To reset the expiration time using the CLI:
ibrix_reten_adm -e expire_time -f FSNAME -P PATHLIST
If you specify an interval such as 20m (20 minutes) for the expire_time, the retention expiration
time is set to that amount of time in the future starting from now, not that amount of time from the
original start of retention. If you specify an exact date/time such as 19:20:02 or 2/16/2012 for
the expire_time, the command sets the retention expiration time to that exact time. If the new
exact date/time is in the past, the file immediately expires from retention and becomes WORM,
but it is no longer retained.
See the Linux date(1) man page for a description of the valid date/time formats for the
expire_time
parameter.
Removing the retention period
When you remove the retention period from a retained file, the file becomes a WORM file. On
the WORM/Data Retention – File Administration dialog box, select Remove Retention Period and
specify the appropriate file.
To remove the retention period using the CLI:
ibrix_reten_adm -c -f FSNAME -P PATHLIST
Removing the WORM attribute from a file
You cannot remove the WORM attribute from a file. If you need to modify a WORM file that has
been retained, copy the file elsewhere, delete the original file (administratively if necessary), then
copy the file back as a normal file.
Deleting a file administratively
This option allows you to delete a file that is under the control of a data retention policy. On the
WORM/Data Retention – File Administration dialog box, select Administrative Delete and specify
the appropriate file.
CAUTION: Deleting files administratively removes them from the file system, regardless of the
data retention policy.
