[gpfsug-discuss] Callbacks / softQuotaExceeded

We were looking at adding some callbacks to notify us when file-sets go
over their inode limit by implementing it as a soft inode quota.

In the docs:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STXKQY_4.2.3/com.ibm.spectru
m.scale.v4r23.doc/bl1adm_mmaddcallback.htm#mmaddcallback__Table1


There is an event filesetLimitExceeded, which has parameters: %inodeUsage
%inodeQuota, however the docs say that we should instead use
softQuotaExceeded as filesetLimitExceeded "It exists only for
compatibility (and may be deleted in a future version); therefore, using
softQuotaExceeded is recommended instead"

However.

softQuotaExceeded seems to have no %inodeQuota of %inodeUsage parameters.
Is this a doc error or is there genuinely no way to get the
inodeQuota/Usage with softQuotaExceeded? The same applies to passing
%quotaEventType.


Any suggestions?

Simon
