Managing Clients and Users

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 138.

For more information about quotas and how to set them, see “Setting User and Group

Quotas” on page 114.

You can also check user quotas using the

cvadmin quotas get

command in Terminal.

cvadmin

man page or “Viewing or Changing Volume

and Storage Pool Settings (cvadmin)” on page 164.
