CA VM:Secure Configuration for SFS User Administration

The CA VM:Secure configuration for SFS consists of two parts:

• Description of the SFS file pools and the user storage groups in those file pools
• Definition of the VM user IDs that will be SFS administrators and SFS managers, and the scopes of the managers’ authorities

The description of a file pool is simply the file pool’s name. The description of a user storage group is the user storage group’s number under its file pool and its allocation limit.

The description of SFS to CA VM:Secure includes only the file pools you defined for SFS that you want CA VM:Secure to manage. For each file pool described, CA VM:Secure needs only the user storage groups you want it to manage.

The definition of SFS administrators and SFS managers in CA VM:Secure identifies which user IDs can change the CA VM:Secure configuration for SFS and which user IDs can manage user IDs under SFS. SFS administrators’ requirements and responsibilities are explained in the section, SFS Administrators, earlier in this chapter; SFS managers’ requirements and responsibilities are explained in the SFS Managers section.
