Permissions for interconnect modules are slightly different. Autologin is not supported for interconnect
modules, and all user levels have access to the Management Console link for interconnect bays
to which they have permission. Administrators and operators can use the virtual buttons from
Onboard Administrator to control power and the UID light on the interconnect module. Users can
view only status and information about the interconnect module.
Examples
The following are examples of management scenarios in a Superdome 2 environment and the user
accounts that can be created to provide the appropriate level of security.
Scenario 1
: A member of an organization must have full access to the servers in bays 1-8 to view
logs, control power, and use the remote console. The user does not have clearance to manage
any settings on Onboard Administrator. The user account with this security level has an Administrator
access level and permission to server bays 1-8. Thus, the user does not have permission to Onboard
Administrator bays or any interconnect bay.
Scenario 2
: A member of an organization must manage ports on two interconnect modules in bays
3 and 4. This person must know which ports on the switch map to certain servers, but this person
must not be able to manage any of the servers. The user account with this security level has a User
access level, permission to all server bays, and permission to interconnect bays 3 and 4. However,
this user is not be able to control the power or UID LED for the interconnect modules or blades. To
control the power or UID to the interconnect modules the user privilege has to be Operator. To
restrict this user from performing server operations such as power control or consoles, the account
is restricted to just bay permissions for interconnect bays 3 and 4.
