HP_UX: changing audit file location

I have to enable auditing on my HP-UX servers. Once issue I have is that the size of root was set conservatively to 200Mb and has approx 70Mb free. As space is at a premium, I want to store the audfiles in a different location. I have an abundance of space on my secondary volume group (VG01), so are there any issues with not storing the audfiles on VG00 ?

What I am proposing to do is create a new suitably sized logical volume on VG01 to store the audfiles there? Is this a sensible option or are there risks / issues I need to be aware of in doing this?

Re: HP_UX: changing audit file location

Hi,

We use external disk storage for audit. I created a vg02 to house the audit files (audfile1, audfile2 and audfile3) and the other needed directories like /scripts and /hold. Here the audit files grow very large. Make any needed changes to /etc/rc.config.d/auditing and /audit/scripts/AuditlogMaint.

Sp,
