In addition, it is possible to specify that users can exceed their quota limit. Enabling quotas and
not limiting disk space use is useful to still allow users access to a volume, but track disk space
use on a per-user basis. It is also possible to specify whether or not to log an event when users
exceed either their quota warning level or their quota limit.
When enabling disk quotas for a volume, volume usage is automatically tracked from that point
forward, but existing volume users have no disk quotas applied to them. Apply disk quotas to
existing volume users by adding new quota entries on the Quota Entries page.
NOTE: When enabling disk quotas on a volume, any users with write access to the volume
who have not exceeded their quota limit can store data on the volume. The first time a user writes
data to a quota-enabled volume, default values for disk space limit and warning level are
automatically assigned by the quota system.
For more information about disk quotas, read the online help.
NOTE: The quota information reported on a NFS file share when viewed from a linux system
will reflect the entire volume size. In order to provide each user with a notification of quota
information for their NFS shares it is recommended that a quota template be created through
the File Server Resource Manager. For more information go to https://technet.microsoft.com/

Adding storage

Expansion is the process of adding physical disks to an array that has already been configured.
Extension is the process of adding new storage space to an existing logical drive on the same
array, usually after the array has been expanded.
Storage growth may occur in three forms:
Extend unallocated space from the original logical disks or LUNs.
Alter LUNs to contain additional storage.
Add new LUNs to the system.
The additional space is then extended through a variety of means, depending on which type of
disk structure is in use.

Storage provisioning in HyperV and VMware

Click on the Whitepapers icon on desktop and refer to White Paper "Simple Storage for VMWare
vSphere 4 and 5 - HP StoreEasy 1000 and 3000 Storage" and https://technet.microsoft.com/

Expanding storage

Expansion is the process of adding physical disks to an array that has already been configured.
The logical drives (or volumes) that exist in the array before the expansion takes place are
unchanged, because only the amount of free space in the array changes. The expansion process
is entirely independent of the operating system.
NOTE: See your storage array hardware user documentation for further details about expanding
storage on the array.

Extending storage using Windows Storage Utilities

Volume extension grows the storage space of a logical drive. During this process, the administrator
adds new storage space to an existing logical drive on the same array, usually after the array
has been expanded. An administrator may have gained this new storage space by either expansion
or by deleting another logical drive on the same array. Unlike drive expansion, the operating
system must be aware of changes to the logical drive size.
