Output parameters for the fingerprint operation

The fingerprint operation provides the output parameters of a file, such as general information about the fingerprint operation, volume information, file information, and system information.

The following table describes the output parameters.

Output parameter	Description
General information about the fingerprint operation	Fingerprint algorithm: the algorithm that was used for calculation. File fingerprint scope: The scope provided for the input parameter. It can be data, metadata or both (data and metadata). File fingerprint version: the version of the file fingerprint. In Data ONTAP 7.3.1, it is version 1. File fingerprint start and stop time: the start and stop time of the file fingerprint calculation. Readable format of the fingerprint start and stop times. Path: the path of the file for which the file fingerprint calculation was done.
System information	FilerID: the NVRAM ID of the storage system. Filer-name: the name of the storage system. SnapLock license: the type of SnapLock license (SnapLockCompliance or SnapLock Enterprise). ComplianceClock time: the time of the ComplianceClock in the system. It is valid only if the ComplianceClock is set on the storage system. Readable format of ComplianceClock time.
Volume information	Volume name: the name of the volume to which a file belongs. Volume-uuid: the universal unique identifier for the volume. Volume type: the type of volume (traditional or flexible). Aggregate name for flexible volume: the name of the containing aggregate if it is a flexible volume. Aggregate uuid: the universal unique identifier for the aggregate if the volume is a flexible volume. Volume expiry date: the expiration date of the volume. Fsid: the file system ID for the file. is-volume-expiry-date-wraparound: volume-expiry-date is a wraparound format. The wraparound format indicates that dates after 01/19/2038 are mapped from 01/01/1970 - 12/31/2002 to 01/19/2038 - 01/19/2071. The field is not included if volume-expiry-date is not included. It is present only for SnapLock volumes. formatted-volume-expiry-date: Expiry date of the SnapLock volume is of the format <day> <month> <day of month> <hour> : <min>: <sec> <year> in GMT time zone. A value of infinite indicates that the volume has an infinite expiry date. A value of scan_in_progress indicates that the expiry date is not displayed because a WORM scan is in progress on the volume. A value of no_expiry_date indicates that the expiry date is not displayed because the SnapLock volume has no WORM files and WORM Snapshot copies. This field is not included if the volume is offline or the volume is a non-SnapLock volume. SnapLock-volume-type: the type of SnapLock volume. This information is present for SnapLock volumes only. Possible values: compliance or enterprise. Readable format of volume expiry date and time.
File information	Path: the path of the file for which the fingerprint calculation was performed. Fileid: the unique ID of the file within the file system. File type: the file type, for example, WORM, WORM appendable, WORM log, or regular file. File size: the size of the file in bytes. Formatted change time: the time when the inode of a file was changed. File creation time: the time when the file was created. Formatted-creation-time File last modified time: the last time the file was modified. Formatted-modified-time Last accessed time: the last time the file was accessed. This will be displayed only for non-WORM files and files on non-SnapLock volumes. Retention time is-wraparound Formatted change time: the last time the attribute of the file was changed. Owner ID: the ID of the owner for the file. Group ID: the group ID for the file. Owner SID: the owner's Secure ID if Windows NT security is present for the file. Data fingerprint: the string format of the fingerprint calculated for the file data. Valid if the scope selected is for data or for both data and metadata. Metadata fingerprint: the string format for the fingerprint for the file metadata. Not valid if the scope selected is only data. The output parameter also indicates the retention time and wraparound information. This field is valid only for WORM files. Note: You cannot compute a fingerprint on the symbolic link of the file. Data ONTAP 7.3.1 supports the fingerprint operation only on one file. If the fingerprint operation is supported on multiple files, the output parameter displays the file information related to those files also.
