Hi @Javed Khan Siddque ,

Instead of uri module, have you tried using the smartquota module from the dell powerscale collection for the usecase?

The collection can be installed as below

ansible-galaxy collection install dellemc.powerscale

Sharing a sample smartquota playbook below

- name : Create a Quota for a Directory

smartquota :

onefs_host : " { {onefs_host}} "

verify_ssl : " { {verify_ssl}} "

api_user : " { {api_user}} "

api_password : " { {api_password}} "

path : " { {path}} "

quota_type : " { {dir_quota_type}} "

access_zone : " { {access_zone}} "

quota :

include_snapshots : False

thresholds_on : " fs_logical_size "

advisory_limit_size : 3

soft_limit_size : 5

soft_grace_period : 5

period_unit : ' weeks '

hard_limit_size : 6

cap_unit : ' GB '

container : " { {container}} "

state : " present "

More examples can be found using : ansible-doc dellemc.powerscale.smartquota

Please do let me of any additional information.

Thanks,

Jennifer
