Indeed GAM issue.
You can use either an normal NT user account, which allows
you only to few.
Or use a special account named gamroot, that has to become
and NT administrator account, that allows you do make changes
as well.
Mind you that in a Domain structure you need to download the
gamntfx2.zip patches on http://www.mylex.com or
http://akin40.ako.dec.com.
Without these patches you'll need to have in each local SAM
this gamroot user account. (And you don't have a local SAM
on PDC/BDC systems, which makes GAM not useable on a PDC or BDC)

| 239.2 | Same for non-NT OS | PCBUOA::BRACKEN | | Fri Apr 04 1997 09:26 | 6 |
| You need to create a username "gamroot" on the server (for any OS) that
you are trying to manage with GAM. Then when you log in through GAM
you use the username "gamroot" and the password that you assigned if
any. You need to use "gamroot" otherwise it won't work.

| Wow! Pjotrr and Rich, Thanks for the quick reply.
I'll give this info to the customer.

| Woops -
Customer is trying to view a Netware 4.11 server. Seems that he
can view the array but can't change - claims he is logging in as an
administrator account (note: not supervisor). Sounds like a
security issue with the netware account to me.
Trying to extrapolate from NT to Netware, I told him to create
a gamroot account in Netware and give it supervisor privs and login as
that account.
Apparently, you can't log in as a priv'd acct - you must make a
priv'd account called GAMROOT. True?
We also found a patch from mylex for Netware called GAM205NW.EXE (self
extracting zip file).
Thanks,
Gary

Gary,
I'm not sure if the GAM Software is supported in anything other than
NT from Digital. I could be wrong, but check the README file that is
in the ServerWORKS 2.2
section of KIT on akin40.....in there is EVERYTHING one needs to get
it to work, with the exception that our friend Ptorr has indicated
with the two patches that could be applied.

| 239.6 | Supported but doesn | ALFSS2::OLSEN_G | Real Men Go Wireless! | Mon Apr 07 1997 15:05 | 17 |
| Chet,
The Docs all refer to install procedures for Netware - put the SW AGent
on, run the GAM Client installation. Looked thru all the mylex stuff
that you have on the web site - they all talk about installation and
all the nice features, but none address this problem.
Customer took a previous suggestion and created an account on the
netware server called gamroot - gave it supervisor privs - no luck.
Tried the supervisor acct - no luck.
Again, he can view stuff, just can't make changes. Does anyone there
know this or can test it or can query Mylex for an answer?
Thanks
Gary

| If this is Manageworks 2.2 then there are some administrator
things that can't be done.
The functionality of what manageworks can and can't do is listed
in the course materials on the WEB. Specifically, the Manageworks
student guide in the Training section.

| 239.9 | Hmmmmmmmm..... | ALFSS2::OLSEN_G | Real Men Go Wireless! | Mon Apr 14 1997 09:05 | 5 |
| Thanks Chet - I'll check it out. Supposing that making changes to the
RAID array via GAM in ManageWORKS doesn't work - will Engineering
accept a QAR or CLD to get it to work?
Gary
|
| 239.10 | What are the specifics? | PCBUOA::WHITEC | Parrot_Trooper | Mon Apr 14 1997 11:41 | 8 |
|
You can't generate a QAR or IPMT on an external vendor supplied piece
of code and expect Engineering to work the issue.
What specifically are the changes that are trying to be made?
We can ask for functionality, if not there.

| Chet,
re:
> The functionality of what manageworks can and can't do
I assumed that it was a Manageworks problem that it won't recognize the
login info from the GAM utility to grant access. That is, use GAM
outside Manageworks, and it appears to allow you to modify (ie the
login works), but within Manageworks, it never recognizes the login and
thus shuts you out from modifications, so it appears to be a
Manageworks problem in not functioning with the GAM login bits.
That's what I was asking to be fixed.
