its own set of service processor user accounts,
which are defined for the server complex and may differ from accounts on
other complexes.
Service processor user accounts have a specific login name, password,
and access level.
The three user account access levels are:
• Administrator Account
Provides access to all commands, and access to all nPartition
consoles and Virtual Front Panels.
Can manage user accounts (using the Command menu SO command)
and can reconfigure various service processor settings.
• Operator Account
Provides access to a subset of commands, and access to all nPartition
consoles and Virtual Front Panels.
Can reconfigure the service processor.
• Single Partition User Account
Provides access to a restricted subset of commands, and access to a
single nPartition’s console and a single nPartition’s Virtual Front
Panel.
Can only execute commands that affect the assigned nPartition.
Cannot execute commands that could potentially affect multiple
nPartitions or affect the service processor configuration.
Each user account can permit multiple concurrent login sessions (if it is
a “multiple use” account), or restrict account access to a single login
session (for “single use” accounts).
