Description
In order to ensure VMMs have a sufficient storage capacity in which to write the audit logs, VMMs need to be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. The task of allocating audit record storage capacity is usually performed during initial installation of the VMM and should be based upon anticipated audit record volume. If a central audit record storage facility is available, the local storage capacity should be sufficient to hold audit records that would accumulate during anticipated interruptions in delivery of records to the facility.
