Chapter 2: Planning for Using Disk S helves with a Gateway 23
Note
SnapLock Compliance prevents anyone, including the system administrator,
from destroying or altering files, volumes, or aggregates before they reach their
expiration date. SnapLock Compliance aggregates cannot be created for array
LUNs because government regulations require that the WORM data be protected
from alteration. Data ONTAP has no control over any changes to the array LUNs
that the storage array administrators might want to make. For example, a storage
array administrator could destroy an array LUN that Data ONTAP is using,
which would result in noncompliance.
For more information about SnapLock Compliance, see the Data ONTAP
Archive and Compliance Management Guide .
