soft-grace syntax

Hello,

Can someone tell me the CLI syntax to specify 9999 days for the --soft-grace option of the isi quota quotas command?  I've tried

isi quota quotas modify --path --type directory --soft-grace 9999, but it doesn't modify the duration.

The CLI guide lists this, but I have to clue how to interpret it:

Specify in the following format.

in the following format:

- -

[T : [: ]]

as one of the following values.

Y Specifies years

M Specifies months

W Specifies weeks

D Specifies days

h Specifies hours

s Specifies seconds

Regards,

Sue Flood

Tried that and it appeared to work (no error returned), but it did not make the modification. That directory still has a grace period of 7 days (1W).

  1. isi quota quotas modify --container=yes --enforced yes --hard-threshold=1.4648T --include-snapshots=no --soft-threshold=1.3916T --soft-grace=9999d --type=directory --path /ifs/NFS/CHDC/INTRANET/PRE/DCTM/492/EDR114

Unknown time unit d

What am I doing wrong?

SUE,

it is is right there in the guide...

use D (upper case D), not lower case.  Lower case fails with the error you see.  Upper case works.

try it...

cheers

The fact that it's case-sensitive really is annoying...

Additionally, if you're looking to set a soft-grace to 9999 days, that's probably not what you want anyway.  Look at the advisory threshold which can send out the email alerts but never prevent a write.  There is no grace period associated with the advisory thresholds.

Are all of these parameters are necessary just to modify the soft grace period?

Thanks,

Sue

looks like this is the minimum that it expects to actually change the value for soft grace

isi quota quotas modify  --soft-grace=111D --type=directory  --soft-threshold=90G --path /ifs/data/n2isilonpoc/ts/documents
