Securing Volumes and Devices
Safeguard Administrator’s Manual—523317-013
4-2
General Procedure for Securing Volumes and
Devices
You can transfer ownership of a volume or device by changing the OWNER attribute.
You can also designate additional owners by specifying OWNER authority in the
access control list. Both forms of ownership allow an owner to modify the authorization
record for the volume or device.
General Procedure for Securing Volumes and
Devices
The general procedure for protecting a volume or device with the Safeguard software:
1. Establish default attributes using the SET or RESET commands.
2. Verify the default settings with the SHOW command.
3. Add the volume or device to the Safeguard database with the ADD command. This
creates an authorization record for the object.
4. Verify the attributes in the authorization record with the INFO command.
5. Make any necessary changes to the authorization record with the ALTER
command.
