Quota help with powershell

jmboardman — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:30:13 GMT

I am attempting to filter a quota report (get-naquotareport) by quota type. (I want to return all qtree quotas).

I am running the following and it does not return anything:

get-naquotareport -volume myvolume | where-object {$_.Type -like "tree*"}

get-naquotareport -volume myvolume | where-object {$_.Type -like "*tree*"}

Filtering on the qtree name does work, by typing the following:

get-naquotareport -volume myvolume | where-object {$_.Qtree -like "sub*"}

Any ideas?

Thanks

Somewhat confusingly "Type" is only the column heading for the Format-Table output, but isn't aliased to a property on the actual result object. You can see the actual properties using "Get-Member":

PS C:\> Get-NaQuotaReport | Get-Member

TypeName: NetApp.Ontapi.Filer.Quota.QuotaInfo

Name MemberType Definition

---- ---------- ----------

Equals Method bool Equals(System.Object obj)

GetHashCode Method int GetHashCode()

GetType Method type GetType()

ToString Method string ToString()

Validate Method System.Void Validate()

DiskLimit Property string DiskLimit {get;set;}

DiskUsed Property string DiskUsed {get;set;}

FileLimit Property string FileLimit {get;set;}

FilesUsed Property string FilesUsed {get;set;}

Qtree Property string Qtree {get;set;}

QuotaTarget Property string QuotaTarget {get;set;}

QuotaType Property string QuotaType {get;set;}

QuotaUsers Property NetApp.Ontapi.Filer.Quota.QuotaUser[] QuotaUsers {get;set;}

SoftDiskLimit Property string SoftDiskLimit {get;set;}

SoftFileLimit Property string SoftFileLimit {get;set;}

Threshold Property string Threshold {get;set;}

Vfiler Property string Vfiler {get;set;}

Volume Property string Volume {get;set;}

In this case, what you want is "QuotaType":

PS C:\> Get-NaQuotaReport | where { $_.QuotaType -like "tree" }

Volume Qtree Type Disk Limit Disk Used File Limit Files Used

------ ----- ---- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------

vol0 tree 20.0 GB 0 50k 0

vol0 user1b tree 20.0 GB 20.8 MB 50k 3

vol0 user2 tree 20.0 GB 0 50k 1

vol0 svpri tree 20.0 GB 0 50k 1

vol2 qtree2 tree 50.0 GB 0 1

In the future, you'll get much faster responses if you use the PowerShell Toolkit Community section.

Cheers!

You bet! By the way, in the upcoming toolkit release the columns for this object will now display the actual property names (QuotaType, DiskLimit, DiskUsed, etc) to eliminate any confusion.
