Use Quotas to define limits on the amount of storage that a user or a group of users can consume. Quotas allow you to specify limits at three different levels for a user or group of users: at the filesystem level, at the computer level, and at the level of the whole network.
Level |
Description |
Filesystem |
Define Quotas for a user or group of users at the filesystem level. |
Network |
Define a Quota that place limits over multiple machines. You can place network level limits on users or groups of users for all the computers (or a chosen subset) or filesystems in your environment. This enables you to define quotas that affect multiple machines on your network. |
Computer |
Define a Quota that places limits on a specific machine for a user or group of users. This means that the quota that you set for a user or group of users, will be enforced on each computer for which you have defined the quota. |
You can define two different kinds of Quotas: User and OS User Group.
User Quota. Select users and groups of users for a Quota that have been defined within Tivoli Storage Resource Manager.
OS User Group Quota. Select OS User Groups for a Quota. OS User Groups are groups of users that have been defined in the operating system outside of Tivoli Storage Resource Manager. You can create Tivoli Storage Resource Manager groups that contain many OS User Groups. When creating a Quota of this type, you can either select OS User Group Quotas and/or OS User Group Groups.
