This section describes the actions to be performed by the service provider admin in order to enable the super tenant.

Create a Super Tenant

The service provider administrator should follow the steps below to enable super tenant capabilities at the time of tenant registration. Please make sure that you have prepared the required infrastructure for the super tenant as described above.

To enable the super tenant during initial registration, perform the steps below.

  1. Log in to Service Center and click on the Tenants tab.
  2. Click on the Register a tenant link and select the Super Tenant check box.
  3. Follow the normal tenant registration steps.
  4. When the tenant appliances have been successfully created, log into Service Center and navigate to tenants > policy.
  5. Select the tenant organization from the Organization dropdown menu.
  6. Set the fabric.pool.network.assignments policy to true.

Enable an Existing Tenant as a Super Tenant

A service provider administrator can also enable super tenant capabilities for an existing tenant. To enable the super tenant after initial registration, perform the steps below.

  1. Log into Service Center and click on the Tenants tab.
  2. Click the Edit button for the tenant which you want to promote.
  3. On the General tab, select the Super Tenant checkbox and click Update.

Add Networks for a Super Tenant

A service provider administrator must add networks to be used for super tenant customers in the platform. To add networks, follow the procedure below.

  1. Log into Service Center and click on the Tenants tab.
  2. Click the Edit button for the appropriate tenant.
  3. Select the Networks tab and then click the Add Network Component link.
  4. Enter the network details and click Add Network Component.
Note: Fill in the Network Label field on the Networks tab with a user-friendly name associated with the tenant network. This field appears at pool creation time to allow you to associate a pool with a network.

Disabling the Super Tenant Option

A service provider administrator cannot disable the Super Tenant option for a tenant. This is by design.
