Output parameters for the fingerprint operation

The fingerprint operation provides the output parameters of a file, such as general information about the fingerprint operation, volume information, file information, and system information.

General information about the fingerprint operation
  • Fingerprint algorithm: the algorithm used for the fingerprint operation.
  • File fingerprint scope: the scope provided for the input parameter. It can be data, metadata, or both (data and metadata).
  • File fingerprint version: the version of the file fingerprint. Currently, Data ONTAP uses version 2.
  • File fingerprint start and stop time: the start and stop time of the file fingerprint calculation.
  • Readable format of the fingerprint start and stop times.
  • Path: the path of the file on which the file fingerprint calculation was performed.
System information
  • FilerID: the NVRAM ID of the storage system.
  • Filer-name: the name of the storage system.
  • SnapLock license: the type of SnapLock license enabled on your system(SnapLock Compliance or SnapLock Enterprise).
  • snaplock-system-compliance-clock: The system ComplianceClock time.
  • Readable format of system ComplianceClock time.
Volume information
  • Volume name: the name of the volume to which a file belongs.
  • Volume-uuid: the universal unique identifier for the volume.
  • Volume type: the type of volume (traditional or flexible).
  • volume-containing-aggregate: the name of the containing aggregate if it is a flexible volume.
  • Aggregate uuid: the universal unique identifier for the aggregate if the volume is a flexible volume.
  • SnapLock-volume-type: the type of SnapLock volume. This information is present for SnapLock volumes only. Possible values are-compliance or enterprise.
  • snaplock-volume-compliance-clock: the volume ComplianceClock time.
  • Volume expiry date: the expiry date of the volume.
  • Fsid: the file system ID for the file.
  • is-volume-expiry-date-wraparound: volume-expiry-date is a wraparound format. The wraparound format indicates that dates after 19 January 2038 are mapped from 01/01/1970 - 12/31/2002 to 01/19/2038 - 01/19/2071. This field is included only if volume-expiry-date is part of file-fingerprint output. It is present only for SnapLock volumes.
  • formatted-volume-expiry-date: the expiry date of the SnapLock volume is in the format day month date hour: minutes: second year in the GMT time zone. A value of infinite indicates that the volume has an infinite expiry date. A value of scan_is_pending_or_in_progress indicates that the expiry date is not displayed because a WORM scan is in progress or pending on the volume. A value of no_expiry_date indicates that the expiry date is not displayed because the SnapLock volume has no WORM files and WORM .This field is not included if the volume is offline or the volume is a non-SnapLock volume.
File information
  • Path: the path of the file on which the fingerprint operation was performed.
  • Fileid: the unique ID of the file within the file system.
  • File type: the file type, for example, WORM, WORM appendable, WORM log, or non-SnapLock file.
  • File size: the size of the file in bytes.
  • creation time: creation time of the file in seconds in standard UNIX format. Time is taken from system clock at the time of file creation.
  • Formatted-creation-time: creation time of the file formatted in human-readable format day month date hour: minutes:seconds year in GMT time zone.
  • Modified time: last modification time of file in seconds in the standard UNIX format. Time is taken from system clock at the last time the file was modified.
  • Formatted-modified-time: last modification time of the file formatted in human-readable format day month date hour: minutes: seconds year in GMT time zone.
  • Changed-time: last changed time of the file attributes in seconds in standard UNIX format. For WORM files, the last change time for file attributes occurs when file is committed to WORM state. The time is taken from volume ComplianceClock when committing it to WORM.
  • is-changed-time-wraparound: this parameter is displayed True if the date represented in "changed-time" is in wraparound format. The wraparound format indicates that dates from 1/19/2038-01/19/2071 are mapped to 01/01/1970-12/31/2002
  • Formatted change time: last changed time of the file in human-readable format day month date hour: minutes: seconds year in GMT time zone.
  • Retention time: retention time of the file in seconds in standard UNIX format. This field is not displayed for regular files, files on non-SnapLock volumes and files with infinite retention. The flag is-wraparound indicates that retention is in the wraparound format. The time is computed with volume ComplianceClock as the reference time.
  • is-wraparound: is displayed True if the date represented in retention-time is in wraparound format. The wraparound format indicates that dates from 1/19/2038-01/19/2071 are mapped to 01/01/1970-12/31/2002.
  • Formatted-retention-time: expiry date of the WORM file formatted in a human-readable format. This takes care of wraparound dates and prints the expiry date of a file in the format day month date hour: minutes: seconds year in GMT time zone. A value as infinite indicates that the file has infinite retention time. This field is not included for regular files and files on a non-SnapLock volumes.
  • Owner ID: the ID of the owner for the file.
  • Group ID: the group ID for the file.
  • Data fingerprint: the string format of the fingerprint calculated for the file data. Valid if the scope selected is for data or for both data and metadata.
  • Metadata fingerprint: the string format for the fingerprint for the file metadata. Not valid if the scope selected is only data.
  • The output parameter also indicates the retention time and wraparound information. This field is valid only for WORM files.
