Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerStore — Question 18

An administrator wants to enable quotas on a group directory in their Isilon cluster. In addition, the administrator wants to monitor and limit the disk usage. Which type of quotas need to be configured?

Answer options

• A. Advisory
• B. Enforcement
• C. Accounting
• D. Soft

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Enforcement quotas are designed to actively limit disk usage, making them the appropriate choice for monitoring and restricting disk space in the Isilon cluster. Advisory quotas provide recommendations but do not enforce limits, while accounting quotas focus on usage tracking without imposing limits. Soft quotas allow temporary exceedance of limits, which does not align with the requirement for strict monitoring and limiting.
