After you enter the root password, Enable/Disable/Modify Space Alarm Settings displays a
screen similar to the following:
Note When you run VxDBA operations as root, VxDBA cannot connect to and obtain
information directly from the database, so the submenu Database Status header reports a
permission error, and the number of tablespaces and datafiles are enclosed in parentheses.
Select from the following file system space alarm operations:
Enable or Disable Boot-Time Start of Monitoring Agent. Use this menu option to change the
boot-time start activity of the VxDBA Monitoring Agent. You are provided with the current setting
(
ENABLED or DISABLED), and then prompted for changes.
While this is not recommended, you can disable the boot-time start activity of the VxDBA
Monitoring Agent that monitors the space usage of the file systems used by the Oracle instance.
Note If the space alarm is disabled and a file system that contains Storage Checkpoints runs out of
space, VxFS removes Storage Checkpoints to free up the space.
