Request for default logsize of lvmgs change

I request to change the product specification that the default size of lvmgs.log.
It's defined in the SWservAt ODM as 204800 bytes, so please change the size as 20971520 bytes.
Also, I want to confirm the range of lvmgs.log size you can design.

    This functionality is already available, refer to alog man page
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_71/a_commands/alog.html

    ex:
    To change the size of the lvmgs log to 20971520 bytes and reflect the new size in ODM, enter:

    alog -C -t lvmgs -s 20971520
    echo "Changed log size" | alog -t lvmgs -s 20971520
