Data segregation with filesets link

The customer has a fileset. The application used is SAP netweaver.
It runs on the cluster with one same uid/gid.

The physical users are connected to this application remotelly and there is no UID/GID specific to them. One of the SAP transaction permits to see the storage directories on GPFS.

But they don't want to have all the filesets exposed on all the hosts of the cluster.

They can't make different file systems because they are constraint in storage disks numbers.

Having the possibility to expose a fileset link on specific nodes would help them to segregate the data.

The command could be :

mmlinkfileset Device FilesetName [-J JunctionPath] -N Node or nodeclass
