Manage immutable files for a volume in BlueXP workload factory

Contributors netapp-rlithman

You can update certain immutable files settings for a volume when the feature is enabled, such as the retention policy and periods, the autocommit period, and volume append mode.

Note that enabling immutable files is only possible during volume creation.

Steps

  1. Log in using one of the console experiences.

  2. In Storage, select Go to storage inventory.

  3. Select the Volumes tab.

  4. In the Volumes tab, select the three dots menu of the volume to clone.

  5. Select Data protection actions, then Manage immutable files.

  6. On the Manage Immutable files page, you can update the following:

    • Retention period: select Unspecified or Specify period.

      • Unspecified: The default minimum period is "0" years and the default maximum period is "30 years".

      • Specify period: Option to define the retention policy, minimum and maximum periods, the autocommit feature, and the volume append mode feature. Provide the following details:

        • Retention policy: This period must be greater than or equal to the minimum retention period and less than or equal to the maximum retention period.

        • Minimum and maximum periods: Set the minimum and maximum periods to commit files in this volume to an immutable WORM state.

    • Autocommit: enable or disable the feature to automatically commit files to WORM that haven't been modified during the Autocommit period.

    • Volume append mode: enable or disable the feature. Enabling volume append mode enables you to add new content to WORM files.

  7. Click Apply.

Result

The updates now apply to the volume.
