Checking User Quota Use
You can use Xsan Admin to check file system quotas to see how much of their
allotment users and groups are using.
To view quota utilization:
m Open Xsan Admin, select a volume in the SAN Components list, and click Quotas.
To be sure you’re seeing the latest information, click Refresh at the top of the window.
Xsan Admin lists the following information for each user or group:
Quota: The soft and hard quotas. For example, “75 – 100 MB” indicates a soft quota of
75 MB and a hard quota of 100 MB.
Used: The amount of space the user’s files are occupying.
Quota Status: Green indicates that the user or group is below the soft quota. Yellow
indicates usage exceeding the soft quota but for a time within the grace period. Red
indicates that usage now exceeds the hard limit because the soft quota was exceeded
beyond the grace period, after which the soft quota was changed to a hard quota.
You can set up Xsan to notify you by email or pager when a user or group exceeds a
specific percentage of the quota. See “Setting Up Status Notifications” on page 94.
For more information on quotas and how to set them, see “Setting User and Group
Quotas” on page 76.
