Using the MCC
To make effective use of the MCC, the customer must identify and train essential personnel. The
following personnel are required:
• System Administrator. The system administrator must become thoroughly familiar with
the MCC, and is responsible for activities such as:
-
Assigning and creating login IDs.
- Starting up the MCC system.
- Shutting down the MCC.
- Backing up the system.
- Making configuration changes.
- Testing and implementing scripts.
- The system administrator should also be familiar with the Linux environment, and X-
windows functionality.
• Operator. The operator is responsible for the day-to-day use of the MCC, and should be
familiar with the MCC terminal and the GUI windows. This person should be conversant
with the applicable systems connected to the MCC, the implications of possible events,
and the actions to take in response to alerts.
• Script Programmer. The MCC can provide a high degree of automation of the response
to events. This automation is implemented by the use of scripts written in GCL. If a site
intends to make extensive use of automation, an operator or programmer should be
trained to write and maintain the necessary scripts.
