Quotas

VxFS supports quotas, which allocate per-user quotas and limit the use of two principal resources: files and data blocks. You can assign quotas for each of these resources. Each quota consists of two limits for each resource:

The hard limit represents an absolute limit on data blocks or files. A user can never exceed the hard limit under any circumstances.
The soft limit is lower than the hard limit and can be exceeded for a limited amount of time. This allows users to temporarily exceed limits as long as they fall under those limits before the allotted time expires.

See “Quota Limits” for details on using VxFS quotas.

Installing VxFS and enabling the cluster feature does not create a cluster file system configuration. File system clustering requires other VERITAS products to enable communication services and provide storage resources. These products are packaged with VxFS in the SANPoint Foundation Suite HA to provide a complete clustering environment.
