You can enable Storage lock in Commvault using the following procedure:
Procedure
-
From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Storage > Disk.
The Disk page appears.
-
Click the disk storage for which you want to configure WORM storage mode.
The disk storage page appears.
-
On the Configuration tab, in the Immutability section, do the following:
a. Move the Storage lock toggle key to the right.
The Retention rules page appears.
Notes
-
This action also enables Compliance lock on all associated backup destinations.
-
This action is irreversible and you cannot lower the retention.
-
If you enabled Storage lock unintentionally, we recommend you to create a new storage pool with a new storage pointing to a new container or bucket.
-
Enabling storage lock requires additional storage to retain immutable backup data during the retention period.
WORM storage optimization uses micro-pruning to improve storage reclamation for deduplicated data stored on WORM-enabled storage, allowing eligible data to be reclaimed at the job level while continuing to enforce retention and WORM lock requirements.
To enable WORM storage optimization, add the EnableOptimizedWORMStorageLock additional setting on the CommServe database and set its value to 1.
-
Warning: Associating Index backups and DDB backups to WORM copies is not recommended. Doing so can result in deletion attempt errors. Ensure these backups are not configured on WORM copies to avoid operational issues.
b. In the Retention period option, specify the amount of time to retain the backups, and then click OK.
The Do you want to enable storage lock? dialog box appears.
c. Select the options to confirm your agreement, type Confirm in the confirmation box, and then click CONFIRM.
