Displaying TMF Status
To recover from this situation, increase the audit-trail capacity as described in
Responding to Audit-Trail Overflow on page 3-5. It is important that you determine the
cause of the capacity problem so you can correct it and make sure it does not recur.
The information in the STATUS TMF display can notify you of a potential problem on
the system, which you can usually prevent by taking some action. Table 1-1 describes
the information in the STATUS TMF display.
Table 1-2 lists the possible TMF states reported by the STATUS TMF command.
Table 1-1. Understanding the STATUS TMF Display

aborted per second.
AuditTrail Status The percentage of the audit trail that is full and the name of the audit-
trail file currently receiving audit records. If one or more audit-trail files

State Meaning
Empty audit-trail
configuration
TMF has been brought up for the first time on this node and no
configuration exists for it, or a DELETE TMF command was
executed. To start TMF, you must use the ADD AUDITTRAIL
command to add at least one audit trail.
Configuring new audit
trails
TMF has not yet been started with this configuration. You can
still add new audit trails with the ADD AUDITTRAIL command,
alter previously added audit trails with the ALTER AUDITTRAIL
command, or start TMF with the START TMF command.
Started TMF has started.
Stopped TMF is stopped.
