Chapter 8. Managing Tivoli Storage Manager
285
8.1.2 Considerations
Creating an administrator is a two-step process:
1. Define the administrator ID.
2. Grant the necessary privileges.
The
register admin
command explicitly creates an administrator ID with certain
defined privileges. If an administrator with the same name as the client node
already exists during registration of a new node, then this administrator ID is
automatically updated to grant owner access to it. You can use the optional
CONTACT parameter to distinguish administrators.
The
grant authority
command grants the necessary privileges to an
administrator. The only required parameters are the administrator name and the
privileges being granted. You can reduce an administrator's authority by revoking
one or more privilege classes and granting other classes as needed.
The
query admin
command displays information about one or more administrators.
Any administrator can issue this command.
8.1.3 Default environment
During the initial server installation, Tivoli Storage Manager defines two
administrator IDs automatically, SERVER_CONSOLE and ADMIN.
SERVER_CONSOLE
SERVER_CONSOLE allows you to administer the server after Tivoli Storage
Manager is installed. At installation, the SERVER_CONSOLE ID is automatically
registered as an administrator and given system authority. You can use the
SERVER_CONSOLE ID to issue administrative commands.
When the server is started in interactive mode (or foreground), typically with the
dsmserv
command, a server console is started with a command prompt running
with the assigned authority of the SERVER_CONSOLE ID. This is in contrast to
running the server in background mode, either as a Windows service or under
UNIX using the
nohup
command. In that case, no command prompt is presented.
In an emergency situation, administrative commands can be issued from the
server console to correct situations, such as forgotten administrator passwords
and locked IDs. This assumes your server console runs in a secure environment.
If you cannot secure your server console from unauthorized access, you should
revoke the privilege of the SERVER_CONSOLE ID, perhaps to analyst. If you do
this, you must first define at least one other new administrator ID with system
privilege. We do not recommend reducing the SERVER_CONSOLE privileges,
