HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software - Manual (Page 66)

-retain <time>{h|H|d|D} Optional. Set or extend the retention time for
the specified virtual copy to the specified time.
The virtual copy cannot be removed during
this time period.
NOTE: Retention time restrictions are:
•
You must have a Virtual Lock license to
use the -retain option.
•
The minimum retention period is 1 hour;
the maximum is 43,800 hours/1,825
days (5 years).
•
The default retention time is 336 hours
(14 days).
•
This option cannot be used with -rc.
•
The retention time cannot exceed the
value of the StoreServ's
VVRetentionTimeMax.
•
You can set a retention time regardless
of whether the policy is numeric-based or
expiration-based.
•
The retention time cannot be longer than
the expiration time (if the policy is
expiration-based).
•
During remote virtual copy creation for
asynchronous periodic modes, the
retention time set at the secondary backup
server is used as the time based policy.
The policy set at primary backup server
is ignored. In case synchronous mode,
the retention value is applied to both the
local virtual copy and remote virtual copy.
Remote virtual copy creation cannot be
done if different values are set for
retention at primary backup server and
secondary backup server for synchronous
mode.
•
The retention time cannot be removed or
reduced after it is set.
•
To set no retention time for this virtual
copy, use a value of 0h.
-f Optional. When used with the -retain option,
does not request confirmation for the retention
time modification.
