Running the Chargeback Report
This example assumes that departments are charged for storage resource usage by
the amount of storage they use in network and host-based file systems. Here, the
StorageScope administrator has created a File Group for Chargeback for each
department, assigned a cost per unit of storage for each group, and populated each
group with the file systems used by the department assigned to it.
