Setting retention on a directory path does not work from the Access Appliance command-line interface

If you set retention on any directory path using the Storage> fs retention set <absolute directory path> command from the Access Appliance command-line interface, the command fails.

For example :

Storage> fs retention set /vx/test_fs/
			

Where /vx/test_fs/ is the directory path.

This is because of an internal issue. But, it is possible to set retention individually on the files present in a particular directory.

Workaround:

Set retention on the files present in the directory by using the Storage> fs retention set <absolute file path> command.

Storage> fs retention set /vx/test_fs/file1
			

Where /vx/test_fs/file1 is the file path.
