Creating a new quota entry

jivam — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 11:18:54 GMT

Getting the error when creating a new quota entry when using the NetApp sdk

below are the input parameters

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<netapp vfiler="vservername" xmlns="http://www.netapp.com/filer/admin" version="1.150">
<quota-add-entry>
<disk-limit>40000</disk-limit>
<qtree>""</qtree>
<quota-target>/vol/volname/qtre3name</quota-target>
<quota-type>tree</quota-type>
<volume>volname</volume>
</quota-add-entry>
</netapp>

Below is the error

<results reason='Qtree cannot be specified for a tree type rule. ' errno='13051' status='failed'/>

The API documentation states to use "" for the qtree when using type tree

Is this a bug in the API execution

or am I missing something?

Thanks

Try using a null value for the "qtree" input. This API call worked in my lab environment to set the quota:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <netapp vfiler="lab-svm-01" xmlns="http://www.netapp.com/filer/admin" version="1.150"> <quota-add-entry> <disk-limit>40000</disk-limit> <qtree></qtree> <quota-target>/vol/qtreetest/test1</quota-target> <quota-type>tree</quota-type> <volume>qtreetest</volume> </quota-add-entry> </netapp>
