Committing files to WORM

You can use a command or program to commit files to WORM manually, or use the SnapLock autocommit feature to commit files to WORM automatically.

  • Committing files to WORM manually
    You commit a file to WORM manually by making the file read-only. You can use any suitable command or program over NFS or CIFS to change the read-write attribute of a file to read-only.
  • Autocommitting files to WORM
    The SnapLock autocommit feature enables you to commit files to WORM automatically.
  • Creating a WORM appendable file
    A WORM appendable file retains data written incrementally, like log entries. You can use any suitable command or program to create a WORM appendable file, or you can use the SnapLock volume append mode feature to create WORM appendable files by default.
