Quotas
provide a way to restrict or track the disk space and number of files used by a
user, group, or qtree. You can use quotas to limit resource usage, to provide
notification when resource usage reaches specific levels, or to track resource
usage.
Quotas can
be of different type such as, user, group, or tree. Quota targets specify the
user, group, or qtree for which the quota limits are applied.
This
workflow enables you to implement the set, resize, and delete quota features. Before
executing these features, you can create a new qtree or select an existing
qtree on CDOT according to user request.
The Quota
management workflow enables you to create tree and user quota type. When you
provide the Username parameter, the workflow will set a user quota.
You can
use the Quota Management workflow to create quota rules. However, you cannot
create quota policies.
You can
use this workflow to perform the following actions:
·
Create a new
qtree, set and initialize quota
·
Set quota
for existing qtree or user and re-initialize
·
Resize
quota for existing qtree or user
·
Delete
quota
You must ensure that certain requirements are met before

WFA.
·
You must add your cluster as a data source

You must have re-set and acquired the scheme before execution.
·
Cluster data source must be acquired when manual acquisition is happened on OCUM.
·
You must have assigned quota policy to
