Creating AIX groups

Creating AIX groups

1. Change directory to /homecomm/nsek/create_id_grp.

2. Check the content of last_grp_num.

e.g # cat last_grp_num
1263
Use the next id in file to create new group
Update the new number in file last_grp_num

3. If group is already created on other servers, re-use the same user group number.

4. Edit the mkgroup -A id=<id> <group> command in the appropripate mkgroup scripts in below under the appropriate server section.

mkgroup_batch.ksh
mkgroup_adm.ksh
mkgroup_read.ksh
mkgroup_instance.ksh
mkgroup_etl.ksh
mkgroup_usr.ksh
e.g. Create a group “uatwrite” in server opfqa02
Edit mkgroup -A id=1264 uatwrite in file “mkgroup_user.ksh
#-----------------#
# opfqa02
#-----------------#
mkgroup -A id=1258 biouctl
mkgroup -A id=1263 uatread
mkgroup -A id=1264 uatwrite

5. Copy and paste the mkgroup command and execute on the target server.

6. Update the last_grp_num file (e.g 1264).
