Defining users – HP NonStop G-Series User Manual
Page 29
MSP Users
Define the users that are authorized to connect to the master service
processors (
s) or maintenance entities (MEs) on your server. MSP
users have access to your server using the OSM Low-Level Link only and
are not user names for the OSM Service Connection.
Defining Users
To use the OSM client and server software, you must define the users that have access to your
server. OSM allows two types of users:
MSP (Low-Level-Link) Users
Can log on to the OSM Low-Level Link and connect to the MSP or ME, allowing them
to access a server even when the NonStop operating system is not running.
●
Have full privileges and can perform serious actions such as loading the processor or
starting the system. Any MSP user can perform any action available in the OSM
Low-Level Link.
●
Have an MSP user name and password. You assign and modify MSP user names and
passwords using the OSM Low-Level Link. OSM provides one predefined MSP user
name, root. There is no predefined password for the root user. For security reasons, you
should immediately specify a root password. For more information, see the OSM
Low-Level Link online help.
●
NonStop Operating System Users
Can connect to the server using the OSM Service Connection.
●
Can perform OSM Service Connection tasks. Only super-group users (255,n) can initiate
actions. Other users can log on and perform discovery but can perform only actions that
verify the presence of a resource.
Note: All NonStop operating system (super-group or other) users can perform all
tasks using the OSM Notification Director. For more information, see the
OSM Notification Director online help.
●
Can access the OSM Event Viewer.
●
Have a NonStop operating system user name and password. These user names and
passwords are defined when you initialize your new system.
●
How to Plan Your Users
Define the general actions each person or group of persons will perform using the OSM
software package.

Using the OSM Low-Level Link, define the MSP user names and passwords you will
