Abstract
Example embodiments provide various techniques for provisioning a write once, read many (WORM) state. In one embodiment, an identifier is accessed. This identifier is assigned to a volume that is associated with an aggregate of storage devices and identifies a first type of the WORM state that is different from a second type of the WORM state associated with the aggregate. The first type of the WORM state is applied to the volume and the application results in different types of WORM states between the aggregate and the volume. Modification of data stored in the volume is then restricted based the first type of WORM state.
