Creating, viewing, or modifying NetApp SnapLock stores

A repository can have multiple SnapLock stores. For ease of administration, maintenance, and management, it is recommended that you use the same plug-in for all the SnapLock stores.

To create, view, or modify a NetApp SnapLock store:

Connect to the repository, where you want to create, view or modify NetApp SnapLock store.
Select Administration > File Management > Storage.
The Storage list page displays.
Do one of the following:
- To create an NetApp SnapLock store, select File > New > NetApp SnapLock Store.
- To view or modify an existing NetApp SnapLock store, select a NetApp SnapLock store, then select View > Properties > Info.
Enter information on the New NetApp SnapLock Store - Info page to create a NetApp SnapLock store, or view or modify the information on the NetApp SnapLock Store Properties - Info page.
Some of the fields cannot be modified for an existing NetApp SnapLock store. Table 11.8 describes all NetApp SnapLock store properties.
