occur:
❑
If the server is managed through the private management network, the SMU’s
eth1 IP address will be added to the server’s list of
NTP
servers.
❑
If the server is managed through the private management network, the SMU’s
eth1 IP address will be configured as the server’s Primary SMTP server. If Titan
was already configured to use a mail server, this server will automatically be
made the Backup SMTP server.
❑
Titan’s user name and password will be preserved on the SMU. This ensures that
when selecting this server as the current managed server, or when connecting to
the Titan’s Command Line Interface via SSH, the server does not prompt for an
additional authentication of its user name and password.
User Management
Web Manager provides support for multiple levels of server management. Administrators can
create accounts in Web Manager and assign different administrative functions or "roles" to the
accounts. These roles grant the ability to manage specific elements such as networking or
storage of any server or servers in a
Server Farm
.
Once a user has been created and assigned a role, this account can be used to log into the Web
Manager. Available servers and administrative functions will be presented in the user interface
based on the permissions granted by the role. Only the links for menu pages for which the role
permits will be visible in the Web Manager.
Administrative Roles
Titan can be configured with multiple user accounts and each user account can be assigned one
of the following "roles":
•
Global Administrator
- in this role administrators have full privileges on all servers
managed from the SMU. Global Administrators also have administrative control of the
SMU including the ability to create new user accounts.
•
Storage Administrator
- in this role the administrator can configure storage devices,
manage files systems, virtual volumes and allocate them to specific servers, but cannot
manage other settings of the server such as the network settings.
•
Server Administrator
- in this role the administrator manage one or more servers or HA
clusters, and may be able to manage IP addreses and exports, allocate storage and be
given or denied access to manage the subsystem of those servers.
Management roles are controlled by the SMU. The information relating to administrative
accounts like name, password, role or server list is maintained in the SMU's configuration
database.
