"ntroduction to File Server Resource Manager

*ith the increasing demand on storage resources! as organi,ations rely more heavily on data than ever before! '$ administrators face the challenge of overseeing a larger and more complestorage infrastructure! hile at the same time! trac&ing the &ind of information available in it# $oday! managing storage resources not only includes data si,e and availability but also the enforcement of company policies and a very good understanding of ho e-isting storage is being used! allo ing for sound strategic planning and proper response to organi,ational changes# File Server Resource Manager is a suite of tools that allo s administrators to understand! control! and manage the "uantity and type of data stored on their servers# 7y using File Server Resource Manager! administrators can place "uotas on volumes! actively screen files and folders! and generate comprehensive storage reports# $his set of advanced instruments not only helps the administrator to efficiently monitor e-isting storage resources! but it also aids in the planning and implementation of future policy changes# 7y using File Server Resource Manager! you can perform the follo ing tas&s: Create "uotas to limit the space allo ed for a volume or folder and generate e%mail and other notifications hen the "uota limits are approached or e-ceeded# 3utomatically generate and apply "uotas to all e-isting subfolders and any ne subfolders in a volume or folder# Create file screens to control the type of files that users can save! and send notifications hen users attempt to save bloc&ed files#

4efine "uota and file screening templates that can be easily applied to ne volumes or folders and reused across an organi,ation# Schedule periodic storage reports that help identify trends in dis& usage! or generate storage reports instantly! on demand#

7y using File Server Resource Manager to create a "uota for a volume or folder! you can limit the dis& space that is allocated for it# $he "uota limit applies to the entire folder subtree# Aou can create either a hard "uota or a soft "uota: 3 hard quota prevents users from saving files after the space limit is reached and generates notifications hen the volume of data reaches each configured threshold# 3 soft quota does not enforce the "uota limit but generates all configured notifications# $o determine hat happens hen the "uota limit approaches! you can configure notification thresholds# For each threshold that you define! you can send e%mail notifications! log an event! run a command or script! or generate storage reports# For e-ample! you might ant to notify the administrator as ell as the user ho saved the file! hen a folder reaches 8; percent of its "uota limit! and then send another notification hen the "uota limit is reached# 'n some cases! you might ant to run a script that raises the "uota limit automatically hen a threshold is reached# *hen you create a "uota on a volume or a folder! you can base the "uota on a quota template or use custom properties# *e recommend that! henever possible! you base a "uota on a "uota template# 3 "uota template can be reused for creating additional "uotas and simplifies ongoing "uota maintenance# File Server Resource Manager can also generate "uotas automatically# *hen you configure an auto apply quota! you apply a "uota template to a parent volume or folder# 3 "uota based on the template is then created for each of the e-isting subfolders! and a "uota is automatically generated for each ne subfolder that is created# "n t!is section% File Server Resource Manager >uotas vs# .$FS 4is& >uotas 3bout >uota $emplates Creating a >uota Creating a >uota $emplate (pdating >uotas by 1diting a >uota $emplate Creating an 3uto 3pply >uota 1diting an 3uto 3pply >uota Monitoring >uota (se

About *uota 'e#plates

File Server Resource Manager gives you fle-ibility in creating! using! and managing templates! both for "uotas and for file screens# 3 quota template defines a space limit! the type of "uota /hard or soft0! and a set of notifications to be generated hen the "uota limit approaches or is e-ceeded# >uota templates simplify the creation and maintenance of "uotas: 7y using a "uota template! you can apply a standard storage limit and a standard set of notification thresholds to many volumes and folders on servers throughout your organi,ation# 'f you base your "uotas on a template! you can automatically update all "uotas that are based on a specific template by editing that template# $his feature simplifies the process of updating the properties of "uotas by providing one central point here all changes can be made# For e-ample! you can create a User Quota template that you use to place a 200 M7 limit on the personal folder of each user# For each user! you ould then create a "uota based on the (ser >uota template and assign it to the userEs folder# 'f you later decide to allo each user additional space on the server! you simply change the space limit in the (ser >uota template and choose to automatically update each "uota that is based on that "uota template# File Server Resource Manager provides several "uota templates# For e-ample: Aou can use the 200 M4 -i#it Reports to $ser template to place a hard 200 M7 limit on the personal folder of each user# For some folders! you might ant to use the 200 M4 -i#it wit! 50 M4 +2tension template to automatically increase the "uota limit hen a 200 M7 "uota limit is reached# 5ther default templates are designed for monitoring dis& usage through soft "uotasFfor e-ample! the Monitor 200 G4 6olu#e $sage template and the Monitor 500 M4 S!are template# *hen you use these templates! users can e-ceed the "uota limit! but e%mail and event log notifications are generated hen they do so# $o vie the default templates! clic& the *uota 'e#plates node in the File Server Resource Manager console tree#
