Oh, and if you have a cluster mounted disk, you need to use sysman when changing the retention settings.  This is a persistent change, when the volume is mounted the next time, it will use the last setting from any node in the cluster, but it won't take effect immediately unless the set volume/ret is executed on each node, or you dismount/remount.

Also, it won't won't makes changes to a disk mounted /nowrite, but that should be obvious.

Example:

$ mc sysman set env/clu
%SYSMAN-I-ENV, current command environment:
        Clusterwide on local cluster
        Username JON          will be used on nonlocal nodes
 
SYSMAN> do set vol/ret=(0,0:0:0.01) disk$jscratch:
%SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node OMEGA
%SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node SIGMA
SYSMAN>  Exit 
$ sho sym dw
  DW == "DIRECTORY/SIZE=ALL/DATE/WIDTH=(FILE:38,SIZE:7)"
