Description

If you increase a user allocation, CA VM:Secure checks that the allocation does not exceed your allocation limit in the affected user storage group, and that it does not exceed the user storage group’s own allocation limit. If it does, the request fails. For instance, if a particular SFS manager can only allocate 200 more blocks in a certain user storage group and you try to increase an allocation of 500 blocks to 800 blocks, your request will fail. Similarly, if there are only 150 blocks remaining to be allocated in a user storage group and you try to increase an allocation of 500 blocks to 800 blocks, your request will fail.

If you decrease a user allocation, CA VM:Secure checks that the user still has enough space for the current data. If not, the request fails. For instance, suppose a user allocation is 800 blocks and 650 of those blocks are in use. If you try to decrease the allocation to 600 blocks, the request will fail.

You cannot enroll a user ID in a file pool through this command. If you want to enroll a user ID in a file pool, use the ENROLL command.
