Hi Steffen,
we use snaplock as well. And yes it is true, the volumes inherit the settings from the aggregate. As your settings show your default snaplock period is 0 days (min). 0days means at least one day. So you should be able to change the data the next day. So the setting is correct. For CIFS and NTFS-sec-style there is a tool from netapp (snaplocker) which we got from one of our Netapp contacts. I think it is not available on NOW. With this tool you can change the retention time.
Afaik it is not possible to create vols without snaplock in an aggr with snaplock enabled.
Regards
Jochen

Hi all,
have anyone experienced snaplock enterprise?
I have a snaplock enterprise aggregate in which I create volumes. As far as I know the volume will inherit the snaplock enterprise. The compliance clock is also set.
--
The options of my testvol look like
xxxxxx> vol options testvol nosnap=off, nosnapdir=off, minra=off, no_atime_update=on, nvfail=off, ignore_inconsistent=off, snapmirrored=off, create_ucode=off, convert_ucode=off, maxdirsize=20971, schedsnapname=ordinal, fs_size_fixed=off, snaplock_enterprise, guarantee=volume, svo_enable=off, svo_checksum=off, svo_allow_rman=off, svo_reject_errors=off, no_i2p=off, fractional_reserve=100, snaplock_default_period=min, snaplock_minimum_period=0d, snaplock_maximum_period=30y, extent=off, try_first=volume_grow
snaplock options look like
xxxxxx> options snaplock snaplock.autocommit_period none snaplock.compliance.write_verify off

If I copy data in this volume (using cifs) and change the files to read only I can not change data any more. But the snaplock_minimum_period is set to 0 days.
Now my final question:
Is it not possible to create volumes within a snaplock enterprise aggregate without using snaplock enterprise?!
Do you have any hints?!
Regards,
Steffen
