zfsadm setauditfid

Purpose

zfsadm setauditfid sets (or resets) the zFS auditfid in the mounted aggregate.

Options

-aggregate aggrname

Specifies the name of the aggregate whose auditfid is to be set. The aggregate must be attached (mounted). The aggregate name is not case-sensitive. It is always converted to uppercase.

-force

Specifies to change the auditfid to a new zFS auditfid. If the aggregate already contains the new form of the zFS auditfid that you want to change to a different new zFS auditfid (for example, if you copy an aggregate and then rename it, but keep the old aggregate), you must specify -force to avoid inadvertently changing the zFS auditfid.

-help

Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options that are specified with this option are ignored.

-level

Prints the level of the zfsadm command. This option is useful when you are diagnosing a problem. Except for -help, all other valid options that are specified with -level are ignored.

-old

Specifies that the zFS auditfid is set to binary zeros.

-trace file_name

Specifies the name of the file that will have the trace records written into it. The trace file can be a z/OS UNIX file, an existing MVS sequential data set, or a member of either an existing partitioned data set (PDS) or partitioned data set extended (PDSE). Use this option only at the direction of IBM Support.

For information about preallocation instructions for debugging, see Step 5 (Optional) Preallocate data sets for debugging in zFS installation and configuration steps.

Because MVS data set names must be fully qualified, z/OS UNIX has special rules for specifying MVS data set names in the shell environment. For more information, see Specifying MVS data set names in the shell environment in z/OS UNIX System Services Command Reference.

Usage notes

1. The zfsadm setauditfid command sets or resets the zFS auditfid in the aggregate on disk (based on the VOLSER and the cylinder, cylinder, head, head [CCHH] of the first extent of the aggregate). The aggregate must be attached (mounted). If you do not specify either -force or -old, a standard form auditfid (binary zeros) is changed to the unique form auditfid. If the aggregate already contains the unique form of the zFS auditfid and you want to change it to a different unique zFS auditfid (for example, if you copy an aggregate and then rename it - keeping the old one), you must specify -force to avoid inadvertently changing the zFS auditfid. The zFS auditfid is based on the VOLSER and the CCHH of the first extent, unless you specify -old. In that case, the zFS auditfid is set to binary zeros.
2. In a shared file system environment, whether the zfsadm setauditfid command is issued from the system owning the zFS aggregate or from a client system, the new auditfid value will only be visible on the zFS owning system. To make it visible on client systems, issue a remount to the same mode.

Privilege required

The issuer must be logged in as a root user (UID=0) or have READ authority to the SUPERUSER.FILESYS.PFSCTL resource in the z/OS® UNIXPRIV class.
