Quotas
Quotas determine the maximum number of megabytes of data that you can migrate and premigrate from your file system to storage.
When files premigrate, they use space on both your local file system and in storage. When files migrate, stub files use some of the space on your local file system.
You can specify a quota value from 0 through 999999999999999.
- If you set the quota to 0 for your file system, files do not migrate to storage. Set the quota for your file system to a value that is large enough to accommodate projected growth.
- If you set the quota to 999999999999999, the amount of data you can migrate and premigrate is unlimited.
- The default is the number of MB that are assigned for your file system. For example, if 20 GB are assigned for your file system, the space management client migrates and premigrates your files from that file system until the total number of MB that migrate and premigrate equals 20 GB.
Check with your IBM Storage® Protect administrator to determine whether there are any restrictions on the amount of data that you can migrate and premigrate to storage.
