Introducing PAM Domain Management Tools
The Bull NovaScale 5000 Series server is designed to operate as a single SMP system and
is delivered with one pre–configured domain englobing all the hardware and software
resources managed by the Operating System.
The PAM Domain Manager is at the heart of server operation. Customer Administrators
and Operators have equal access rights to Domain Manager functions and the Control
pane will be frequently used during normal operation. The Domain Manager Control pane
gives access to all domain commands and domain details.
To access the Domain Manager Control pane, open the <root> node in the PAM tree and
click Domain Manager.
