Quota report formats

Available report formats

Quota reports are available in these formats:

A default format generated by the quota report command
For more information, see Default format.
Target IDs displayed in numeric form using the quota report -q command
For more information, see Report format with quota report -q.
Soft limits listed using the quota report -s command
Threshold values listed using the quota report -t command
vFiler names included using the quota report -v command
This option is valid only if MultiStore is licensed.
Two enhanced formats for quota targets with multiple IDs:
- IDs listed on different lines using the quota report -u command
  For more information, see Report format with quota report -u.
- IDs listed in a comma separated list using the quota report -x command
  For more information, see Report format with quota report -x.

Factors affecting the contents of the fields

The information contained in the ID and Quota Specifier fields can vary according to these factors:

Type of user--UNIX or Windows--to which a quota applies
The specific command used to generate the quota report

Contents of the ID field

In general, the ID field of the quota report displays a user name instead of a UID or SID; however, the following exceptions apply:

For a quota with a UNIX user as the target, the ID field shows the UID instead of a name if no user name for the UID is found in the password database, or if you specifically request the UID by including the -q option in the quota reports command.
For a quota with a Windows user as the target, the ID field shows the SID instead of a name if either of the following conditions applies:
- The SID is specified as a quota target and the SID no longer corresponds to a user name.
- The storage system cannot find an entry for the SID in the SID-to-name map cache and cannot connect to the domain controller to ascertain the user name for the SID when it generates the quota report.

Default format

The quota report command without options generates the default format for the ID and Quota Specifier fields.

The ID field

If a quota target contains only one ID, the ID field displays that ID. Otherwise, the ID field displays one of the IDs from the list.

The ID field displays information in the following formats:

For a Windows name, the first seven characters of the user name with a preceding backslash are displayed. The domain name is omitted.
For a SID, the last eight characters are displayed.

The Quota Specifier field

The Quota Specifier field displays an ID that matches the one in the ID field. The ID is displayed the same way the quota target is specified in the /etc/quotas file.

Examples

The following table shows what is displayed in the ID and Quota Specifier fields based on the quota target in the /etc/quotas file.

Quota target in the /etc/quotas file	ID field of the quota report	Quota Specifier field of the quota report
CORP\john_smith	\john_sm	CORP\john_smith
CORP\john_smith,NT\js	\john_sm or \js	CORP\john_smith or NT\js
S-1-5-32-544	5-32-544	S-1-5-32-544

Report format with quota report -q

The quota report -q command displays the quota target's UNIX UID or GID in numeric form. Data ONTAP does not perform a lookup of the name associated with the target ID.

For Windows IDs, the textual form of the SID is displayed.

UNIX UIDs and GIDs are displayed as numbers. Windows SIDs are displayed as text.

Report format with quota report -s

The format of the report generated using the quota report -s command is the same as the default format, except that the soft limit columns are included.

Report format with quota report -t

The format of the report generated using the quota report -t command is the same as the default format, except that the threshold column is included.

Report format with quota report -v

The format of the report generated using the quota report -v command is the same as the default format, except that the vFiler column is included. This format is available only if MultiStore is licensed.

Report format with quota report -u

The quota report -u command is useful if you have quota targets that have multiple IDs. It provides more information in the ID and Quota Specifier fields than the default format.

If a quota target consists of multiple IDs, the first ID is listed on the first line of the quota report for that entry. The other IDs are listed on the lines following the first line, one ID per line. Each ID is followed by its original quota specifier, if any. Without this option, only one ID is displayed for quota targets with multiple IDs.

Note
You cannot combine the -u and -x options.

The ID field

The ID field displays all the IDs listed in the quota target of a user quota in the following format:

On the first line, the format is the same as the default format.
Each additional name in the quota target is displayed on a separate line in its entirety.

The Quota Specifier field

The Quota Specifier field displays the same list of IDs as specified in the quota target.

Example

The following table shows what is displayed in the ID and Quota Specifier fields based on the quota target in the /etc/quotas file. In this example, the SID maps to the user name NT\js.

Quota target in /etc/quotas	ID field of the quota report	Quota Specifier field of the quota report
CORP\john_smith,S-1-5-21-123456-7890-1234-1166	\john_sm NT\js	CORP\john_smith,S-1-5-21-123456-7890-1234-1166

Quota target in /etc/quotas

ID field of the quota report

Quota Specifier field of the quota report

CORP\john_smith,S-1-5-21-123456-7890-1234-1166

\john_sm

NT\js

CORP\john_smith,S-1-5-21-123456-7890-1234-1166

Report format with quota report -x

The quota report -x command report format is similar to the report displayed by the quota report -u command, except that quota report -x displays all the quota target's IDs on the first line of that quota target's entry, as a comma separated list. The threshold column is included.

Note
You cannot combine the -x and -u options.
