2-110 Sun StorEdge 5310 NAS Troubleshooting Guide • December 2004
The primary interface for quota administration is the StorEdge Web Admin. To use
the Web Admin, connect with a Web browser to http://<hostname or IP address of
your StorEdge>. Click “Grant” or “Yes” to accept any Java software authorization
windows and you will reach the login screen. Type the administrator password to
access the administration interface.
First, navigate to File Volume Operations/Edit Properties. There you will find a
checkbox to enable quotas. You must highlight each volume to enable or disable
quotas for that volume.
Next, navigate to File Volume Operations/Manage Quotas/Configure Group and
User Quotas. This brings up a screen which displays all current user quotas, and
current disk space and file allocation for each user. Radio buttons at the top of the
screen allow you to switch between group and user quota information.
The first line in the display is an entry for root. The purpose of this is to display
statistics on files owned by the root user. It is not possible to set a quota for the root
user.
The second line in the display is the default quota. Newly added users are
automatically limited by the default quota restrictions. Setting the default quota to
Unlimited effectively disables this feature. Also, setting the default quota to
“Default” has the same effect as setting it to “Unlimited”
The columns in the display are defined as follows:
ID: The NFS UID (GID in the case of group quotas).
Name: The NFS username (group name in the case of group quotas). An entry of
“unknown” in this field or the next indicates that files are owned by a UID which
does not have an associated username on StorEdge. Typically this is the result of a
change in mapping rules or deleted users.
Windows Name: The Windows DOMAIN/username.
KB Used: Storage space in KB currently allocated to files owned by this user or
group.
Hard KB Limits: The hard limit is the absolute limit in KB of the total size of the data
owned by a particular user or group. When the quota is exceeded, the user will no
longer be able to write to this volume.
Soft KB Limits: The soft limit can be exceeded for a period of seven days. If the
quota is exceeded for longer than seven days, the user will no longer be able to write
to this volume. This allows the temporary allocation of extra storage space for users
or groups. If both hard and soft quotas are used, the soft quota must be smaller than
the hard quota.
Files Used: Number of files currently owned by this user or group.
