HSMS distinguishes between three classes of users for the utilization and control of its functions. In this manual, the user classes to which the individual functions are available are indicated where appropriate.
HSMS administrator (“HSMS-ADMINISTRATION” privilege)
The HSMS administrator is authorized to process all files residing on the local BS2000-UFS or any remote file system. The HSMS administrator has to create public archives for the local BS2000-UFS as well as his or her own working archives for the remote file systems.
BS2000 system administrator (“TSOS” and “root” privileges)
The BS2000 system administrator has to mount each remote file system to be processed on the “HSMS” node of the local BS2000-UFS. For this action, the BS2000 system administrator must have the root privilege for the computer on which the remote file system is normally processed. The root privilege is granted in BS2000 by assigning user number 0; this user number is by default allocated to the user ID SYSROOT.
The BS2000 system administrator has to create the “HSMS” directory in the local BS2000-UFS at initialization.
Before mounting the remote file system of a new computer on the local BS2000-UFS, the BS2000 system administrator has to create the node S0 for the new computer in the “HSMS” directory (mkdir command).
