80 IBM Systems Director Management Console: Introduction and Overview
Configure Access page
Use the Configure Access page to view the status of Remote Service Access
Points (RSAP) on a selected resource. RSAP is a logical address that a system
uses to route data between a remote device and the appropriate
communications support. RSAP credentials incorporate both source and
targeted credentials and mappings between the credentials.
The Access states of individual RSAPs are used to evaluate the overall access
state for the system. If one or more RSAP is in No Access state, then the overall
Access state of the system is Partial Access. The NETC RSAP is used for
accessing the FSP. NETC is an IBM proprietary protocol to connect to an FSP
from a management console.
The POWER6 system has only NETC RSAPs configured. The POWER7 system
has both NETC RSAP and CIM RSAP configured. The Power Unit has only the
NETC RSAP configured.
You can configure access to the individual RSAPs from the Configure Access
page. If different RSAPs have different credentials, you can use this page to
configure each of them. You can also remove RSAPs for a system from this
page. You can use the same FSP access password on both the NETC and CIM
RSAPs. If any one of the RSAPs was in the No Access state, you just have to
request access again.
Revoke Access page
Use this page to remove the connection of SDMC with the system. Use this task
when you are not going to manage the system any longer. Right-click the system
and select Security  Revoke Access to perform this task. The state of the
system changes back to No Access. You have to request access to the system
again if you want to manage the system again.
The Revoke Access task does not remove the system from the SDMC Welcome
page or Navigate Resources page. You have to remove the system from SDMC
if you no longer want to have it discovered by the SDMC. Right-click the system
and select Remove to remove the system from SDMC. The Revoke Access task
only removes the access to the system and does not remove the managed
system from the SDMC inventory. You can access the system again by
requesting access to it. However, the Remove task removes the details of the
system from the SDMC inventory. The system is no longer listed on the
Welcome page or Navigate Resources page. If you want to manage the system
again, you have to discover the system again. The Remove task implicitly
performs a revoke access task also, and the connection to the FSP is revoked.
