Gil,
Those terms are very arbitary. Titles for
people doing system management could range
from secretary, programmer, network manager,
VP, systems engineer, systems administrator,
Director of MIS, the UNIX or Microsoft guy who must take care of it, systems manager,
systems integrator, software specialist,
systems analyst to the guy that was left when they laid off the guy who knew what they were doing, they don't need a systems manager, they have a contract.
The duties are not clearly defined. As to all the tasks for a systems manager, for that there also are no clear definitions.
A reasonable stab would be everything in the systems manager reference manual, perhaps support all or some of the layered products, perhaps manage the network getting your hands slapped if you touch the network, to managing the storage, to getting your knees broken if you touch the SAN.
Seriously, the real definition is simple.
Do what is most valuable for your site, insure someone else can do it as well, or you'll never take vacations of be promoted,
and have a lot of fun.
Make sure that you can recover when the disk fails or someone messes up.
