Altering the Audit Pool Disk Allocation
This output appears:
Suppose that you later want to return to the default state in which the Safeguard
software attempts to recycle audit files. Use this SAFECOM command:
=ALTER AUDIT SERVICE, RECOVERY RECYCLE
Altering the Audit Pool Disk Allocation
After you create an audit pool with the ADD AUDIT POOL command, you can adjust
the disk allocation parameters as necessary with the ALTER AUDIT POOL command.
This command changes the disk allocation parameters for any unused audit files. It
does not affect unreleased audit files that contain data.
For example, suppose that you want to specify a maximum of ten audit files instead of
six that you originally defined for the current audit pool. To do so:
=ALTER AUDIT POOL, MAXFILES 10
To change the maximum number of audit files for an audit pool that is not the current
audit pool, you must specify the audit pool name:
=ALTER AUDIT POOL $secure.audit2, MAXFILES 8
You can also use the ALTER AUDIT POOL command to change the disk file extents.
To do so, use the same parameters as previously described for the ADD AUDIT POOL
command.
You can also use ALTER AUDIT POOL in conjunction with the RELEASE command to
delete audit files. (For more information, see Deleting Audit Files on page 3-8.)
Closing an Audit File
When the current audit file is full, the Safeguard software automatically closes it and
opens the next available file in the current audit pool. Alternatively, you can do this
manually with the NEXTFILE command. When you execute NEXTFILE, the Safeguard
software completes any outstanding write operations to the current file, closes it, and
opens the next audit file.
The NEXTFILE command has the form:
=NEXTFILE
CURRENT AUDIT POOL $secure.audit2
CURRENT AUDIT FILE A0000003
NEXT AUDIT POOL $keeper.audit1
RECOVERY DENY GRANTS
CURRENT STATE NORMAL
WRITE-THROUGH CACHE ON
EOF REFRESH ON
