Functions of the Solaris-CDE interface System administration of BS2000 and Solaris (optional)

3.2 System administration of BS2000 and Solaris (optional)

In the case of SX servers (not entry-level models) you must access the partitions in order

to be able to administer the operating systems in the individual partitions. This is provided

on the one hand by the consoles of the partitions supplied on the system management

console (SMC) of RC2000, and on the other by the network access of the SMC via the

administration LAN of the server.

In the case of the entry-level models, you access the partitions from the local console on

which you logged on directly to the system.

The administration of BS2000 systems requires access to the BS2000 console and a

BS2000 dialog access. Here access is provided via preconfigured X2000 user IDs in the

system.

For the sake of simplicity and increased operating security, the CDE user interface is

configured so that it is possible to call the individual instances at a mouse click.

This has already been done in the factory for the predefined user IDs sxadmin (server

administration of all the SX servers), bs2admin (BS2000 administration; not for the entry-

level models) and soladmin (Solaris administration; only if a Solaris partition is available).

In the case of the SX servers, except for the entry-level model, icons are set up on the SMC,

under these user IDs, for access to the Solaris partitions (only in the case of the identifi-

cation sxadmin), for the BS2000 console, for the BS2000 dialog and for PRIMEPOWER

ServerView of the BS2000 partition. The functions for hardware administration are provided

by the system console software on the SMC (see chapter “Functions of the System

Management Console” on page 43).

In the case of the entry-level models, icons are set, under the user ID sxadmin, for access

to the BS2000 console, to the BS2000 dialog, to PRIMEPOWER ServerView and to the

hardware administration with the machine administration menu.

In the next section a description is given of how these CDE actions (e.g. for further user-

specific IDs) can be set up or modified.
