Enabling the privileged delete feature

You must explicitly enable the privileged delete feature on the Enterprise volume that contains the WORM files you want to delete.

About this task

The value of the -privileged-delete option determines whether privileged delete is enabled. Possible values are enabled, disabled, and permanently-disabled.

Note
permanently-disabled is the terminal state. You cannot enable privileged delete on the volume after you set the state to permanently-disabled.
Enable privileged delete for a SnapLock Enterprise volume: volume snaplock modify -vserver SVM_name -volume volume_name -privileged-delete disabled|enabled|permanently-disabled

Example

The following command enables the privileged delete feature for the Enterprise volume dataVol on the SVM SVM1 :
SVM1::> volume snaplock modify -vserver SVM1 -volume dataVol -privileged-delete enabled
