I can't use snaplock feature even I add the snaplock license

hongboy — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:38:32 GMT

license: VSIM Licenses: 8.2.1RC1 licenses 7-Mode

http://support.netapp.com/NOW/download/tools/simulator/ontap/8.2.1RC1/7Mode_licenses_8.2.1RC1.txt

Issue : After I add the VSIM Licenses [ 8.2.1RC1 licenses 7-Mode ] to DataOntap. I run the command “snaplock clock initialize”, but the error said requires a snaplock or snaplock enterprise license.

As per my knowledge SnapLock is not supported in any Data ONTAP 8.0.x release. So even if you have license you cant use the feature .
