The user default quota on a file system is the default value that is used to apply a quota to any user recognized by the file system who does not have an explicit quota. You can set the user default quota of a file system after creating the file system.

  1. Navigate to Provisioning > Capacity > File Systems.
  2. In the File Systems pane, locate the file system for which you want to modify the user default quota, click the more actions menu, and then click User Defaults.
  3. In the User Defaults pane, enter the following information, and then click Save:
    1. In Usage, enter the usage limit of the file system for a user. Additionally, select the usage in KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB or PiB from the list.
    2. In File Count, set the file count limit of the file system for a user.
    3. Set the Hard Limit toggle to Yes to ensure that the usage limit or the file count is not exceeded or accept the default No, which does not enforce the limit.
      If the toggle is set to No, a warning alert is triggered when the limit is exceeded.
    4. Set the Alert Warning value to trigger a warning alert when the usage or file count limit reaches this value.
    5. Set the Alert Severe value to trigger a severe alert when the usage or file count limit reaches this value.
    6. Select the Log Quota Events in the managed servers Event Log checkbox to log all users quota events in the event log for the managed server.
