Create a user quota on a file system or quota tree

You can create user quotas on a file system or quota tree:

  • Create a user quota on a file system to limit or track the amount of storage space that an individual user consumes on that file system. When you create or modify a user quota on a file system, you have the option to use default hard and soft limits that are set at the file-system level.
  • Create a user quota on a quota tree to limit or track the amount of storage space that an individual user consumes on that tree. When you create a user quota on a quota tree, you have the option to use the default hard and soft limits that are set at the quota-tree level.

Format

/quota/user create [-async] {-fs <value> | -fsName <value>} [-path <value>] {-userId <value> | -unixName <value> | -winName <value>} {-default | [-softLimit <value>] [-hardLimit <value>]}

Action qualifiers

QualifierDescription
-asyncRun the operation in asynchronous mode.
-fsSpecify the ID of the file system that the quota will act upon. The file system cannot be read-only or a replication destination.
-fsNameSpecify the name of the file system that the quota will act upon. The file system cannot be read-only or a replication destination.
-path Specify either of the following:
  • If the user quota is for a file system, either do not use this qualifier, or set its value to /.
  • If the user quota is for a quota tree, specify the quota tree path relative to the root of the file system.
-userIdSpecify the user ID on the file system or quota tree.
-unixNameSpecify the UNIX user name associated with the specified user ID.
-winName

Specify the Windows user name associated with the specified user ID. The format is:

[<domain>\]<name>
-default

Inherit the default quota limit settings for the user. To view the default limits, use the following command:

/quota/config -fs <value> -path <value> show

If a soft limit or hard limit has not been specified for the user, the default limit is applied.

-softLimitSpecify the preferred limit on storage usage by the user. A value of 0 means no limitation. If the hard limit is specified and the soft limit is not specified, there will be no soft limitation.
-hardLimitSpecify the absolute limit on storage usage by the user. A value of 0 means no limitation. If the soft limit is specified and the hard limit is not specified, there will be no hard limitation.
NOTE:The hard limit should be larger than the soft limit.

Example

The following command creates a user quota for user 201 on file system res_1, quota tree /qtree_1. The new user quota has the following limits:

  • Soft limit is 20 GB.
  • Hard limit is 50 GB.
uemcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u Local/joe -p MyPassword456! /quota/user create -fs res_1 -path /qtree_1 -userId 201 -softLimit 20G -hardLimit 50G 
Storage system address: 10.64.75.201
Storage system port: 443
