5.3. Viewing and modifying Block Storage backup quotas by project

Procedure

1. Access the remote shell for the openstackclient pod from your workstation:

   $ oc rsh -n openstack openstackclient
   $ source ./cloudrc

2. Optional: List the projects to obtain the ID or name of the required project:

   $ openstack project list

3. View the current limits of the backup quotas for a specific project:

   $ openstack quota show <project>

   • Replace <project> with the ID or name of the required project.

     This provides the limits of all the resource quotas for the specified project. Take note of the Limit column for the backup-gigabytes and backups fields in the table. For example:

     $ openstack quota show c2c1da89ed1648fc8b4f35a045f8d34c
     +-----------------------+-------+
     | Resource              | Limit |
     +-----------------------+-------+
     ...
     | backups               |    10 |
     ...
     | backup-gigabytes      |  1000 |
     ...
     +-----------------------+-------+

4. Optional: Modify the total size of all the Block Storage volume backups that users can create for a project:

   $ openstack quota set --backup-gigabytes <totalgb> <project>

   • Replace <totalgb> with the total size, in gigabytes, of the backups that users can create for this project.

5. Optional: Modify the maximum number of the Block Storage volume backups that users can create for a project:

   $ openstack quota set --backups <maxnum> <project>

   • Replace <maxnum> with the maximum number of backups that users can create for this project.

6. Optional: View the usage of these Block Storage volume backup quotas and, if necessary, review any changes to their limits for a specific project:

   $ cinder quota-usage <project_id>

   • Replace <project_id> with the ID of the project.

     The first two rows in this table specify the backup quotas for the specified project. Examine the following columns in this table:

   • The In_use column indicates how much of each resource has been used.

   • The Limit column indicates whether the quota limits have been adjusted from their default settings, in this example both have been adjusted.

     $ cinder quota-usage c2c1da89ed1648fc8b4f35a045f8d34c
     +-----------------------+--------+----------+-------+-----------+
     | Type                  | In_use | Reserved | Limit | Allocated |
     +-----------------------+--------+----------+-------+-----------+
     | backup_gigabytes      | 235    | 0        | 500   |           |
     | backups               | 7      | 0        | 12    |           |
     ...

7. Exit the openstackclient pod:

   $ exit
