A Manual Procedure

Allocate enough storage capacity for at least one week of audit records when audit records are not immediately sent to a central audit record storage facility.

If audit records are stored on a partition made specifically for audit records, resize the partition with sufficient space to contain one week of audit records.

If audit records are not stored on a partition made specifically for audit records, a new partition with sufficient space will need be to be created.
