An administrator must have a valid ID and password on the
hub server to log in to the Operations Center. An administrator
ID is also assigned to the Operations Center so that the Operations Center can monitor
servers.
The
Operations Center requires
the following
Tivoli® Storage
Manager administrator
IDs:
- Administrator IDs that are registered on the hub server
- Any administrator ID that is registered on the hub server can
be used to log in to the Operations Center. The authority
level of the ID determines which tasks can be completed. You can create
new administrator IDs by using the REGISTER ADMIN command.
Restriction: To use an administrator ID in a multiple-server
configuration, the ID must be registered on the hub and spoke servers
with the same password and authority level.
To manage authentication
for these servers, consider using one of the following methods:
- Monitoring administrator ID
- When you initially configure the hub server, an administrator
ID named IBM-OC-server_name is registered with
system authority on the hub server and is associated with the initial
password that you specify. This ID, which is sometimes called the monitoring
administrator, is intended for use only by the Operations Center.
Do not
delete, lock, or modify this ID. The same administrator ID with the
same password is registered on the spoke servers that you add. The
password is automatically changed on the hub and spoke servers every
90 days. You do not need to use or manage this password.
