Summary

Update an existing quota rule on a specified ONTAP volume by modifying its space and files usage limits.

Inputs

  • Cluster Host (required) — Hostname or IP address of the ONTAP cluster management LIF to connect to.
  • Port — HTTPS port for the ONTAP REST API; defaults to 443.
  • Volume (required) — The UUID of the volume containing the quota rule to update.
  • Quota Rule UUID (required) — UUID of the quota rule to update.
  • Space Hard Limit — New hard limit for space usage (e.g., 10GB).
  • Space Soft Limit — New soft limit for space usage that triggers alerts (e.g., 8GB).
  • Files Hard Limit — New hard limit for number of files; use 0 for unlimited.
  • Options — Additional options such as a comma-separated list of fields to include in the response.

Output shape

a single updated quota rule object representing the quota rule after modification

The operation updates limits on an existing quota rule identified by its UUID and returns the updated quota rule details. If the request is asynchronous, the node will wait for job completion before returning. Errors from the ONTAP API are surfaced through the node error handling.

Examples

Example 1: Update quota rule to set new space and files hard limits

Provide cluster host, volume UUID, quota rule UUID, new space hard limit (e.g., '20GB'), space soft limit, and files hard limit, then execute the node to update and return the quota rule.
