Display quota state for volumes

Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

This command displays information about quotas for online volumes. The command output depends on the parameters specified with the command. Quotas can only be administered on FlexVol volumes. If no parameters are specified, the command displays the following information for all volumes:

  • Vserver name

  • Volume name

  • Quota state - quota state for this volume. The possible values are as follows:

  • off - this state indicates that quotas are deactivated for the volume.

  • on - this state indicates that quotas are activated for the volume.

  • initializing - this state indicates that quotas are being initialized for the volume.

  • resizing - this state indicates that quota limits are being resized for the volume.

  • corrupt - this state indicates that quotas are corrupt for this volume.

  • mixed - this state may only occur for FlexGroups, and indicates that the constituent volumes are not all in the same state.

  • Scan status - percentage of the files in the volume scanned by the quota scanner that runs as part of activating quotas.

  • Last error - most recently generated error message as part of the last quota operation (on or resize ). Present only if an error has been generated.

To display detailed information about all volumes, run the command with the -instance parameter. The detailed view provides all of the information in the previous list and the following additional information:

  • Logging messages - whether quota exceeded syslog/EMS messages are logged or not. For volumes where the quota logging parameter is set to on , quota exceeded messages are generated when a NFS/CIFS operation or any internal Data ONTAP operation is being prevented because the quota disk usage is exceeding the disk limit or the quota file usage is exceeding the file limit. For quotas where the logging parameter is set to off , no quota exceeded messages are generated.

  • Logging interval - frequency with which quota exceeded messages are logged. This parameter only applies to volumes that have the logging parameter set to on .

  • Sub status - additional status about quotas for this volume. Following are the possible values reported:

  • upgrading - this indicates that the quota metadata format is being upgraded from an older version to a newer version for the volume.

  • setup - this indicates that the quotas are being setup on the volume.

  • transferring rules - this indicates that the quota rules are being transferred to the volume.

  • scanning - this indicates that the quota filesystem scanner is currently running on the volume.

  • finishing - this indicates that the quota on or resize operation is in the final stage of the operation.

  • done - this indicates that the quota operation is finished.

  • none - this indicates that there is no additional status.

  • All errors - collection of all the error messages generated as part of the last quota operation (on or resize ) since the volume was online.

  • User quota enforced (advanced privilege only) - indicates whether there are user quota rules being enforced.

  • Group quota enforced (advanced privilege only)- indicates whether there are group quota rules being enforced.

  • Tree quota enforced (advanced privilege only) - indicates whether there are tree quota rules being enforced.
