File systems can only be enabled with file-level retention (FLR) capability at creation time.

When the file system is created and enabled for FLR, it is persistently marked as an FLR file

system and the FLR setting cannot be changed. After a file system is created and FLR is

enabled, an administrator can apply FLR protection to individual files. Files in the FLR

(locked) state can be stored with retention dates, which prohibit the deletion of the file until

expiration.

Using File-Level Retention on Celerra provides more information about FLR storage and FLR

file system behavior.  I have attached this for you, as well as documentation for managing

filesystems manually.

thanks Sebbyr

do you know how FMA /VE interact with this FLR file system using it as an archive repository.

with FMA i know that i can made retention on a file sytem created with o without FLR enabled option

how do you explain this.

i allready confirmed this using FLR toolkit to see those two files system that were used as repository on FMA

we made some testing saving files on both system files.

FLR toolkit show retention date on both two file systems, if i only enabled FLR option just in one.

Does FMA activate itselft FLR even when the file system were not created with that option

thank you
