Hi,

I am using below ONTAP API's and DLL to manage a cifs share & quota management using Admin.net tool.

DLL: - ONTAP 9.1 (From NetApp Manageability SDK)

API List:-

system-get-version
qtree-create
qtree-list-iter
cifs-share-get-iter
quota-list-entries-iter
quota-report-iter
quota-get-entry
quota-set-entry
quota-delete-entry
quota-resize
volume-get-iter
cifs-share-create
cifs-share-modify
cifs-share-delete

I am able to successfully create qtree, share, quota assignment successfully on flexvol volumes. But in flexgroup volumes, i am able to create qtree, share & assign permission successfully. But unable to set quota for flexgroup volumes.

Error Message from Admin.net Tool : "Operation not supported on Flexgroup constituents"

Can you suggest which ONTAP DLL file, i have to use from SDK and what are the appropriate API commands i have to refer in Admin.net coding.

Kindly suggest.
