Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris Administrator's Guide
After administrators are registered, they can make queries
and request command-line help. To perform other server functions, they
must be granted authority by being assigned one or more administrative
privilege classes.
This section describes the privilege classes. An administrator with
system privilege can perform any server function. Administrators with
policy, storage, operator, or analyst privileges can perform subsets of server
functions.
An administrator with system privilege can perform any of the
following server administrative tasks.
System responsibilities
- Define or delete policy domains and storage pools
- Import or export data from the server
- Cancel administrative background processes
- Set operating parameters for the server
- Perform license audits
- Cancel client restartable restore sessions
- Move sequential access storage pool media
- Begin logging events to a receiver
- Create a full backup set from a client node's latest active files
|
Set up enterprise management
- Create or delete a target server to a source server
- Set and manage server configuration managers
- Define and manage server groups and group members
- Define and manage server profiles
- Test the connection between the local server and a specified remote server
|
Manage TSM security
- Register or remove administrators
- Manage administrators
- Grant or revoke all levels of administrative authority
- Lock or unlock administrators from the server
- Manage TSM passwords and logins
|
An administrator with unrestricted policy
privilege can manage the backup and archive services for client nodes
assigned to any policy domain.
When new policy domains are defined to the server, an administrator with
unrestricted policy privilege is automatically authorized to manage the new
policy domains.
An administrator with unrestricted policy privilege can perform the
following tasks:
Manage TSM nodes
- Register client nodes in any policy domain
- Manage any client node access to the server
- Delete any client node files from storage pools
- Create a full backup set from a client node's latest active files
|
Manage TSM policy
- Manage policy objects within any policy domain
Note: | System privilege is required to copy, define, or delete the policy domains
themselves.
|
|
Manage TSM schedules
- Manage schedules that automatically back up or archive files
- Associate client nodes to schedules defined in the same policy domain
|
An administrator with restricted policy privilege can perform
the same operations as an administrator with unrestricted policy privilege
but only for specified policy domains.
An administrator with unrestricted storage privilege has the
authority to manage the database, recovery log, and all storage pools.
An administrator with unrestricted storage privilege can perform the
following tasks:
Manage the TSM database and recovery logs
- Create database or recovery log volumes
- Extend or reduce the size of the database or recovery log
- Create mirrored copy sets of the database or recovery log
- Delete database or recovery log volumes
|
Manage TSM devices
- Manage disk and tape device classes
|
Manage TSM storage pool volumes
- Create volumes for any disk or tape storage pools
- Move data from a storage pool to any other storage pool
- Delete volumes from any storage pool
Note: | However, an administrator with unrestricted storage privilege cannot define
or delete storage pools.
|
- Audit volumes belonging to any storage pool
- Move sequential access storage pool media
|
Administrators with restricted storage privilege can manage only
those storage pools to which they are authorized. They cannot manage
the database or recovery log.
For those authorized storage pools, administrators with restricted storage
privilege can:
Manage storage pool volumes
- Create volumes to the storage pools
- Move data from one volume to another in a storage pool
- Delete volumes from the storage pools
- Audit volumes belonging to the storage pools
|
Administrators with operator privilege control the immediate
operation of the server and the availability of storage media.
An administrator with operator privilege can perform the following
tasks:
Manage the TSM server
- Disable the server to prevent clients from accessing the server
- Enable the server for access by clients
- Halt the server, when necessary
|
Manage TSM sessions
- Cancel client/server sessions
- Cancel client restartable restore sessions
|
Manage tape operations
- Vary disk volumes on or off line to perform maintenance
- Reset the error status for tape volumes
- Manage tape mounts
|
An administrator with analyst privilege can issue commands that
reset the counters that track server statistics.
