How to configure quotas?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Quota
Description
- Quotas can be configured to allow specific users, groups or qtrees a specific disk limit or number of files limit.
- It is recommended to have a tracking quota on all the volumes with more specific quotas. This allows to add and remove rules without disabling/enabling quota afterwards as

resizeandonfail:
::> vol quota resize -vserver vs1 -volume volume
(volume quota resize)
Error: command failed: No valid quota rules found in quota policy default for
volume volume in Vserver vs1.
::> vol quota on -vserver vs1 -volume volume
(volume quota on)
Error: command failed: No valid quota rules found in quota policy default for
volume volume in Vserver vs1.
- For these commands to work, the Vserver must have at least one policy, and the policy has to have a rule that applies to the volume.
