Extending the Data Retention Term
If you change the access attribute of a volume to Read Only or Protect, you will usually be prohibited from
changing the access attribute to Read/Write for a certain period of time. The Data Retention window
displays the words Retention Term to indicate the period during which you are prohibited from changing
the access attribute to Read/Write. The following procedure enables you to extend the retention term.
Important: Data Retention Utility does not enable you to shorten the retention term. To shorten the
retention term, you must ask your HP service representative to do so.
To extend the retention term of a volume:
1. Ensure that you are in Modify mode. For detailed information, see the HP StorageWorks
XP24000 Remote Web Console User’s Guide.
2. In the Data Retention window ( Figure 1 on page 15), select an LDKC number from the LDKC
drop-down list.
3. From the CU Group drop-down list, select a group to which a CU belongs.
The tree displays a list of CUs in the specified CU group.
