We currently have EV 7.5 SP2 (upgraded since KVS, and EV 6.0 SP3) archiving to a Centera (Goverance Edition) and a replica at our DR location. Up to this point we have wanted to keep everything forever. Management has made the decision that we only need to keep the past 3 years. We are exploring storage expiry and have many questions. Here are our configs:
- Governance Edition Centeras (primary and replica)
- Vault Store Partition retention properties - Never
- Expiry - Never run
- Retention Categories - 5 years
So my question is, are we able to run the Expiry in report mode and trust that the "number of items to expire" will run as it suggests or will the deletes get blocked by the Centera? Also, is there any way to see a history of the Retention Category value? I know that this value (retention period) is retroactive and I believe it is stamped on the C-Clip when it gets ingested into the Centera, but how can I see if/when that value was changed in the Admin Console? I tried simulating in my test environment but receive 6605, 6761 and 6883 Storage Delete errors.
Lastly, in the Expiry process, does EV remove the item from the database, then the index, then the storage or does it check the storage first and fail if it hasn't reached it's retention period?
Thanks,
Greg

One thing to remember though is to expire based off of Archive Date and NOT Modified/Sent date as centera will only use archive date to base its expiry on.
Does this apply to a Centera running in Basic mode ? If so can you send me the link or where this is explained as I haven't come across this fact before and I have a customer using Storage Deletion on Centera using Modified Date ...they are not going to get the result they expect :)
