# Updating a volume's cloud retrieval policy
<a name="set-cloud-retrieval"></a>

Use the `volume modify` ONTAP CLI command to set the cloud retrieval policy for an existing volume. For more information, see [https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-9111/volume-modify.html](https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-9111/volume-modify.html) in the NetApp ONTAP Documentation Center.

**To set a volume's cloud retrieval policy (ONTAP CLI)**

1. To access the ONTAP CLI, establish an SSH session on the management port of the Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file system or SVM by running the following command. Replace `management_endpoint_ip` with the IP address of the file system's management port.

   ```
   [~]$ ssh fsxadmin@management_endpoint_ip
   ```

   For more information, see [Managing file systems with the ONTAP CLI](managing-resources-ontap-apps.md#fsxadmin-ontap-cli). 

1. Enter the ONTAP CLI advanced mode using the following command.

   ```
   FSx::> set adv
   
   Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use them only when
        directed to do so by NetApp personnel.
   Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y
   ```

1. Use the following command to set the volume’s cloud retrieval policy, replacing the following values:
   + Replace *`svm_name`* with the name of the SVM that the volume is created on.
   + Replace *`vol_name`* with name of the volume for which you are setting the cloud retrieval policy.
   + Replace `retrieval_policy` with the desired value, either `default`, `on-read`, `never`, or `promote`.

   ```
   FSx::> volume modify -vserver svm_name -volume vol_name -cloud-retrieval-policy retrieval_policy
   ```

   The system responds as follows for a successful request.

   ```
   Volume modify successful on volume vol_name of Vserver svm_name.
   ```
