using conditional execution in CLI

mgilbert — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:36:57 GMT

Is there a way to use conditional logic on the OnTap CLI between different fields? Like if I wanted to get all users that are over 1TB OR using more than 1million files? E.g. something like

quota report (-disk-used >1TB | -files-used >1000000)

I don't have access to a cluster that has quotas enabled, so I wasn't able to get any real results, but I was able to successfully execute a CLI command similar to what you provided:

quota report -disk-used >1tb -files-used > 1000000

Have you tried running a similar command?

Hi @Girton ,

i think he wishes to make an OR statement rather an AND - that your example will result.

i tried to find a way as well. but the only thing worked for me is just to execute the command twice...

quota report -disk-used >100g;quota report -files-used >500

Thank you for the reply. You are correct; that's what I was going for. I guess I'll just have to settle for looking for similarities between two separate commands.
