6.5 HP StoreAll OS CLI Reference Guide

Create a file system from the specified physical volumes in one step:
ibrix_fs -c -f FSNAME -p PVLIST [-a] [-q] [-o
OPTION1=VALUE1,OPTION2=VALUE2,...] [-t TIERNAME]
The file system is created from the physical volumes in PVLIST. One volume group is created per
physical volume. Segments are then created from the volume groups and assigned to file serving
nodes in a round-robin manner.
Create a file system and enable data retention:
Enter the following command and specify the applicable settings with the -o option:
ibrix_fs -c -W -o
"retenMode=<mode>,retenDefPeriod=<period>,retenMinPeriod=<period>,
retenMaxPeriod=<period>,retenAutoCommitPeriod=<period>"
The retenMode option is required and is either enterprise or relaxed. You can specify any,
all, or none of the period options. retenDefPeriod is the default retention period,
retenMinPeriod is the minimum retention period, and retenMaxPeriod is the maximum
retention period.
To manage both WORM (non-retained) and WORM-retained files, set the default retention period
to 0 (zero), meaning there is no default retention period. When you make a WORM file retained,
you will need to assign a retention period to the file.
If you define the default retention period or set a value for that period, then when such a file
becomes WORM, it will also become retained, and thus it cannot be deleted for the default retention
period. Such a file can be removed administratively using the ibrix_reten_adm CLI command.
If you choose to enable auto-commit, realize that after the auto-commit period of no file system
activity on the object, it will become WORM automatically. If a default retention period is also
defined, it will also become retained.
The retenAutoCommitPeriod option specifies that files will become WORM or WORM-retained
if they are not changed during the specified period. (If the default retention period is set to zero,
the files become WORM. If the default retention period is set to a value greater than zero, the files
become WORM-retained.) The minimum value for the autocommit period is five minutes, and the
maximum value is one year. When autocommit is used, you do not need to manually set a file to
read-only to make it a WORM file. If you plan to keep normal files on the file system, do not set
the autocommit period.
When using a period option, enter a decimal number, optionally followed by one of these
characters:
• s (seconds)
• m (minutes)
• h (hours)
• d (days)
• w (weeks)
• M (months)
• y (years)
If you do not include a character specifier, the decimal number is interpreted as seconds.
When included in the ibrix_fs -c command, the following example creates a file system with
Enterprise mode retention, with a default retention period of 1 month, a minimum retention period
of 3 days, a maximum retention period of 5 years, and an autocommit period of 1 hour:
ibrix_fs -c -W -o
"retenMode=enterprise,retenDefPeriod=1M,retenMinPeriod=3d,
retenMaxPeriod=5y, retenAutoCommitPeriod=1h"
