How do you enable and configure a quota for a FlexVol or a volume in ONTAP?

• A. Create a quota policy and quota rules within the volume to enforce per-user or per-group space limits
• B. Quotas are enabled automatically without configuration
• C. Quotas are only configured at cluster level and not per volume
• D. Quotas are deprecated in favor of SnapLock policies

Answer: (A)

Quotas in ONTAP are implemented as quota policies with quota rules that define per-user or per-group space limits on a volume. To enable and configure a quota for a FlexVol or a volume, you create a quota policy, add quota rules that specify the users or groups and their allowed space (and optionally inode usage), and then apply that policy to the desired volume. Once applied, ONTAP enforces these limits, preventing users from exceeding their assigned quota and giving you visibility into usage per user or group on that volume. This per-volume application is what lets you manage storage fairly in shared environments.
