Do you have a licenses for it applied?

But there's two types. Snaplock Enterprise (SLE) and Snaplock Compliance (SLC).

SLE - has a privilege delete option.

SLC- has no delete, no undo, once the data is locked there is no deleting it or wiping the drives even.

Thanks SpindleNinja

How can i check a snaplock's license?

Another question... how is working a snapmirror's policy?

You can run "license show" from the CLI.

There's also a spot in the GUI -> Cluster -> Settings -> Licenses

You can also check what shipped with it via my support.netapp.com -> Systems -> Software license

If you don't have it you can work with your Partner or NetApp account team to request a quote or trial.

And yes you can use snapmirror with snaplock, but there are a few things to know.
