Securing your VIOS server
Wednesday June 17, 2026 10:30 - 11:30 CEST
06 - RHÔNE 3B
In many Power System environments, the Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) plays a vital role in providingdifferent criticial resources for the various partitions that are running under PowerVM. The default configurationof the VIOS environment provides basic security with just a single user padmin to manage the VIOSservers. This setting does not provide sufficient auditing controls nor does it implementthe principle of least privilege. The padmin user is equivalent to root on AIX and Linux orQSECOFR on IBM i. Nobody should grant these administrative rights to every user. Join this session to learn about the different security mechanisms that are available in the VIOSserver for authentication, user management, providing user role-based access, or implement best practices auditing and logging.
