ALTER AUDIT POOL Command
LIKE $vol.subvol
adopts the existing file-spec values of the specified $volume.subvolume as the
file-spec values to be used for the audit pool being added. The volume and
subvolume specified with LIKE must refer to an existing audit pool.
Considerations
•
If you do not include either LIKE or the file-spec variables, ADD AUDIT POOL
uses the default values for the file-spec variables.
•
All attempts to execute this command are audited.
Examples
1. This command defines an audit pool on $SECURE.TRAIL using the default values
for disk allocation of the audit files:
=ADD AUDIT POOL $secure.trail
2. This command defines an audit pool on $OPS1.AUDIT1 using the default values
for primary and secondary extents, specifying 24 maximum extents, and specifying
six audit files:
=ADD AUDIT POOL $ops1.audit1 MAXEXTENTS 24, MAXFILES 6
3. This command defines an audit pool on $OPS2.AUDIT2 using the same disk
allocation parameters as previously defined for the audit pool on $OPS1.AUDIT1:
=ADD AUDIT POOL $ops2.audit2 LIKE $ops1.audit1
ALTER AUDIT POOL Command
ALTER AUDIT POOL changes specified disk allocation parameters for an audit pool.
Any disk allocation parameters not specified in this command retain their current
settings.
Although this command changes the disk allocation parameters for the specified audit
pool, it resizes only audit files that are released or unused. It does not resize existing
audit files that contain data.
ALTER AUDIT POOL also provides a method of deleting released audit files. To do so,
use the MAXFILES parameter to decrease the maximum number of audit files in an
audit pool. This action effectively causes the excess number of released files to be
deleted.
Caution. Creating a Safeguard audit pool on a TMF active audit volume can result in system
performance problems during periods of heavy disk process activity.
