Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • SnapLock Compliance aggregate

Answer

  • You can only recover the SnapLock Compliance aggregate if you have backed up the cluster configuration. If a cluster backup is available, please restore the cluster from the backup.
  • If you don't have a cluster backup and the cluster has been wiped, the SnapLock Compliance aggregate will remain locked to the disks and remain in an unrecoverable state.
  • The only thing which can be recovered is the access to the Data,  the SnapLock Compliance lock remains and can not be overwritten.
  • NetApp Support can not provide a Procedure to wipe or delete data with Snaplock Compliance Lock.
