Use this feature to monitor the amount of physical space allotted to the volume. Select the Enable NMV quota check box to enter an amount of storage (MB) for the quota. The application server may continue to allocate storage units after the quota has been exceeded; however, write errors messages to the Event Log will continue to be generated. |

Stop writes if quota exceeded |
This NMV feature is used in conjunction with NMV quotas. Select the Stop writes if quota exceeded check box to stop I/O writes to the selected volume when the quota has been reached. |

Hot Spare |

When enabled, the volume icon changes to blue for quick identification in the Virtual Volumes tab. Hot spares cannot be part of a virtual volume. For more information, refer to Configuring Hot Spare Replacements. |
