Cohesity Data Cloud for NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide

Updating LSU WORM attributes

You can update LSU WORM attributes like WORM mode, minimum retention, and maximum retention after LSU creation.

To update LSU WORM attributes

  1. Log in to cluster node where the WORM LSU is configured.
  2. Run the following command to update the LSU WORM attributes of the LSU:

    iris_cli lsu update

    For example, to update maximum retention period for WORM, run the following command:

    iris_cli lsu update name=wormlsu worm-max-retention-secs=1728000

    Sample output:

    LSU ID                  : 13516
    LSU NAME                : wormlsu
    NBU DOMAIN NAME         : <domain-name>
    STORAGE DOMAIN ID       : 2
    WORM CONFIG:
      MODE                  : Enterprise
      MAX RETENTION IN SEC  : 1728000
      MIN RETENTION IN SEC  : 60
    
  3. On NetBackup primary server, run the following command to update the configuration:

    nbdevconfig -updatedv -stype SpanFS -dp spanfs-worm-dp -dv wormlsu

  4. Run the following command to verify that maximum retention period for WORM is updated:

    nbdevconfig -previewdv -storage_server 10.84.87.59 -stype SpanFS -U
