You must log in as root to perform the following steps.

Determine which file system(s) you want to restrict the users' to. Example, I am going to put a restriction for user "aaa". The user home directory is "/export/home/aaa" and is residing in the "/export" file system.

Create a file quotas in "/export" directory.
# touch /export/quotas

Set the size limit for user "aaa" and edit the soft and hard limit (see man for details)
#edquota aaa

Turn on quota
#quota -v /export
#quotacheck -v /export

To make it permanent next time you reboot, make sure you add the option quota in vfstab file for that file system

That's all folks
