Using Data Retention
The data retention and validation feature is intended for sites that need to archive read-only files
for business purposes. Data retention ensures that files cannot be modified or deleted for a specific
retention period. Data validation scans can be used to ensure that files remain unchanged. The
data retention and validation feature requires that the Agile Fusion Manager be configured on all
file serving nodes in the cluster.
Data retention must be enabled on a file system. When you enable data retention, you can specify
a retention profile that includes minimum, maximum, and default retention periods that specify how
long a file must be retained.
This section describes the general steps and commands that are required to use the data retention
feature on the StoreAll OS CLI.
1. Create a mounted file system on the StoreAll 9300 hosts using the LUNs that are exported to
the StoreAll 9300 from HP 3PAR. See “Mounting a File System” (page 28).
2. To enable data retention on the file system, you must first unmount the file system; see
“Unmounting a File System” (page 29). After unmounting the file system, you can use the
following command to enable data retention on the file system:
# ibrix_fs -W -f FSNAME -o OPTIONSLIST
For example, to enable data retention on the file system fs1 with OPTIONSLIST
retenMode=enterprise,retenDefPeriod=0s, issue the following command:
# ibrix_fs -W -f fs1 -o "retenMode=enterprise,retenDefPeriod=0s"
3. You can now create multiple files just as you do normal files, WORM files, and WORM
retained files. You can change a file to the WORM or WORM-retained state, view the retention
information associated with a file, and use administrative tools to manage individual files,
including setting or removing a legal hold, setting or removing a retention period, and
administratively deleting a file.
4. You can also delete the data retention enabled file system. To delete the file system, you must
first unmount the file system and then delete it using the following command:
# ibrix_fs -d -f FSNAME –R
For example, to delete a data retention enabled file system fs1, issue the following command:
# ibrix_fs -d -f fs1 -R
