Repairing the quota of the universal share

In some situations, the quota file maybe corrupted or the usage quota is not correct. You can use /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_quota repair <share ID> to repair the quota for the universal share. Use the following procedure to repair the quota for a share.

To repair the quota of the universal share

  1. Ensure there is no write operations on the universal share.
  2. Make one backup copy of the quota.dat for <storage>/meta_dir/<share_dir>/<share_id>/quota.dat.

    Example:

    mv /msdp/meta_dir/test/test/quota.dat /msdp/meta_dir/test/test/quota.dat.bak

  3. Use the command vpfs_quota repair to repair the quota.

    Example:

    /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_quota repair test

  4. Restart the NetBackup service.
    • NetBackup appliance, BYO, or Flex media: netbackup stop/start

    • Flex WORM, Flex scale, AKS, or EKS: dedupe vpfs stop, dedupe vpfs start

Note:

This procedure doesn't support the quota repair on the deduplicate shell, to repair the quota on WORM storage server requires you to unlock the appliance.
