Although it is possible to assign the full Isilon cluster file system to a single S-1 recorder , the Dell EMC best practice is to use SmartQuotas ™ to segment the single Isilon file system so that each recorder has a logical subset view of storage.
There are three directory-level quota systems:
- Advisory limit
- Lets you define a usage limit and configure notifications without subjecting users to strict enforcement.
- Soft limit
- Lets you define a usage limit, configure notifications, and specify a grace period before subjecting users to strict enforcement.
- Hard limit (recommended)
- Lets you define a usage limit for strict enforcement and configure notifications. For directory quotas, you can configure storage users' view of space availability as reported through the operating system.
