Checking or setting the retention periods on the new volume

Clone volumes and volume copies automatically inherit the retention periods from their parent volumes. For this reason, this step is usually a check. You can change the retention periods for the new volume.

Steps

1. To see the retention periods on the old volume, enter the following command:vol options sec_vol
2. To see the retention periods on the new volume, enter the same command for the new volume: vol options altvol
3. Compare the output from the two volumes to ensure that they are the same.
4. If you want to change the retention periods, enter one or more of the following commands: vol options altvol snaplock_default_period periodvol options altvol snaplock_maximum_period period vol options altvol snaplock_miniumum_period period

   where period is the retention period.

   To learn about retention period values, see the na_vol(1) man page.
