Changing the Security Log Characteristics

This procedure is used to change the characteristics of the EAGLE’s security log using the chg-attr-seculog command. The chg-attr-seculog command uses these parameters.

:upldalm – whether the security log alarms are on. The security log alarms are:

• upload required – the percentage of the maximum capacity of the security log exceeds the value of the upslg parameter. The security log entries need to be copied to the file transfer area of the fixed disk.

• log overflowed – the security log has become 100% full and log entries are being lost. The security log entries must be copied to the file transfer area of the fixed disk.

• standby log contains >0 un-uploaded entries – the security log on the standby fixed disk contains entries that have not been copied to the file transfer area of the fixed disk. Usually, the security log on the standby fixed disk contains no entries, but for some reason, for example, a MASP switchover resulting in the active MASP security log becoming the standby MASP security log, the security log on the standby fixed disk contains uncopied security log entries.

  The upldalm=yes parameter turns the security log alarms on. The upldalm=no turns the security log alarms off. If a security log alarm has been generated, the upldalm=no parameter lowers the alarm.

:upslg – the threshold at which the EAGLE generates the upload required security log alarm, if the upldalm=yes parameter has been specified. The threshold is the percentage of the maximum capacity of the security log.

When the EAGLE is delivered to the user, the security log characteristics will be set to these values:

:upldalm = yes

:upslg = 90

1. Display the current characteristics of the security log by entering the rtrv-attr-seculog command.

   This is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 16:02:05 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
   Security log attributes
   -----------------------
   UPLDALM       no
   UPSLG         80
   

2. Change the characteristics of the security log by entering the chg-attr-seculog command.

   For this example, enter this command.

   chg-attr-seculog:upldalm=yes:upslg=90

   When this command has successfully completed, this message should appear.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 16:02:05 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
   CHG-ATTR-SECULOG: MASP A - COMPLTD
   

3. Verify the changes with the rtrv-attr-seculog command.

   This is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 16:02:05 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
   Security log attributes
   -----------------------
   UPLDALM      yes
   UPSLG         90
   

4. Back up the new changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.

   These messages should appear, the active Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor (MASP) appears first.

   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on active MASP.
   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on active MASP to fixed disk complete.
   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on standby MASP.
   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on standby MASP to fixed disk complete.
