3 TMF Planning and Configuration Guide This section presents new and revised information for the discussions documented in the TMF Planning and Configuration Guide. Topic Page Why Start Over? 3-2 Audit-Trail File Size 3-2 Increasing Audit-Trail Capacity 3-3 Fallback From a Format 2 Audit-Trail Environment to a Format 1 Audit-Trail Environment 3-4 A complete summary of all new and revised discussions for the TMF manuals appears in Table 1-1, Summary of New and Changed Information, on page 1-1.
TMF Planning and Configuration Guide Why Start Over? (Page 1-9) Why Start Over? (Page 1-9) You should delete TMF in a production environment only after careful consideration, because all audit dumps and online dumps are lost, and new dumps must be taken.
Increasing Audit-Trail Capacity (Pages 3-6 through 3-7) TMF Planning and Configuration Guide Table 3-1. Audit-Trail File Size File Size Value Recommended Minimum 300 megabytes. Recommended Maximum The daily audit-generation rate. To change the audit-trail file size after TMF is started, issue an ALTER AUDITTRAIL command containing the desired FILESIZE parameter.
TMF Planning and Configuration Guide Fallback From a Format 2 Audit-Trail Environment to a Format 1 Audit-Trail Environment (Appendix A) If there is more room on the active-audit volume, increase the number of files per active-audit volume. If the active-audit volume is fully allocated, add another activeaudit volume. Note that when you add an active-audit volume, the audit-trail capacity is increased by the current configured number of files per active-audit volume.
TMF Planning and Configuration Guide Fallback From Phase B RVU Migration Transition to Point Format 2 Audit | | --------------------------------|--------------------------------- -------|---------------------------------------> A | B | C Fallback From Phase B If the file-size attribute has not been altered for any audit trail, there are no TMF issues for fallback. The TMF audit-trail configuration remains compatible with older format 1 configurations.
TMF Planning and Configuration Guide Fallback From Phase C Because prior RVUs of TMF do not support multiple file sizes for a given audit trail, some of the old algorithms do not lend themselves to handling multiple file sizes. In the best case, values for overflow locations and abort transaction locations would be incorrect (potentially hurting system performance).
TMF Planning and Configuration Guide Fallback Plan for Phase C Fallback Plan for Phase C Note that this plan preserves the changes to data made during Phase C: 1. Do a clean TMF shutdown (all audited disks must be available); otherwise your HP field service representative must hand patch to restore consistency to all audited files. 2. Back up all audited files by using Backup/Restore (because TMF protection is lost during this process, and the files on disk are the only copies). 3.
TMF Planning and Configuration Guide Alternative Fallback Plan for Phase C 7. Issue the following FUP RENAME command: FUP RENAME $.ZTMFCONF.*, OLDCONF.* 8. Restore the previously-saved TMF catalog and configuration files: RESTORE $, $.ZTMFCONF.*, OPEN 9.
4 TMF Operations and Recovery Guide This section presents new and revised information for the discussions documented in the TMF Operations and Recovery Guide. Topic Page Large Audit Trails 4-1 Reason: Required by RDF environment 4-1 A complete summary of all new and revised discussions for the TMF manuals appears in Table 1-1, Summary of New and Changed Information, on page 1-1.
TMF Operations and Recovery Guide Reason: Required by RDF environment (Pages 2-6 through 2-7) When you subsequently issue the START RDF command, RDFCOM asks TMF to restore any necessary audit files from the archive media. However, if any of those audit files are no longer available (because the online dumps that required them were deleted by TMF RETAINDEPTH processing), RDF will be unable to start. In this case, you must resynchronize the database protected by RDF.
5 TMF Reference Manual This section presents new and revised information for the commands and messages documented in the TMF Reference Manual. Topic Page ADD AUDITTRAIL 5-2 ALTER AUDITTRAIL 5-10 ALTER TMF 5-22 INFO AUDITTRAIL 5-25 INFO TMF 5-29 RESET AUDITTRAIL 5-36 SET AUDITTRAIL 5-39 STATUS AUDITTRAIL 5-43 Message Descriptions 5-50 A complete summary of all new and revised discussions for all TMF manuals appears in Table 1-1, Summary of New and Changed Information, on page 1-1.
ADD AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-14 through 3-19) TMF Reference Manual ADD AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-14 through 3-19) The ADD AUDITTRAIL command adds an audit trail to the TMF configuration. ADD AUDITTRAIL {MASTER | MAT {AUX[ILIARY]nn [,AUDITDUMP {ON | OFF [,FILESIZE integer [,ACTIVEVOL[S] {volume {(volume [,volume]...) [,FILESPERVOLUME integer } } }] ] } }] ] [,OVERFLOWVOL[S] {volume } {(volume [,volume]...)}] [,OVERFLOWTHRESHOLD integer [,RESTOREVOL[S] ] {volume } {(volume [,volume]...
ADD AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-14 through 3-19) TMF Reference Manual If AUDITDUMP is ON, use the ALTER AUDITDUMP command to modify other parameters relating to audit dumping. These parameters are explained in the ALTER AUDITDUMP command description.
TMF Reference Manual ADD AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-14 through 3-19) ACTIVEVOL[S] specifies the disk volume that holds the audit-trail files. If ACTIVEVOL[S] was specified in a previous SET AUDITTRAIL command in this session, this parameter is optional in the ADD AUDITTRAIL command; otherwise, this parameter is required. You must specify at least one volume; up to 16 are allowed. A single volume cannot be configured as an active volume for more than one audit trail.
TMF Reference Manual ADD AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-14 through 3-19) volumes not configured for other TMF purposes. To change the overflow-audit volumes later, you can use the ALTER AUDITTRAIL command. For the START TMF command to execute successfully, all overflow-audit volumes must be up. OVERFLOWTHRESHOLD integer specifies the percentage of audit trail capacity that can be consumed before TMF begins overflow copying. This is an optional parameter. The minimum value is 50 and the maximum is 100.
TMF Reference Manual ADD AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-14 through 3-19) Usage Guidelines There must be exactly one master audit trail in a TMF system. In addition, there can be up to 15 optional auxiliary audit trails. Auxiliary audit trails receive the audit information generated by a specified set of data volumes; they do not contain TMF control information.
TMF Reference Manual ADD AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-14 through 3-19) specific audit trail, the ATFORMAT value entered through the ALTER TMF command applies to your entire TMF configuration.). Note. You should ensure that enough disk space exists to accommodate files of the size specified in FILESIZE and the number specified in FILESPERVOLUME.
TMF Reference Manual ADD AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-14 through 3-19) RESTOREVOL Option Considerations Restore-audit volumes are used to receive audit-trail files restored from an audit dump as part of a recovery procedure. You can specify the restore-audit volumes associated with the audit trail through the RESTOREVOLS parameter. Configuring an active-audit volume as an overflow- or restore-audit volume might result in contention for the disk, adversely impacting performance.
TMF Reference Manual ADD AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-14 through 3-19) The next ADD AUDITTRAIL command adds an auxiliary audit trail identified as AUX01, using the disk volume $AUX1 for the active-audit volume and $DATA3 for the overflow and restore locations: TMF 11> ADD AUDITTRAIL AUX01, FILESPERVOLUME 6, ACTIVEVOLS & >>>$AUX1, OVERFLOWVOLS $DATA3, RESTOREVOLS $DATA3, AUDITDUMP ON HP NonStop TMF Supplement for Large Audit-Trail Files —527391-001 5 -9
TMF Reference Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) The ALTER AUDITTRAIL command changes the configured attribute values of an audit trail and can execute while TMF is running. ALTER AUDITTRAIL {MASTER | MAT } {AUX[ILIARY]nn} [,AUDITDUMP {ON | OFF}] [,ADDACTIVEVOL[S] {volume {(volume [,volume]...) [,DELETEACTIVEVOL[S] {volume {(volume [,volume]...
TMF Reference Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) AUDITDUMP {ON | OFF} determines whether audit dumping is performed for the audit trail. ON specifies that audit dumping takes place, and OFF prevents audit dumping.
TMF Reference Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) FILESPERVOLUME. If the volume has insufficient space for these files, it cannot be added to the configuration. Active-audit volumes are added to the end of the list of available volumes maintained by TMF; therefore, they might not be used immediately. Audit-trail files are written to active-audit volumes sequentially, but TMF tries to avoid writing two audit-trail files in succession to the same volume.
TMF Reference Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) Increasing the FILESPERVOLUME value is the recommended way of increasing the audit trail capacity, if there is sufficient space on the currently configured activeaudit volumes. Using this technique evenly distributes the new files among all volumes, rather than concentrating them on any added volumes. RESET FILESPERVOLUME resets the FILESPERVOLUME attribute to the originally assigned default, which is 5.
TMF Reference Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) from tape only. The minimum value is 1, and the maximum is 9999. The originally assigned default is 0 (no files are retained). RESET MAXRETAINEDATFILES resets the MAXRETAINEDATEFILES attribute to the originally assigned default, which is 0. BEGINTRANSDISABLE integer specifies the percentage of audit trail capacity that can be consumed before TMF disables new transactions.
TMF Reference Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) Security Restrictions You can issue the ALTER AUDITTRAIL command only if you are a member of the super user group. TMF State Requirement You can enter the ALTER AUDITTRAIL command at any time, whether or not TMF has been started. However, after TMF is configured and started for the first time, you can add or delete active-audit volumes or alter AUDITDUMP to OFF only while TMF is up and running.
TMF Reference Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) When you issue an ALTER AUDITTRAIL command that sets AUDITDUMP to OFF, TMF displays a confirmation message that allows you to either verify that you want to take this action or to indicate that you do not.
TMF Reference Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) The integer value specifies the total number of audit-trail files retained across the entire set of restore-audit volumes. In other words, whether you have one restoreaudit volume or five restore-audit volumes, setting the value to 50 would give you a maximum of 50 retained audit-trail files in either case.
TMF Reference Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) If you specify RESET MAXRETAINEDATFILES, any retained audit-trail files presently on disk will be purged immediately after they are no longer needed. Note. You cannot use the ADD AUDITTRAIL command to set the MAXRETAINEDATFILES value; the MAXRETAINEDATFILES option is only available with ALTER AUDITTRAIL. Each time TMF is started, all audit-trail files on restore-audit volumes are purged automatically.
TMF Reference Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) specific audit trail, the ATFORMAT value entered through the ALTER TMF command applies to your entire TMF configuration.) Note. You should ensure that enough disk space exists to accommodate files of the size specified in FILESIZE and the number specified in FILESPERVOLUME.
TMF Reference Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) command are not undone; to get the configuration to the desired state, use the INFO AUDITTRAIL command to check the configuration and then enter ALTER AUDITTRAIL commands to compensate for the changes needed. If the ALTER AUDITTRAIL command returns an error, files that were preallocated when active volumes were added might not be purged from the volumes; this occurs if the TMP loses access to these volumes.
TMF Reference Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-51 through 3-60) This command both creates a restore-audit volume on $TMF02 and deletes the one on $TMF01: TMF 24> ALTER AUDITTRAIL MAT, ADDRESTOREVOL $TMF02, >>>DELETERESTOREVOL $TMF01 & The following ALTER AUDITTRAIL command requests TMF to retain up to the last 50 highest-numbered MAT audit-trail files in the restore-audit volumes, even after all recovery processes are finished: TMF 25> ALTER AUDITTRAIL MAT, MAXRETAINEDATFILES 50 The next ALTER AUDITTRAI
TMF Reference Manual ALTER TMF (Pages 3-94 through 3-95) ALTER TMF (Pages 3-94 through 3-95) The ALTER TMF command changes the TMF configuration volume, switches the functions of the TMP’s primary and backup processes, or changes the audit-trail files from format 1 to format 2 or from format 2 to format 1. ALTER TMF, {CONFIGVOL volume } {SWITCHPROCESS TMP} {ATFORMAT format } CONFIGVOL volume specifies the name of the volume that contains the configuration files to be used in the next TMF startup.
TMF Reference Manual ALTER TMF (Pages 3-94 through 3-95) Changing the TMF Configuration Volume With the CONFIGVOL option, the ALTER TMF command causes the TMP process to change the TMF configuration volume and then stop itself. The new TMP process, recreated automatically, uses the new configuration volume. If there are no configuration files located in the ZTMFCONF subvolume on that volume, the TMP creates new ones. You can restart TMF with a START TMF command. Caution.
TMF Reference Manual ALTER TMF (Pages 3-94 through 3-95) generally required only once, because the format change is typically a one-time operation done only to move from format 1 to format 2 files. Caution. Changing from format 1 to format 2 audit-trail files may make falling back to an earlier TMF RVU difficult; prior TMF releases cannot read format 2 audit-trail files. Thus, you should not move to format 2 files until you are confident of the stability of this RVU in your system environment.
TMF Reference Manual INFO AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-152 through 3-155) INFO AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-152 through 3-155) The INFO AUDITTRAIL command displays the configured attribute values of audit trails. INFO AUDITTRAIL [MASTER | MAT ] [AUX[ILIARY]nn ] [(MASTER | MAT [,AUX[ILIARY]nn ])] [(AUX[ILIARY]nn [,MASTER | MAT ])] [(AUX[ILIARY]nn [,AUX[ILIARY]nn])] [ * ] [,OBEYFORM] MASTER | MAT AUX[ILIARY]nn identifies the audit trail for which attributes are to be displayed. MASTER or MAT specifies the master audit trail.
INFO AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-152 through 3-155) TMF Reference Manual TMF State Requirement You can enter the INFO AUDITTRAIL command at any time, whether or not TMF has been started. Usage Guideline The INFO AUDITTRAIL command displays a subset of the information presented by the INFO TMF command. Output Displayed The INFO AUDITTRAIL command displays the attributes configured for the audit trails by ADD AUDITTRAIL and ALTER AUDITTRAIL commands entered previously.
INFO AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-152 through 3-155) TMF Reference Manual Examples The following INFO AUDITTRAIL command displays information for the master audit trail: TMF >77 INFO AUDITTRAIL MASTER AuditTrail Configuration: Master ActiveVols: $MAT1, $MAT2 Subvolume ZTMFAT, Prefix AA, filesize 1000000, filespervolume 3, auditdump on, overflowthreshold 75%, begintransdisable 90%, MaxRetainedATFiles 1 OverflowVols: $DATA1 RestoreVols: $DATA2 The next INFO AUDITTRAIL command formats the configuration of the master

TMF Reference Manual INFO TMF (Pages 3-182 through 3-188) INFO TMF (Pages 3-182 through 3-188) The INFO TMF command displays the configured attribute values of TMF. INFO TMF [,{CNFGFORM | OBEYFORM}] CNFGFORM formats the INFO TMF output as command file text that can be executed by TMFCOM. TMF saves this output in the file designated by the OUT option available with all commands. Subsequently executing this command file produces a running system that exactly matches your present TMF configuration.
TMF Reference Manual INFO TMF (Pages 3-182 through 3-188) TMF State Requirement You can enter the INFO TMF command at any time, whether or not TMF has been started. Usage Guidelines The INFO TMF command displays the current TMF configuration volume and combines the information presented by the INFO commands for the following objects: AUDITDUMP, AUDITTRAIL, BEGINTRANS (only when TMF is running), and CATALOG.
TMF Reference Manual INFO TMF (Pages 3-182 through 3-188) require TMF to be running will not be executed unless you modify the file by adding a START TMF command preceding these commands. Note. To augment the information captured through the INFO TMF, CNFG command, you can capture current information about TMF online and audit dumps by using the INFO DUMPS, OBEYFORM command. For more information about this step, see “INFO DUMPS” on page 3-170 of the TMF Reference Manual.

TMF Reference Manual RESET AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-219 through 3-221) RESET AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-219 through 3-221) The RESET AUDITTRAIL command resets audit trail attributes to their default values, canceling the effects of any previous SET AUDITTRAIL commands. Values changed by RESET AUDITTRAIL are local to your current session and only apply to ADD AUDITTRAIL commands subsequently issued within this session. RESET AUDITTRAIL {attribute [,attribute]...
TMF Reference Manual RESET AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-219 through 3-221) parameter of a new ADD AUDITTRAIL or SET AUDITTRAIL command, TMF generates an EMS warning event message when you add the audit trail. OVERFLOWTHRESHOLD resets the OVERFLOWTHRESHOLD attribute to 80 (if an overflow volume is configured), indicating that overflow copying begins when the audit trail capacity in use exceeds 80%.
TMF Reference Manual RESET AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-219 through 3-221) Examples The following RESET AUDITTRAIL command resets the BEGINTRANSDISABLE attribute to 90%, overriding an earlier SET command that established a different value for this attribute: TMF 81> RESET AUDITTRAIL BEGINTRANSDISABLE Now, all subsequent ADD AUDITTRAIL commands that do not include the BEGINTRANSDISABLE parameter will use this 90% value for that attribute.
TMF Reference Manual SET AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-232 through 3-235) SET AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-232 through 3-235) The SET AUDITTRAIL command establishes attribute values for audit trails created by subsequent ADD AUDITTRAIL commands issued during the same TMFCOM session. SET AUDITTRAIL attribute [,attribute]... where attribute is any of the following: [AUDITDUMP {ON | OFF}] [FILESIZE integer ] [ACTIVEVOL[S] {volume } {(volume [,volume] ...
TMF Reference Manual SET AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-232 through 3-235) FILESIZE integer specifies the size of the audit-trail files, in megabytes (MB). The minimum value for FILESIZE is 1 and the maximum depends on the format of the audit-trail files, as follows: • • For format 1 files: 2047 or the maximum disk size (if less than 2047 MB). For format 2 files: 1048575 or the maximum disk size (if less than 1048575 MB). (Note that 1048575 equals 1 terabyte (TB) minus 1 megabyte (MB).) Caution.
TMF Reference Manual SET AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-232 through 3-235) The FILESPERVOLUME value can be altered later, even while TMF is running, by using the ALTER AUDITTRAIL command. OVERFLOWVOL[S] specifies the volumes to be used as overflow space for the audit trail, if required (this attribute is not required by TMF, but if you omit it, TMF issues a warning event message at TMF startup, indicating that an overflow-audit volume should be configured). You can specify from 1 to 16 overflow volumes.
TMF Reference Manual SET AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-232 through 3-235) Usage Guidelines The values specified in SET AUDITTRAIL are local to your current session only and are not propagated to TMFSERVE. These values take effect when you issue subsequent ADD AUDITTRAIL commands within your session and cease to apply when your session ends.
TMF Reference Manual STATUS AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-261 through 3-267) STATUS AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-261 through 3-267) The STATUS AUDITTRAIL command displays the current audit trail activity. STATUS AUDITTRAIL [MASTER | MAT ] [AUX[ILIARY]nn ] [(MASTER | MAT [,AUX[ILIARY]nn]) ] [(AUX[ILIARY]nn [,MASTER | MAT]) ] [(AUX[ILIARY]nn [,AUX[ILIARY]nn])] [* ] [,DETAIL] MASTER | MAT AUX[ILIARY]nn identifies the audit trail whose activity is to be displayed. MASTER or MAT specifies the master audit trail.
TMF Reference Manual STATUS AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-261 through 3-267) Usage Guideline The STATUS AUDITTRAIL command displays the following items: • • • • • The name of the audit trail The percentage of audit trail capacity in use The name of the oldest audit-trail file that is not yet ready to be reused or purged by TMF The reason a file is pinned (retained) on disk One or more audit-trail file names, and an indication of their status These items are explained next under “Output Displayed.
STATUS AUDITTRAIL (Pages 3-261 through 3-267) TMF Reference Manual Adding an active-audit volume to the audit trail increases audit trail capacity by the number of files specified in the FILESPERVOLUME attribute. You can use this option only if you have a volume that is not already configured as an active-audit volume or a data volume.

This token can occur from 1 to 16 times. Although this token is optional, it is recommended that you specify at least one overflow-audit volume. You cannot specify the same overflow-audit volume twice in the same command.
ADD AUDITTRAIL (Pages 5-8 through 5-12) TMF Management Programming Manual The default is ZSPI-VAL-TRUE. An auxiliary audit trail cannot be configured with ZAUDITDUMP set to ZSPI-VAL-TRUE unless the master audit trail is also configured with ZAUDITDUMP set to ZSPI-VAL-TRUE. A master audit trail cannot be configured with ZAUDITDUMP set to ZSPI-VAL-FALSE unless the auxiliary audit trails are also configured with ZAUDITDUMP set to ZSPI-VAL-FALSE.
TMF Management Programming Manual ADD AUDITTRAIL (Pages 5-8 through 5-12) For format 1 files the default file size is 100, resulting in files of 100 MB (100 x 1024 x 1024 bytes) each. For format 2 files the default file size is 1024, resulting in files of 1024 MB (1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes) each. At any point after the FILESIZE attribute value is set, you can change it with the ALTER AUDITTRAIL command.
TMF Management Programming Manual ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 5-32 through 5-36) ALTER AUDITTRAIL (Pages 5-32 through 5-36) The ALTER AUDITTRAIL command changes the configured attribute values of an audit trail and can execute while TMF is running.
