The FileStore DAR feature is optimized for use with Symantec Enterprise Vault, but you can use DAR to enable WORM capability in non-EV enviornments.

To enable WORM capability on a CIFS volume:

Use the Storage> dar enable command to enable DAR on a CIFS file system.
See Configuring data archive and retention.
Use CIFS operations to perform the following:
- Create a file.
- Add data to the file.
- As required for WORM compliance, set the file access time (atime) to some date in the future.
- Set the file permissions to read-only (RO).
The file will be WORM-compliant until the retention time expires.

Note:

This procedure applies to CIFS volumes only. NFS volumes are not supported at this time.
