Managing Serviceguard Fifteenth Edition, reprinted May 2008

Building an HA Cluster Configuration
Configuring the Cluster
Chapter 5242
— (single-package) Package Admin: Allowed to perform package
administration for a specified package, and use cluster and
package view commands.
These users can run and halt a specified package, and change its
switching behavior, but cannot configure or create packages. This
is the only access role defined in the package configuration file;
the others are defined in the cluster configuration file.
Single-package Package Admin also includes the cluster-wide
privileges of the Monitor role.
— Monitor: Allowed to perform cluster and package view
operations.
These users have read-only access to the cluster and its
packages.
IMPORTANT A remote user (one who is not logged in to a node in the cluster, and
is not connecting via rsh or ssh) can have only Monitor access to the
cluster.
(Full Admin and Package Admin can be configured for such a user,
but this usage is deprecated and in a future release may cause
cmapplyconf and cmcheckconf to fail. In Serviceguard A.11.18
configuring Full Admin or Package Admin for remote users gives
them Monitor capabilities. See “Setting up Access-Control Policies”
for more information.)
