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 or decreased only in the Enterprise and Compliance lockdown mode.
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:
If episodic replication is configured on a file system, the storage fs worm set <fs_name> and storage fs worm set <fs_name> <min_retention> <max_retention> commands are successful on the source cluster only if the destination cluster is reachable and vice-versa. After these commands are successfully executed, WORM is enabled and/or retention is set on the remote cluster as well.
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.
