IBM LoadLeveler for AIX 5L: Using and Administering

Step 1: Define LoadLeveler administrators

Specify the following keyword:

LOADL_ADMIN = list of user names (required)

Where list of user names is a blank-delimited list of those individuals who will have administrative authority. These users are able to invoke the administrator-only commands such as llctl, llfavorjob, and llfavoruser. These administrators can also invoke the administrator-only GUI functions. For more information, see Administrative uses for the Graphical User Interface.

LoadLeveler administrators on this list also receive mail describing problems that are encountered by the master daemon. When DCE is enabled, the LOADL_ADMIN list is used only as a mailing list. For more information, see Step 16: Configuring LoadLeveler to use DCE security services.

An administrator on a machine is granted administrative privileges on that machine. It does not grant him administrative privileges on other machines. To be an administrator on all machines in the LoadLeveler cluster either specify your user ID in the global configuration file with no entries in the local configuration file or specify your userid in every local configuration file that exists in the LoadLeveler cluster.

For example, to grant administrative authority to users bob and mary, enter the following in the configuration file:

LOADL_ADMIN = bob mary
