You can use user and group quotas to limit the amount of disk space or the number of files that a user or a user group can use. You can view user and user group quota information, such as the disk and file usage and the various limits set on disks.
More information
What quota limits are
User quota limits are values that the Unified Manager server uses to evaluate whether space consumption by a user is nearing the limit or has reached the limit that is set by the user’s quota. If the soft limit is crossed or if the hard limit is reached, the Unified Manager server generates user quota events.
Viewing user and user group quotas
The Storage Virtual Machine details page displays information about the user and user group quotas that are configured on the SVM. You can view the name of the user or user group, soft and hard limits set on the disks and files, used disk and file space, and disk threshold value.
Creating rules to generate email addresses
You can create rules to specify the email address based on the user quota associated with clusters, Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs), volumes, qtrees, users, or user groups. A notification is sent to the specified email address when there is a quota breach.
Editing user and group quota email addresses
You can modify the email addresses based on the user quota associated with clusters, Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs), volumes, qtrees, users, or user groups. You can modify the email address when you want to override the email address generated by rules specified in the Rules to Generate User and Group Quota Email Address dialog box.
Understanding more about quotas
Understanding the concepts about quotas helps you to manage your user quotas and user group quotas efficiently.
Description of quotas dialog boxes
You can use the appropriate Setup Options dialog box to configure the format of the email notification that is sent when a quota-related issue occurs and to configure rules to specify email addresses based on the user quota.
