Bluemix - Assigning Space Quota while creating space


I am trying to create a space with a specific space quota plan assigned through CF CLI command. I had created a space quota plan called myPlanTiny and fired the CLI command as below.

cf create-space mySpace1 -o my_org1 -q myPlanTiny

The space got created, however the quota plan assignment did not take effect. Only the default plan got assigned to the newly created space. My Bluemix account is a public bluemix account.

Requesting your help to understand why the space quota assignment does not take effect.

Thanks.


Solution

  • The assigned quota is set to default for each newly created space, both from UI and CF CLI. This quota is related to the org and not to the single space in public Bluemix. Anyway there is a reserved set of cf commands that only administrators can run. These commands include for example things around quota and creating orgs, this could be the reason why you are not able to change the quota. If you are an Admin you should be able to set a custom quota and use it in a newly created space using the command you provided. After doing this, if the command cf space <spacename> still shows the default I suggest you to open a support request using one of the following methods in order to engage the Bluemix Project Office Team:

    • Use the Support Widget. It is available from the user avatar in the    upper right corner of the main Bluemix UI.  After opening the support    widget panel, select Get Help > Get In Touch , select the type of    assistance you need, and then fill out the support form.

    • Use the Support Site 'Get Help' form. This form is available on a separate site that is made available for ticket submission when you cannot log into Bluemix and access the Support Widget.  Go to http://ibm.biz/bluemixsupport and fill in the support request form.
