Docuement Retention period range in Simulator 7.3.2

Our product is designed to archive to NetApp volume with the user specified retention period. In the current implementation, we do not validate if the user defined retention period falls within the retention period range of the NetApp volume being archived to and is expected that the user verifies and provides the right retention period.

Questions:

·         The programmatically (user defined) provided retention period does not fall within the retention period range of the NetApp volume being archived to. Which one takes precedence?

Example:

If max. retention of the NetApp volume is 8 days and user provided retention is 10 days.

If min. retention of the NetApp volume is 5 days and user provided retention is 3 days.

·         The programmatically (user defined) provided retention period falls within the retention period range of the NetApp volume being archived to. However, at a later point in time, the retention period of the NetApp volume is reduced to a number shorter than the programmatically (user defined) provided retention. Which one takes precedence?

Example:

Initially if max. retention of the NetApp volume is 8 days and user provided retention is 7 days. And, later max. retention of the NetApp volume is reduced to 5 day

Thanks for the help.
