ibrix_reten_adm
Manages retained and WORM files in a file system or directory enabled for data retention
IMPORTANT: Do not use the ibrix_reten_adm command on a file system that is not enabled
for data retention.
Description
Use the ibrix_reten_adm command to manipulate WORM and retained files. You can perform
the following tasks:
• Add or remove a legal hold on a WORM or retained file. While the hold is in effect, the file
cannot be deleted, even if the expiration period has expired.
• Reset the expiration time for a file, in effect increasing or decreasing the expiration period.
• Remove the retention period for retained files.
• Delete retained files administratively, regardless of whether the retention period has expired.
Synopsis
Deleting files administratively removes them from the file system, regardless of the data retention
policy applied to the files.
Set a legal hold on retained or WORM files:
ibrix_reten_adm -h -f FSNAME -P PATHLIST
A legal hold locks the file and the data retention policy in place on the file system will be ignored.
For example, the expiration time does not apply to the file.
Remove a legal hold on retained or WORM files:
ibrix_reten_adm -r -f FSNAME -P PATHLIST
When a legal hold is removed, the original data retention policy applies to the file.
Reset the expiration time for retained files:
ibrix_reten_adm -e expire_time -f FSNAME -P PATHLIST
See the Linux date(1) man page for a description of the valid date/time formats for the
expire_time parameter.
Remove the retention period for retained files:
ibrix_reten_adm -c -f FSNAME -P PATHLIST
Delete retained files:
ibrix_reten_adm -d -f FSNAME -P PATHLIST
