Enabling WORM on a file system
You can enable WORM on a file system using the storage fs worm commands.
storage> fs worm set <fs_name> [minret] [maxret]
Where
fs_name | Specifies the name of the file system |
minret | Specifies the minimum time period of retention. It can contain: [1-9](s|S|h|H|d|D|m|M|y|Y) |
maxret | Specifies the maximum time period of retention. It can contain: [1-9](s|S|h|H|d|D|m|M|y|Y) |
The minimum and maximum retention period of a file system can be increased in the Enterprise and Compliance lockdown mode but it can be decreased only in the Enterprise lockdown mode. The range of the minimum and maximum retention period should be between 1 hour and 60 years.
If the minimum retention and maximum retention values are provided with suffix as M or m, the retention period is converted to seconds using the following the calculations:
Days in a year: 365 Days in a month: 31 Seconds in a day: 24*60*60
You can also check if a particular file system is WORM-enabled.
storage> fs worm get
You cannot rename a folder on a WORM-enabled file system.
Note:
The storage fs worm set <fs_name> and storage fs worm set <fs_name> <min_retention> <max_retention> commands fail to set WORM on the file system if continuous replication is configured on a file system. If you want to set WORM on the file system, you have to disable continuous replication.
You can enable WORM on a file system using the Access Appliance GUI.
