Commands requiring storage privilege

An administrator with storage privilege can issue commands that allocate and control storage resources for the server. The storage privilege can be unrestricted, or can be restricted to specific storage pools.

Unrestricted storage privilege permits you to issue all of the administrator commands that require storage privilege. You can issue commands that affect all existing storage pools as well as any storage pools that are defined in the future. You can also issue commands that affect the database and the recovery log. An unrestricted storage administrator cannot define or delete storage pools.

Restricted storage privilege permits you to issue administrator commands that only affect a storage pool for which you have been granted authority. For example, the DELETE VOLUME command only affects a storage pool volume that is defined to a specific storage pool.

Table 1 lists the commands an administrator with storage privilege can issue.
