Manage quotas

Quotas help you monitor and analyze the current or historic use of disk storage. You can search for quotas, and modify, delete, and unlink quotas.

You must run an initial QuotaScan job for the default or scheduled quotas to prevent displaying incomplete data.

Before you modify a quota, consider how the changes will affect the file system and end users.

For information about the parameters and options that you can use for this procedure, run the isi quota quotas list --help command.

NOTE:
  • You can edit or delete a quota report only when the quota is not linked to a default quota.
  • You can unlink a quota only when the quota is linked to a default quota.
  1. To monitor and analyze current disk storage, run the isi quota quotas view command.
    The following example provides current usage information for the root user on the specified directory and includes snapshot data. For more information about the parameters for this command, run the isi quota quotas list --help command.
    isi quota quotas list -v --path=/ifs/data/quota_test_2 \ 
      --include-snapshots="yes"
  2. To view all information in the quota report, run the isi quota reports list command.
    To view specific information in a quota report, run the isi quota quotas list --help command to view the filter parameters. The following command lists all information in the quota report:
    isi quota reports list -v
  3. Optional: To delete a quota, run the isi quota quotas delete command.
    The following command deletes the specified directory-type quota. For information about parameters for this command, run the isi quota quotas delete --help command:
    isi quota quotas delete /ifs/data/quota_test_2 directory
  4. To unlink a quota, run the isi quota quotas modify command.
    The following command example unlinks a user quota:
    isi quota quotas modify /ifs/dir-1 user --linked=false --user=admin
    NOTE: Configuration changes for linked quotas must be made on the parent (default) quota that the linked quota is inheriting from. Changes to the parent quota are propagated to all children. If you want to override configuration from the parent quota, you must first unlink the quota.
