3. In the Quotas panel, select defuser and click Modify. The Modify Quota dialog box opens. 4. In the dialog box, specify the following configuration settings: • Quota size and units (MB, GB, or TB) • In-use space warning limit, as a percentage of the quota size 5. Click OK. Delete a NAS Container Quota You cannot delete the default group quota or the default user quota. To disable a default quota, set the quota size and the warning limit to zero. To delete a NAS container quota: 1. Click NAS, expand NAS Clusters and Local Containers, and then select the NAS container name. 2. Click the Quota tab. 3. In the Quotas panel, select the quota target and click Delete. 4. Confirm that you want to delete the quota. About Quota Directories A quota directory is a directory that accounts for the size of files and directories under it by enforcing limits on them. A quota directory provides a more granular approach for controlling space usage by a specific directory within a NAS container. You can mark a directory as a quota directory to limit the total amount of space that the directory uses within the NAS container. Quota directories work with user and group quotas, along with any capacity restrictions applied to the NAS container itself. Configuring Quota Directories NOTE: • You can create multiple quota directories, but nesting quota directories is not supported. • Quota rules can be set on empty directories only. After you set a rule, it can be edited or deleted. If you delete the quota rule, the directory reverts back to normal directory behavior. You configure quota directories in the Group Manager CLI using the following commands (quota directories cannot be configured in the Group Manager GUI): • nas-cluster select cluster_name container select container_name quota-dir create directory_name soft_limit hard_limit NOTE: You must specify the maximum size for a particular directory with the hard_limit variable. Optionally, you can use the soft_limit variable to specify a size that is less than the hard-limit size. • nas-cluster select cluster_name container select container_name quota-dir show • nas-cluster select cluster_name container select container_name quota-dir modify • nas-cluster select cluster_name container select container_name quota-dir delete The create command sets the quota rule for a directory. See the Dell EqualLogic Group Manager CLI Reference Guide for more information about these commands. Quotas and NAS Containers Administrators use different quota mechanisms to regulate and monitor space usage within the NAS containers, such as user quotas, group quotas, and quota directories. User quotas are applied differently, depending on whether the promoted replica container uses external authentication, local authentication, or a combination of the two. 208 NAS Container Operations
