Setting the default retention period

You can reset the default retention period of a SnapLock volume. You can do this to ensure that a retention period is assigned to all the WORM files on the volume even if users or the application failed to assign a retention period.

Step

1. To reset the SnapLock volume default retention period, enter the following command:vol options vol_name snaplock_default_period [period|min|max|infinite]

   vol_name is the SnapLock volume name.

   period is the retention period specified by a numeral, followed by days (d), months (m), or years (y). Alternatively, you can specify infinite which means that the files are committed to WORM state and retained forever. For details, see the na_vol(1) man page.

   min is the retention period specified by the snaplock_minimum_period option.

   max is the retention period specified by the snaplock_maximum_period option.

   Example

   The following command sets the default retention period equal to the minimum retention period:vol options wormvol1 snaplock_default_period min
