Creating SnapLock traditional volumes

You can create SnapLock traditional volumes to retain compliance or archival data.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have licensed SnapLock Compliance, SnapLock Enterprise, or both.

Steps

  1. To initialize the ComplianceClock, enter the following command:date -c initialize
  2. To create a SnapLock traditional volume, enter the following command: vol create trad_vol -v -L snaplock_type ndisks[@disksize]

    trad_vol is the new traditional volume name.

    ndisks is the number of disks.

    disksize is the size of the disk.

    snaplock_type can be compliance or enterprise. If only one SnapLock type is enabled, you need not specify the attribute; however, you must use the attribute if you have enabled both SnapLock version licenses.

  3. Verify that the newly created SnapLock volume exists, by entering the following command: vol status

    Example

    sys1> vol status
          Volume State     Status        Options
          vol0 online      raid4, trad   root
          wormvol online   raid4, trad   no_atime_update=on,     
                                         snaplock_compliance
