Authorization

To use the NODECMD command, you must have authority appropriate for the subcommand you are using. Refer to the list below:

  • The QRY subcommand can be used by the general user, but the sign-on password will be displayed only if the requestor has Tape Manager Admins authority.
  • The QUIESCE, RESUME, STOP, and START subcommands require either Tape Manager Operations or Admins authority.
  • The DEF and MOD subcommands require Tape Manager Admins authority.
When as External Security Manager (ESM) is active, the authorities may be controlled by ESM profiles:
  • When Privileged_User_Authority is YES, Tape Manager Operations authority requires READ access to the operator profile.
  • When Privileged_User_Authority is YES, Tape Manager Admins authority requires READ access to the administrator profile.

For more details, refer to the IBM Tape Manager for z/VM Installation and Administration Guide (SC18-9344).
