170 Using the CMC Web Interface
Clear Logs
Administrator
User can clear the hardware log and CMC log.
Chassis Control
Administrator
(Power
Commands)
CMC users with the Chassis Power Administrator privilege can
perform all power-related operations. They can control chassis
power operations, including power on, power off, and power cycle.
NOTE: To configure power settings, the Chassis Configuration
Administrator privilege is needed.
Server
Administrator
This is a blanket privilege, granting a CMC user all rights to
perform any operation on any servers present in the chassis.
When a user with Server Administrator privilege issues an action
to be performed on a server, the CMC firmware sends the
command to the targeted server without checking the user's
privileges on the server. In other words, the Server Administrator
privilege overrides any lack of administrator privileges on the
server.
Without the Server Administrator privilege, a user created on the
chassis can only execute a command on a server when all of the
following conditions are true:
• The same user name exists on the server.
• The same user name must have the same password on the server.
• The user must have the privilege to execute the command.
When a CMC user who does not have Server Administrator
privilege issues an action to be performed on a server, CMC sends
a command to the targeted server with the user’s login name and
password. If the user does not exist on the server, or if the
password does not match, the user is denied the ability to perform
the action.
If the user exists on the target server and the password matches,
the server responds with the privileges of which the user was
granted on the server. Based on the privileges responding from
the server, CMC firmware decides if the user has the right
to perform the action.
