Changing Other Parameters for Audit Dumps

You can also use the ALTER AUDITDUMP command to make the following changes in

your audit dump configuration:

•

Change the system (or systems, when dumping to tape) on which the dumps are

to be archived

•

Change from one dump medium to another: for example, if your primary dump

medium is disk and you want to switch to tape dumps

•

Add or delete target disk volumes, if you are directing audit dumping to disk

•

Change the number of copies made of each audit dump, if you are directing audit

dumping to tape

•

Change the manner in which multiple copies are made—from series to parallel or

from parallel to series

•

Change the block size used for audit dumps

•

Turn tape verification on or off

You can change these audit dump attributes while TMF is started. Any changes you

make will affect future audit dumps, but not those currently in progress.

Changing the System

To change the system or systems on which audit dumps are to be archived, use the

SYSTEM option in the ALTER AUDITDUMP command. By default, audit dumps are

archived on the local system.

Changing the Audit Dump Medium

To direct audit dumps to disk rather than tape (the default), include the MEDIUM DISK

and ADDDISKMEDIA options in an ALTER AUDITDUMP command. To direct audit

dumps to tape rather than disk, include the MEDIUM TAPE or the RESET MEDIUM

option.

Adding and Deleting Target Disk Volumes

Up to sixteen disk volumes can be configured at any one time for receiving audit

dumps. If you configure more than one volume for that purpose, they are used in the

sequence in which they are configured (the first volume is used until it is full, then the

second volume is used until it is full, and so forth). To add or delete target disk

volumes, use the ADDDISKMEDIA or DELDISKMEDIA option in an ALTER

AUDITDUMP command.
