all times for the dynamic provisioning operations. The authorization control files 

of the VM Systems Management Server must be customized.

Authorization control files for the VM Systems Management API must be 

customized to grant the administrative user (IDADM in our case) proper 

authorization access to the VMAPI functions. These authorization control files 

reside on the 191 minidisk of the VSMSERVE user ID and are named VMSERVE 

AUTHLIST and VSMSERVE NAMELIST. The administrative user ID must to be 

authorized to perform the following group of functions for 

all

 user IDs:

QUERY_FUNCTIONS

It also must be authorized to perform this group of functions for all user IDs 

defined to be used during the provisioning operation (IDADM00X user IDs in our 

case):

DM_CONTROL

DM_IMAGE_CONTROL 

IMAGE_OPERATION 

IMAGE_DEVICES 

IMAGE_CONNECT
