Extend the cloud immutable volume live duration automatically

A cloud immutable volume that has an object locking set has an expiration date. After the expiration date, the cloud immutable volume is not protected. However, the live duration of the cloud immutable volume is extended automatically to the maximum value that you have set in the volume configuration.

The automatic extension of the cloud immutable volume live duration is enabled by default. To disable it, update the configuration file /etc/pdregister.cfg. In this file, set the value of wormcldAutoExtendEnable parameter to 0. You can find this parameter under OpenCloudStorageDaemon section.

In the Amazon S3 storage, if you turn on bucket policy, the MSDP cloud does not have permissions to extend the cloud immutable volume live duration and the automatic extension is disabled. In this case, you must use msdpcldutil to extend the live duration of the cloud immutable volume manually.
