You can use System Manager create, edit, and delete Qtrees.
More information
Creating qtrees
Qtrees enable you to manage and partition your data within the volume. You can use the Create Qtree dialog box in System Manager to add a new qtree to a volume on your storage system.
Deleting qtrees
You can delete a qtree and reclaim the disk space it uses within a volume by using System Manager. When you delete a qtree, all quotas applicable to that qtree are no longer applied by Data ONTAP.
Editing qtrees
You can use System Manager to modify the properties of a qtree, such as the security style, enable or disable opportunistic locks (oplocks), or assign a new or existing export policy.
Assigning export policies to qtrees
Instead of exporting an entire volume, you can export a specific qtree on a volume to make it directly accessible to clients. You can use System Manager to export a qtree by assigning an export policy to it. You can assign an export policy to one or more qtrees from the Qtrees window.
Viewing qtree information
You can use the Qtrees window in System Manager to view the volume that contains the qtree; the name, security style, and status of the qtree; and the oplocks status.
What a qtree is
A qtree is a logically defined file system that can exist as a special subdirectory of the root directory within a FlexVol volume. You can create up to 4995 qtrees per volume. There is no maximum limit for the storage system as a whole. You can create qtrees for managing and partitioning your data within the volume. Qtrees are available only for FlexVol volumes, not for Infinite Volumes.
Qtree options
A qtree is a logically defined file system that can exist as a special subdirectory of the root directory within a FlexVol volume and are used to manage and partition data within the volume.
Security styles
Storage systems running Data ONTAP operating system supports different types of security styles for a storage object. By default, the security style of a qtree is the same as that for the root directory of the volume.
Qtrees window
You can use the Qtrees window to create, display, and manage information about qtrees.
