Increase a quota for a Qtree – NetApp

By following these steps, you can effectively increase the quota for a qtree in a NetApp environment.

1. Identify the Volume: Use this command to display information about the specific volume you want to work with.
   • volume show volume_name
2. Identify the Volume’s Qtrees: This command lists all the qtrees within the specified volume.
   • volume qtree show -vserver vserver_name -volume volume_name
3. Check for Associated Quota to Qtree: Verify if there are any quota policies associated with the qtree in the volume.
   • volume quota policy rule show -vserver vserver_name -volume volume_name
4. Detect Current Usage: This command provides a report on the current usage of the qtree within the volume.
   • volume quota report -vserver vserver_name -volume volume_name
5. Increase Quota Rule: Modify the quota rule to increase the disk limit for the specified qtree.
   • volume quota policy rule modify -vserver vserver_name -volume volume_name -policy-name default -type tree -target qtree_name -disk-limit 50G
6. Resize Quota Service for the Volume: Resize the quota service to apply the new quota settings to the volume.
   • volume quota resize -vserver vserver_name -volume volume_name
7. Validate the Increase: Use these commands to validate that the quota increase has been successfully applied.
   • volume quota policy rule show -vserver vserver_name -volume volume_name
   • volume quota report -vserver vserver_name -volume volume_name
