HP StoreAll Storage - Manual (Page 138)

The retenMode option is required and is either enterprise or relaxed. You can specify any,
all, or none of the period options. retenDefPeriod is the default retention period,
retenMinPeriod
is the minimum retention period, and retenMaxPeriod is the maximum
retention period.
The retenAutoCommitPeriod option specifies that files will become WORM or WORM-retained
if they are not changed during the specified period. (If the default retention period is set to zero,
the files become WORM. If the default retention period is set to a value greater than zero, the files
become WORM-retained.) The minimum value for the autocommit period is five minutes, and the
maximum value is one year. If you plan to keep normal files on the file system, do not set the
autocommit period.
When using a period option, enter a decimal number, optionally followed by one of these
characters:
•
s (seconds)
•
m (minutes)
•
h (hours)
•
d (days)
•
w (weeks)
•
M (months)
•
y (years)
If you do not include a character specifier, the decimal number is interpreted as seconds.
The following example creates a file system with Enterprise mode retention, with a default retention
period of 1 month, a minimum retention period of 3 days, a maximum retention period of 5 years,
and an autocommit period of 1 hour:
ibrix_fs -o "retenMode=Enterprise,retenDefPeriod=1M,retenMinPeriod=3d,
retenMaxPeriod=5y,retenAutoCommitPeriod=1h" -c -f ifs1 -s ilv_[1-4] -a
Configuring data retention on existing file systems
NOTE: Data retention cannot be enabled on a file system created on X9000 software 5.6 or
earlier versions. Instead, create a new file system on X9000 software 6.0 or later, and then copy
or move files from the old file system to the new file system.
To enable or change the data retention configuration an existing file system, first unmount the file
system. Select Active Tasks > WORM/Data Retention from the lower Navigator, and then click
Modify on the WORM/Data Retention panel. You do not need to unmount the file system to change
the configuration for data validation or report data generation.
