Retention for the Hitachi fixed content device

The Hitachi fixed content device can operate in aligned or unaligned retention mode.

Retention in aligned mode

Retention is controlled by both Content Platform Engine and the Hitachi fixed content device. The following table compares the Content Platform Engine object retention setting for an object with the corresponding Hitachi retention setting applied to the object content.
Content Platform Engine object retention setting Hitachi object content retention setting
Not set Deletion allowed (0)
Permanent Deletion prohibited (-2)
Indefinite Initial unspecified (-1)
Date value Specific date value

Retention in unaligned mode

Retention is enforced by Content Platform Engine and is not applied to the Hitachi device. Although the object retention setting on Content Platform Engine can be set to any valid value, the retention setting for the corresponding object content is not changed on the fixed content device.
