Looks like thresholds are specific to DFM - (Just performed a basic
search of the now site).
About user quota thresholds
User quota thresholds are the values that DataFabric Manager uses to
evaluate whether the space consumption by a user is nearing or has
reached the limit set by the user's quota. If these thresholds are
crossed, DataFabric Manager generates user quota events.
By default, DataFabric Manager sends user alerts in the form of e-mail
messages to the users who cause user quota events. Additionally, you can
configure alarms that notify the specified recipients (DataFabric
Manager administrators, a pager address, or an SNMP trap host) of user
quota events.
DataFabric Manager can also send user alert when users exceed their soft
quota limits, however, no thresholds are defined in DataFabric Manager
for the soft quotas. DataFabric Manager uses the soft quota limits set
in the /etc/quotas file of a filer to determine whether a user has
crossed his soft quota.
How user quota threshold settings are applied
When you configure a user quota threshold for a volume or qtree, the
settings apply to all user quotas on that volume or qtree.
DataFabric Manager uses the user quota thresholds to monitor the hard
and soft quota limits configured in the /etc/quotas file of each filer.
For information about configuring the hard and soft quota limits, see
Managing user quotas with DataFabric Manager

which is blank by default ?
