There are several administrative tasks you can perform as part of administering the volumes defined at your AFX cluster.

Create a qtree

A qtree is a logical subdivision within a volume that you can create to organize and administer data.

Steps

  1. In System Manager, select Storage and then Qtrees.

  2. Select Add with blue background and provide the basic configuration including name, volume, and security style; optionally configure a quota.

  3. Select Save to add the qtree.

Create a quota

A quota is a limit set on the amount of storage space or number of files that can be used by a user, group, or qtree. Quotas are used to manage and control resource usage within an AFX system.

Steps

  1. In System Manager, select Storage and then Quotas.

  2. Select the Usage tab to display a list of the active quotas across all volumes.

  3. Select the Volumes tab to display a list of the volumes defined in the AFX cluster; select a specific volume to display additional information.

  4. To define a quota, select the Rules tab.

  5. Provide the configuration details, including the quota target, type and limits.

  6. Select Save to add the quota.
