About this task

Suppose that two departments contributed to the purchase of a large system. The engineering department contributed 70 percent of the cost, and the accounting department 30 percent. Each department wants to get their money’s worth from the system.

Procedure

  1. Define two user groups in lsb.users, one listing all the engineers, and one listing all the accountants. 
    Begin UserGroup 
Group_Name   Group_Member 
eng_users    (user6 user4) 
acct_users   (user2 user5) 
End UserGroup
  2. Configure a host partition for the host, and assign the shares appropriately. 
    Begin HostPartition 
HPART_NAME = big_servers 
HOSTS = hostH 
USER_SHARES = [eng_users, 7] [acct_users, 3] 
End HostPartition
