Limit space usage by a storage container

About this task

To limit the amount of space a storage container consumes, set a quota on that storage container. The quota represents the total maximum size of the data that can be written to the vVols in the storage container. Space that snapshots and thin clones consume does not count towards the quota.

Steps

  1. Under Storage, select Storage Containers.
  2. Select the storage container for which you want to set a quota and select Modify.
  3. Select the Enable storage container capacity quota checkbox to enable a quota and specify the limit that you want, then select Apply.

Results

When the space that the storage container is using reaches or exceeds the high watermark for the quota, the system generates a notification. If the space used falls below the high watermark for the quota, the notification clears automatically. By default, the high watermark for the quota is 85%, but you can change this value.

To remove the quota on a storage container, clear the Enable storage container capacity quota checkbox on the Properties panel for that storage container.
