Administration of a virtual machine (VIRTUAL-MACHINE-ADMINISTRATION)

A user task with the privilege VIRTUAL-MACHINE-ADMINISTRATION is permitted to execute a subset of the VM2000 commands and thus operate a virtual machine as VM administrator.

Further information about VM2000 can be found in the “VM2000” manual [22].

Upon delivery, the VIRTUAL-MACHINE-ADMINISTRATION privilege is assigned to the user ID TSOS. The security administrator may assign it to any other user ID (except his/her own).

The privilege for administration of a virtual machine is referred to as VIRTUAL-MACHINE-ADMINISTRATION in commands and messages and as VMPRIV in macros.
