Qtrees

Netapp Qtree

Netapp Qtree is partition of the volume, same like unix directory. Using qtree we can apply quota management to disk space usage.

• A qtree is similar like Directory
• Using quota we can limit the qtree size.
• Qtree represents the third level partitioned in the storage, Because aggregate conatin volumes and the volumes resides qtree.
• Qtree have its own security style like NTFS, UNIX and MIXED

Creating qtree

creating an qtree is an very easy process use below command to create

Netapp01>qtree create testingqtree

Verify Qtree

verify the qtree using below command

Netapp01>qtree status

Rename Qtree

Netapp01>priv set advanced
Netapp01>qtree rename /vol/vol0/testingqtree /vol/vol0/qtree1
Netapp01>priv set

Deleting Qtree

Netapp01>priv set advanced
Netapp01>qtree delete -f /vol/vol0/qtree1
Netapp01>priv set

Qtree Security Style Modification

NTFS = Windows OS
UNIX = All unix Based OS
Mixed = both Unix and Windows

Syntax:

Netapp01> qtree security qtree_name [unix | Winows | mixed]

Example :
The security style of a qtree named qtree1 in the root volume to NTFS

Netapp01>  qtree security qtree1 ntfs

The security style of a qtree named test in the vol1 volume to NTFS

Netapp01>> qtree security /vol/vol1/test ntfs

The security style of the root volume to UNIX

Netapp01>> qtree security / unix

The security style of the vol1 volume to UNIX

Netapp01>  qtree security /vol/vol1/ unix
Netapp01 > qtree
