Does anyone have any experience with SSQM 2.0 in Windows only environment? I had to install it for evaluation tests and it acts very strangely for me:
SecureShare Quota Manager 2.0 was installed on Windows NT4/SP6a computer. Filer was running DOT 6.1.1R2 and was configured as Windows only. No user account migration was done (in accordance to NOW Knowledgebase it is not required).
The following problems were observed: - There seems to be no way to define if quota is of user or tree type. Result of using Default Quota Setting seemed to be random: most of the time it generated "user" default quota but sometimes "tree" type quota. Type of default quota seemed to be somewhat related to restarting SSQM application.
- In those seldom times when it generated "tree" default quota it also allowed to create of default "tree" quota for qtree that caused quota system to stop (/etc/quotas could not be interpreted by quota system): * tree@/vol/SQL 100M - * tree@/vol/SQL/test 100G -
Is it possible to manage tree type quotas using SecureShare Quota Manager 2.0? If so: How user can define tree quota (default and specific) for qtree? Is it posible to define with SSQM 2.0 in the same time default user quota and tree quota for different targets? How to do it?
Best regards,

Well, I think it need to work with AMS 2.0 if there isn't any entries in the passwd file, it will not be able to implement user quota

From NOW Knowledgebase:

Solution ID: ntapcs2694
Title: Use SecureShare Quota Manager 2.0 to manage quotas on Data ONTAP 6.1 - NetApp filer
Problem Environment: CIFS-only
Problem Description: Use SecureShare Quota Manager 2.0 to manage quotas
Fix: With Data ONTAP 6.1, SSQM 2.0 only needs to be used to manage quotas. If the filer is "CIFS-only", the /etc/passwd file does not need to be populated with CIFS users for quotas to work properly.
---
And the problem is with default quotas (and tree quotas in general). Individual user quotas can be setup without any problems (and no Windows accounts in /etc/passwd).

All right, well I have tried that before without modifying the /etc/passwd, it does not work well.. well let me know if u are able to do it so that I will do the test again. Cheers,

This time I was focused on content of /etc/quotas vs information and functionality of SSQM. I did not check if quotas are actually enforced (however I looked at quota report which looked reasonable).
But during previous test I have discovered only one issue: When using one of the new keywords QUOTA_TARGET_DOMAIN QUOTA_PERFORM_USER_MAPPING (unfortunately I cannot recall which one) causes that adding user specific quota when default quota exists is possible only with full quota rescan (i.e. quota off/on instead of quota resize). Other aspects of SID based quotas seemed to work normally.
Best regards,
Jacek
