Volume and Subvolume Security Command
Summary
Table 9-1. Disk Volume and Subvolume Security Command Summary
Command Description
ADD [SUB]VOLUME Adds a volume or subvolume authorization record with the 
specified attribute values. The current default volume or 
subvolume attribute values are used for any attributes not 
specified in the ADD VOLUME or ADD SUBVOLUME 
command. Only a local super group user can add a record for 
a disk volume unless the default action is overridden with an 
ACL for OBJECTTYPE VOLUME or SUBVOLUME.
ALTER [SUB]VOLUME Changes one or more attribute values in a volume or 
subvolume authorization record. For all attributes except 
ACCESS, ALTER replaces the current value with the specified 
value. For ACCESS, ALTER changes the existing ACL to 
incorporate access-spec.
DELETE [SUB]VOLUME Deletes an authorization record for a volume or subvolume. 
After a volume authorization record is deleted, only attempts to 
create disk files on protected subvolumes on the volume are 
subject to Safeguard security checks or auditing. After a 
subvolume authorization record is deleted, attempts to create 
disk files on the subvolume are subject to Safeguard security 
checks and auditing only if the volume on which the subvolume 
resides is protected. In addition, in either case, disk files with 
persistent protection are subject to Safeguard security checks 
and auditing.
FREEZE [SUB]VOLUME Temporarily suspends the file-creation authority granted to 
users with a volume or subvolume ACL. On any frozen volume 
or subvolume, file creation and access authority is granted only 
to an owner, the primary owner’s group manager, and the 
super ID.
INFO [SUB]VOLUME Displays the existing attribute values in a disk volume or 
subvolume authorization record 
RESET [SUB]VOLUME Sets one or more default volume or subvolume attribute values 
to predefined values 
SET [SUB]VOLUME Sets one or more default volume or subvolume attribute values 
to specified values. When a volume or subvolume 
authorization record is added, the current default attribute 
values are used for any attributes not specified in the ADD 
command.
SHOW [SUB]VOLUME Displays the current default values of the volume or subvolume 
attribute 
THAW [SUB]VOLUME For frozen volumes or subvolumes, restores the file-creation 
authority granted to users on that volume or subvolume ACL
