orca quota

Inspect and update project quotas.

The reference below is generated from the live CLI by mkdocs-click. It always reflects the version installed.

orca quota

Inspect project quotas across Nova, Neutron and Cinder.

With no sub-command, runs quota show for backward compatibility.

Usage:

orca quota [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:

Name Type Description Default
--help boolean Show this message and exit. False

Subcommands

  • default: Show the cloud-wide default quotas (Nova + Cinder + Neutron).
  • delete: Reset project quotas to the cloud defaults (admin).
  • list: List projects with non-default quotas (admin).
  • set: Set quotas on Nova / Cinder / Neutron (admin).
  • show: Show project quotas — Nova, Neutron and Cinder usage vs limits.

orca quota default

Show the cloud-wide default quotas (Nova + Cinder + Neutron).

Parity with openstack quota show --default — Nova and Cinder each expose a /os-quota-sets/<project>/defaults endpoint that returns the same values regardless of the project; Neutron uses /quotas/default.

Usage:

orca quota default [OPTIONS]

Options:

Name Type Description Default
--project text Project ID (only used to look up defaults; Nova/Cinder return the same answer for any project). Sentinel.UNSET
--noindent boolean Disable JSON indentation. False
--max-width integer Maximum table width (0 = unlimited). None
--fit-width boolean Fit table to terminal width. False
--column, -c text Column to include (repeatable). Shows all if omitted. Sentinel.UNSET
--format, -f choice (table | json | value) Output format. table
--help boolean Show this message and exit. False

orca quota delete

Reset project quotas to the cloud defaults (admin).

Parity with openstack quota delete. With --service all (default) issues DELETE on Nova, Cinder and Neutron quota-sets for the project.

Usage:

orca quota delete [OPTIONS]

Options:

Name Type Description Default
--project text Project ID (default: current project). Sentinel.UNSET
--service choice (all | compute | volume | network) Which service's quota to reset. all
--yes boolean Skip the confirmation prompt. False
--help boolean Show this message and exit. False

orca quota list

List projects with non-default quotas (admin).

Parity with openstack quota list — restricted to Neutron because Nova and Cinder do not expose a cross-project list endpoint.

Usage:

orca quota list [OPTIONS]

Options:

Name Type Description Default
--service choice (network) Only Neutron exposes a list-all endpoint; Compute and Volume require a per-project fan-out (use orca quota show --project <id> instead). network
--noindent boolean Disable JSON indentation. False
--max-width integer Maximum table width (0 = unlimited). None
--fit-width boolean Fit table to terminal width. False
--column, -c text Column to include (repeatable). Shows all if omitted. Sentinel.UNSET
--format, -f choice (table | json | value) Output format. table
--help boolean Show this message and exit. False

orca quota set

Set quotas on Nova / Cinder / Neutron (admin).

Pass any combination of resource flags — only services with at least one flag receive a PUT. Use -1 for unlimited (Compute / Volume) or the explicit Neutron sentinel.

Examples: orca quota set --instances 50 --cores 100 orca quota set --project --volumes 20 --gigabytes 1000 orca quota set --networks 200 --routers 50

Usage:

orca quota set [OPTIONS]

Options:

Name Type Description Default
--project text Project ID (default: current project). Sentinel.UNSET
--instances integer Compute: max instances. Sentinel.UNSET
--cores integer Compute: max vCPUs. Sentinel.UNSET
--ram integer Compute: max RAM (MB). Sentinel.UNSET
--key-pairs integer Compute: max key pairs. Sentinel.UNSET
--server-groups integer Compute: max server groups. Sentinel.UNSET
--server-group-members integer Compute: max members per server group. Sentinel.UNSET
--metadata-items integer Compute: max metadata items per server. Sentinel.UNSET
--volumes integer Volume: max volumes. Sentinel.UNSET
--snapshots integer Volume: max snapshots. Sentinel.UNSET
--backups integer Volume: max backups. Sentinel.UNSET
--gigabytes integer Volume: total volume storage (GB). Sentinel.UNSET
--backup-gigabytes integer Volume: total backup storage (GB). Sentinel.UNSET
--per-volume-gigabytes integer Volume: max size per volume (GB). Sentinel.UNSET
--networks integer Network: max networks. Sentinel.UNSET
--subnets integer Network: max subnets. Sentinel.UNSET
--ports integer Network: max ports. Sentinel.UNSET
--routers integer Network: max routers. Sentinel.UNSET
--floating-ips integer Network: max floating IPs. Sentinel.UNSET
--security-groups integer Network: max security groups. Sentinel.UNSET
--security-group-rules integer Network: max security-group rules. Sentinel.UNSET
--subnetpools integer Network: max subnet pools. Sentinel.UNSET
--rbac-policies integer Network: max RBAC policies. Sentinel.UNSET
--force boolean Compute only: bypass the over-limit check on resources in use. False
--help boolean Show this message and exit. False

--noindent boolean Disable JSON indentation. False
--max-width integer Maximum table width (0 = unlimited). None
