SDK 5.6 Java on Ontap 9.0P1: file-set-snaplock-retention-time fails

ohaensel — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 15:07:39 GMT

Hello,

one of my software partners integrates their archiving software with the new Ontap 9.0 and 9.1 and SnapLock.

Using the simulator under 9.1 works well.

However the API file-set-snaplock-retention-time fails with this error message: netapp.manage.NaAPIFailedException: Read-only file system (errno=13001)

customer system: Ontap 9.0P1, volume with security style unix and access via NFS.

Any idea what's wrong here?

Best regards

Oliver

Hi Oliver,

Are you sure the that file-set-snaplock-retention-time is the correct one.

I saw this one exists on SDK

 <snaplock-set-file-retention>
    <file></file>
    <retention-time></retention-time>
    <set-infinite-retention></set-infinite-retention>
  </snaplock-set-file-retention>

It turns out that the API returns the error when you try to set a retention-time that is smaller than the retention-time that is already present on the file.
