PowerScale OneFS 9.8.0.0 Web Administration Guide

Compliance mode

SmartLock compliance mode enables you to protect your data in compliance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule 17a-4. Rule 17a-4 is aimed at securities brokers and dealers, and specifies that records of all securities transactions must be archived in a nonrewritable, nonerasable manner.

NOTE:You can configure a PowerScale cluster for SmartLock compliance mode only during the initial cluster configuration process, before you activate a SmartLock license. A cluster cannot be converted to SmartLock compliance mode after the cluster is initially configured and put into production.

Configuring a cluster for SmartLock compliance mode disables the root user. You cannot to log in to that cluster through the root user account. Instead, you can log in to the cluster through the compliance administrator account that is configured during initial SmartLock compliance mode configuration.

When you are logged in to a SmartLock compliance mode cluster through the compliance administrator account, you can perform administrative tasks through the sudo command.
