FairShare Weights Control Methods

The FairShare weight is capped at a maximum value of 100,000. The current implementation uses an integer scale. The use of large ratios within a FairShare group, often as an attempt to implement a priority based queuing system, is discouraged.

Set FairShare Weights Via the Web Interface

Figure 1.

Accelerator Admins can change the FairShare group weights from the browser. The weights can either be changed by using the +/- buttons on the right, which changes the weight by 10%, or the weight can simply be entered under the weight column. As with many configurations in Accelerator, the changing of weights is only permitted by Accelerator Admins.

You can also use vovfsgroup to change the FairShare weights at any time.
