HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage System user guide (440583-005, February 2008)

After you set a warning threshold, ASM changes the status indicator for the application component,
user-defined application, or shared folder when this threshold has been surpassed. This is a warning
only; no hard limits are enforced on storage capacity as a result of setting this value. The warning is
visible in these places:
• A yellow warning icon appears on the application component, user-defined application, or shared
folder icon in the content pane.
• As an alert in the Properties window.
NOTE:
For shared folders and local storage applications, you can set an enforceable limit (or quota) for allocated
storage, as well as a warning threshold. For more information, see
Enforcing an allocated storage limit for shared folders and local storage applications.
Enforcing an allocated storage limit for shared folders and local storage applications
ASM provides a way to enforce an allocated storage limit for shared folders and local storage
applications. If enforced, the system does not allow the amount of allocated space for a shared folder
and local storage application to be exceeded.
If the capacity of the shared folder and/or local storage application surpasses the percent full warning
threshold and reaches the allocated space limit, the status changes from Warning to Critical in the
content pane, and users are blocked from adding data to the shared folder and local storage
application.
NOTE:
If you do not choose to enforce an allocated storage limit for a shared folder, the ASM status indicator still
goes from Warning to Critical in the content pane; however, users are not blocked from adding data to
the shared folder as long as there is still unallocated storage space on the logical disk where the shared
folder resides. Data can be written to the shared folder until the logical disk is full.
By default, the Enforce Allocated Limit (Quota) is set to No for all shared folders and local storage
applications. To change this setting, do one of the following:
• Using the Create a Shared Folder Wizard, change the Enforce Allocated Limit (Quota) setting on
the Advanced window to Yes.
• Select the shared folder in the content pane, click Properties in the Actions pane, click the Warning
Threshold tab, and then select the Enforce Allocated Limit (Quota).
• Select the shared folder in the content pane, click Allocate Space in the Actions pane, click
Advanced, and then change the Enforce Allocated Limit (Quota) setting to Yes.
NOTE:
If a Shared Folder is created outside of ASM, you must run the Allocate Space Wizard on the particular
folder to enable the Enforce Allocated Limit (Quota) setting.
To allocate space for a shared folder, specify a size using the Allocate Space Wizard as described in
“Increasing or reducing the allocated storage” on page 89.
