Page title
Set the ONTAP SnapLock retention time
Summary
The documentation page "Set the default retention period" appears to describe supported retention period ranges in a way that does not match the actual validation behavior of ONTAP.
The page currently lists the following supported values:
| Unit | Value |
|---|---|
| seconds | 0 - 65535 |
| hours | 0 - 24 |
| days | 0 - 365 |
| months | 0 - 12 |
| years | 0 - 100 |
However, when I actually tried to set it to "36 hours", I received the following error:
The duration value "PT36H" is invalid. Valid values are "min", "max", "infinite" or the duration specified in ISO 8601 format.
The value when specified in ISO 8601 format for retention period must be in seconds (PT0S - PT65535S), minutes (PT0M - PT60M), hours (PT0H - PT24H), days (P0D - P36500D), months (P0M - P1200M), years (P0Y - P100Y).
According to this error, the correct values are likely to be as follows:
| Unit | Value |
|---|---|
| seconds | 0 - 65535 |
| minutes | 0 - 60 |
| hours | 0 - 24 |
| days | 0 - 36500 |
| months | 0 - 1200 |
| years | 0 - 100 |

Verify the supported units and ranges, update the table to match confirmed behavior, and ensure the page accurately documents minutes and the larger day and month ranges.
