What is the purpose of configuring quotas during provisioning?

• A. To enable deduplication
• B. To manage replication
• C. To monitor performance
• D. To control and enforce per-user or per-volume data limits

Answer: (D)

Setting quotas during provisioning controls and enforces space limits, ensuring that per-user or per-volume data usage stays within allocated boundaries. This prevents any one user or project from consuming more than its share, supports predictable capacity planning, and allows warning or blocking when usage nears or hits the limit. Quotas help manage growth and maintain service levels by enforcing fair sharing of storage resources. They aren’t about deduplication, replication, or monitoring performance, which are handled by other features.
