6.3 HP StoreAll Storage File System User Guide (TA768-96093, June 2013)

You can configure the following:
• Default retention period. This period determines whether you can manage WORM
(non-retained) files as well as WORM-retained files. (WORM (non-retained) files can be deleted
at any time; WORM-retained files can be deleted only after the file's retention period has
expired.)
To manage only WORM-retained files, set the default retention period to a non-zero value.
WORM-retained files then use this period by default; however, you can assign a different
retention period if desired.
To manage both WORM (non-retained) and WORM-retained files, uncheck Set Default Retention
Period. The default retention period is then set to 0 seconds. When you make a WORM file
retained, you will need to assign a retention period to the file.
• Autocommit period. When the autocommit period is set, files become WORM or
WORM-retained if they are not changed during the 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.) To use this feature, check Set Auto-Commit
Period and specify the time period. The minimum value for the autocommit period is five
minutes, and the maximum value is one year. If you plan to keep normal files on the file system,
do not set the autocommit period.
• Data validation. Select this option to schedule periodic scans on the file system. Use the default
schedule, or click Modify to open the Data Validation Scan Schedule dialog box and configure
your own schedule.
