Answer

  • Staging volumes stores metadata of audit records of data access on a data volume belonging to an SVM on that aggregate.

  • The creation of staging volumes is transparent to end users. After the creation of an audit policy on any one SVM in the cluster, a staging volume is created on all the aggregates in the cluster. From then on, all other SVMs use the existing staging volumes.

  • Each staging volume consumes 2GB of free space and needs to be provisioned during configuration.

  • Staging volumes are created under a cluster SVM context, not under the data SVM context.

  • A staging volume can be accessed only by the vserver administrator. The vserver administrator can resize the staging volume in diag-mode by using the vol resize option.
