hsmlogmax

The hsmlogmax option specifies the maximum size of the HSM log, in megabytes.

You must use an authorized user ID to use this option.

If you use the hsmlogretention option instead of the hsmlogmax option, all existing log entries are retained and the log is pruned according to the new hsmlogretention option age criteria.

If you use the hsmlogmax option instead of the hsmlogretention option, all records in the existing log are copied to the pruned log file, dsmhsm.pru. Then the existing log is emptied, and logging begins under the hsmlogmax option size criteria.

If you change the value of the hsmlogmax option, the existing log is extended or shortened to accommodate the new size. If the value is reduced, the oldest entries are deleted to reduce the file to the new size.

Restriction: You cannot specify a nonzero hsmlogmax option value and activate the hsmlogretention option.

Options File

Place this option in the client system options file dsm.sys within a server stanza.
