Managing Directory Quotas (Optional)
Directory Quota is an optional tool in the PowerVault NAS Manager that allows you to manage and control disk space
allocation on the server appliance. Using Directory Quota, you can add, delete, monitor and change space limits for specific
directories on your cluster nodes. The Administrator can configure the settings for Directory Quota in the PowerVault NAS
Manager, which are available and enforced in a failover scenario.
NOTE:
Directory Quota monitors disk space for specific directories and does not monitor disk space for each individual
user. To enable quotas for each user, you must use Disk Quota.
In a cluster configuration, each cluster node can manage and configure Directory Quota for the volume(s) owned by the node.
