46 Chapter 2 Setting Up a Storage Area Network
Step 14: (Optional) Set User and Group Quotas
You can set up quotas to control how much space in each SAN volume is used by each
user or group.
1 If the volume you want to set the quota for is not already started, select it in the SAN
Components list and click Start Volume.
2 With the volume still selected, click Quotas.
3 Click the Add (+) button, then drag a user or group from the drawer to the quotas list.
If you don’t see the SAN users in the drawer, open Directory Access (in /Applications/
Utilities) and make sure you’re using the correct directory for user authentication.
4 Select the user or group in the quotas list and adjust their quota settings in the lower
half of the window.
Soft Quota: The user’s recommended working maximum. The user can exceed this
limit as needed, but only for the length of time specified following “Quota locked after.”
Hard Quota: The absolute maximum amount of storage the user’s data can occupy.
“Quota locked after __”: The length of time the user can exceed his or her soft quota
before it automatically becomes a hard quota.
5 Click Save.
Click to add a
new quota.
