Displaying Dump Media Information
The following example shows a STATUS AUDITDUMP command display:
TMF 5> STATUS AUDITDUMP
AuditDump Status:
Master: State: enabled, Status: active, Process: $X824
File: $MAT1.ZTMFAT.AA000012
AUXILIARY01: Not configured for dumping
AUXILIARY02: State: DISABLED, Status: inactive
Table 4-1 describes the status and state values that can appear in an audit dump
status display.
Displaying Dump Media Information
Use the INFO DUMPS and INFO TAPEMEDIA commands to see dump media
information recorded in the TMF catalog. The TMF catalog contains information about
all dumps needed by TMF recovery processes, and about dump media available for
reuse.
The INFO DUMPS command is useful if you need to know which tape or disk contains
a specific file, when the dumps were performed, or dump serial numbers. Both the
INFO DUMPS and INFO TAPEMEDIA commands report the names of the tape and
disk media that are used for TMF dumps, the media type (tape or disk), and the media
status (assigned, released, scratch, or invalid).
See Section 6, The TMF Catalog
, or the TMF Reference Manual for more information
on using commands for viewing and changing the TMF catalog.
Table 4-1. Understanding Audit Dump State and Status Values
State Meaning
Enabled The audit dump process is available to dump audit-trail files.
Disabled A DISABLE AUDITDUMP command has suspended the audit dump
process. The process will not dump any more audit-trail files after it
dumps the current file. The disabled state remains, even if TMF is
stopped and restarted. You must issue the ENABLE AUDITDUMP
command to allow the audit dump process to begin dumping.
Status Meaning
Active The audit dump process is currently dumping the named audit-trail file. In
the previous example, the file $MAT1.ZTMFAT.AA000012 is being
dumped.
Inactive The audit dump process is not running because the process is disabled,
there are no audit-trail files to be dumped, or TMF is starting or stopping.
Not configured
for dumping
An audit dump process is not configured for this audit trail.
