Command Limiting SFS Commands

Native Shared File System (SFS) administration provides for one or more administrators who have unrestricted access to everything in a filepool. This forces you to create separate filepools whenever you want to grant an SFS administrator authority over a subset of users. While you may want multiple filepools for performance reasons, they may not be the answer to providing greater ease of administrative authority. Even creating multiple filepools does not always solve the problem of splitting authority in a detailed and flexible manner.

CA ACF2 for VM provides the option of validating SFS‑related commands SFS administrators issue through the CA ACF2 for VM command limiting feature.

The SFS command syntax CA ACF2 for VM validates is not free form as CP commands. Instead, SFS reconstructs each command in a fixed format before it passes it to CA ACF2 for VM .
