use sg-commands without root permissions

[centurion]

Is it possible to execute serviceguard commands (such as cmviewcl, cmrunpkg, ..) with a non root user?

[Shibin_2]

Install super and use through it.

[centurion]

what is super? something like sudo?

Most supported versions of Serviceguard allow cluster administrators to assign administrative privileges for the entire cluster or specific packages, to particular users.

Parameters in the cluster or package ASCII configuration file that govern this are:
USER_NAME
USER_HOST
USER_ROLE

You have to make changes in the template file that was generated via the cmquerycl command.

USER_NAME john
USER_HOST ANY_SERVICEGUARD_NODE
USER_ROLE FULL_ADMIN (or PACKAGE_ADMIN)

With PACKAGE_ADMIN you will be able to run administrative commands on the package from user john, and with FULL_ADMIN you should be able to run all SG commands from user john.

If your cluster is already configured, you need to cmapplyconf with the altered template file to apply the changes to your cluster.
