Lists the process for setting up a tenant.
About this task
To set up a tenant:
Procedure
-
On the server:
-
Log in to the cluster as the administrator and create a user (for the
tenant admin) on the cluster.
The user (for the tenant) must exist on all the cluster nodes with the
same UID and GID or all the cluster nodes must connect to the same LDAP
server. See
Managing Users and Groups for more
information.
NOTE
The superuser for a tenant, referred to as tenant
admin, must have a UID of
0
on the tenant host(s)
to access the tenant volume (only) and all data in the tenant
volume. Although the tenant admin has the same UID as the
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric
superuser, the tenant admin does not have the same level of access
and administration privileges as the
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric superuser
because the tenant admin’s access is based on the tenant ticket and
is restricted to the tenant volume.
-
Generate a tenant ticket for the user.
-
Copy the ticket to the tenant host and grant the tenant administrator
read access to the ticket.
-
Create a volume (or share) on the cluster for the tenant.
-
On the tenant instance:
-
Log in as tenant administrator (
root
).
-
Mount the filesystem using loopbacknfs or the FUSE-based POSIX
client.
For more information, see
Mounting a Tenant Volume.
NOTE
While
starting the POSIX client, use the tenant ticket configured in step
1.
-
As tenant admin, grant access to users by setting permissions to data
using either file
ACEs or mode bits.
