Users must
be authorized in HP SIM in order to run the VSE Management Software
tools. To configure user authorizations, you must be logged into HP
SIM as a user with Full Configuration Rights. Refer to mxuser(1M) for information about viewing and setting configuration
rights. Choose Options SecurityUsers and Authorizations from
the HP SIM menu bar. Use the tabs to view and change the toolbox authorizations
for each user. For detailed information about creating and updating
authorizations, refer to the HP SIM online help. The following
table defines the authorization provided by each of the toolboxes
associated with the VSE Management Software. The sections that follow
present examples showing how to configure authorizations based on
the user's role. | | | |  | NOTE: If your CMS is also a managed system, then any authorizations
required on managed systems will also be required on the CMS. | | | | |
Role: VSE Operator, VSE Application Administrator, or VSE Capacity
Planner | |
With these authorizations, you can view all Integrity
and HP 9000 servers in the management domain. You can examine the
configuration of all managed systems through Virtualization Manager,
Partition Manager, Application Discovery, and Virtual Machines Manager.
You can define and view a logical server using Virtualization Manager.
You can view real-time application data through Application Discovery,
real-time and historical data through gWLM, and historical data through
Capacity Advisor. You cannot make any configuration changes to the
managed systems or Application Discovery components, or edit Capacity
Advisor data with the Profile Editor. Role: VSE System Administrator | |
These authorizations provide all of the capabilities
of the VSE Operator role but also allow you to change the configuration
of specific managed systems. On systems authorized with the All Tools
toolbox, you can perform all of the following functions: Create, modify, and delete nPartitions, virtual machines,
and gWLM shared resource domains. Install software and perform other system administration
tasks offered through HP SIM.
To specify the subset of systems that are authorized
with All Tools, refer to “Selecting and Updating the Authorized Systems Set”. Role: VSE Senior System Administrator | |
These authorizations provide all of the capabilities
of the VSE System Administrator role. In addition, the VSE All Tools
authorization on the CMS allows you to perform all of the following
functions: Create, modify, and delete gWLM policies. Delete parked
workloads. A workload is “parked” if its
container assignment is set to None -- Park the workload in the Monitored Workload Definition Properties screen. Parking a workload allows you to retain its collected data
while waiting to migrate the workload to a new system. Perform operations on logical servers, including activate,
copy, create, deactivate, delete, drop, import, modify, or move a
logical server, and manage logical server storage pools. Manipulate Application Discovery
agent behavior and modify application template matching and event
reporting.
To specify the subset of systems that are authorized
with All Tools, refer to “Selecting and Updating the Authorized Systems Set”. Role: VSE Senior Capacity Planner | |
These authorizations provide all of the capabilities
of the VSE Operator role. In addition, the Capacity Advisor authorization
on the CMS allows you to edit and delete profile data. Role: Legacy Global Workload Manager Operator | |
This authorization is maintained for backward
compatibility with gWLM version 1. This user is able to view
real-time and historical reports for any system in the data center
that is managed by gWLM version A.01.x.
This user is not authorized to use Virtualization Manager, Partition
Manager, Virtual Machines Manager, or Capacity Advisor. Because this
authorization cannot be restricted to specific managed systems, HP
recommends using the other authorizations described earlier, which
provide more granular host-based authorization. Role: Legacy Global Workload Manager Administrator | |
This authorization is maintained for backward

any system in the data center with gWLM version A.01.x, but is not authorized to use Virtualization Manager,

Because this authorization cannot be restricted to specific managed
systems, HP recommends using the other authorizations described earlier,
which provide more granular host-based authorization. Selecting and Updating the Authorized Systems Set | |
When you create an HP SIM authorization, you
can select the individual authorized systems, or you can specify a
named collection of systems. If the authorization is based on a named
collection, it will be applied to the systems that are currently in
that collection when the authorization is created. If additional systems
are later added to that collection or removed from it, you should
update the authorization to match the changed collection. Use the following procedure to update a user's
authorizations: Choose OptionsSecurityUsers and Authorizations from the HP SIM
menu bar. Select
the Authorizations tab. Select
an authorization that was based on a named collection and click Update. Confirm that you want to make the indicated changes
by clicking Update Contents.
For detailed information about creating and updating
authorizations, refer to the HP SIM online help. |
