Changes an entry in a quota file or adjusts default values for
quotas and overdrafts. If a new quota limit is less than the
current usage count, SYSMAN issues a warning message before it
implements the new quota.
Requires write (W) access to the quota file.
Format
DISKQUOTA MODIFY owner
1 – Parameter
owner
Specifies the user identification code (UIC) or rights
identifier. You can specify the UIC in numeric or alphanumeric
format. For complete information about UIC specification, see the
VSI OpenVMS Guide to System Security.
Rights identifiers are granted with the Authorize utility and use
an ID format rather than a UIC format. For a complete description
of rights identifiers, see the VSI OpenVMS Programming Concepts
Manual.
When working in nonlocal environments, make sure that the
alphanumeric UIC or rights identifiers that you use are valid
for the environment.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /DEVICE
/DEVICE=device-spec
Specifies the disk volume that contains the quota file. SYSMAN
validates the device specification. A logical name may be
specified for device-spec. If so, it is translated in the target
environment.
Without a device specification, SYSMAN uses the default disk
on the target node. Unless you have set a default device with
the SET PROFILE command, the default disk is the current device
on the local node or the login default device on another node,
depending on the established environment.
2.2 /OVERDRAFT
/OVERDRAFT=value
Specifies a positive integer that provides an overdraft value
for the specified UIC. If you omit a value, the overdraft value
defaults to the overdraft value in the entry for [0,0].
2.3 /PERMQUOTA
/PERMQUOTA=value
Specifies a positive integer that provides the quota for the
specified UIC. If you omit a value, the permanent quota defaults
to the value of the quota in the entry for [0,0].
3 – Description
The DISKQUOTA MODIFY command changes values in a quota file for
the disk named in the device specification. If you establish a
quota limit that is less than the current usage count, a user can
still log in and out, but cannot create files.
After creating a quota file, use the DISKQUOTA MODIFY command to
set default values for quotas and overdrafts. UIC [0,0] sets the
default permanent quota and overdraft values for a quota file,
so you must change the entry [0,0] to values appropriate for
your installation. Unless you specify quota and overdraft values
when adding a file entry, SYSMAN applies these defaults to UIC
entries.
4 – Examples
1.SYSMAN> SET ENVIRONMENT/NODE=NODE21
SYSMAN> DISKQUOTA MODIFY /DEVICE=DUA12: [0,0] -
_SYSMAN> /PERMQUOTA=3000 /OVERDRAFT=300
The commands in this example edit the entry for UIC [0,0] in
the quota file on DUA12, which is located on NODE21.
2.SYSMAN> DISKQUOTA MODIFY /DEVICE=SYS$DISK1 [TTD,DAVIS] -
_SYSMAN> /PERMQUOTA=900
This command sets the permanent quota for UIC [TTD,DAVIS] to
900 blocks, while making no change to the overdraft limit.
SYSMAN modifies the quota file that is located on disk
SYS$DISK1 in the current environment.
If the user name DAVIS has a unique UIC on the system, you can
enter the following command:
SYSMAN> DISKQUOTA MODIFY DAVIS/PERMQUOTA=900
