Exclude components from write protection

Article summary

You can exclude specific components from a write-protected directory or volume.

Run this command at the command prompt.
sadmin write-protect -e pathname1 ... pathnameN
When you specify a file path to be excluded from a write-protected component, write protection is removed from only that specific file.
Specify the complete path for the components to be excluded from write protection. For example:
- # sadmin write-protect -e /etc/security/limits.conf
