User Inputs:


 

 
  • Tenant Name
  • Tenant Contact Email
  • Datastore Size
  • Size Units
  • Storage Cluster Node placement
  • Storage Cluster Aggregate placement
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Prerequisites:


 

 
  • All required component/devices must be added to UCS Director
  • The vSphere cluster to be used must have a DV switch available
  • Create a VLAN pool policy for tenant VLANs
  • CUSTOM TASK:  Get Tenant
      Onboarding IP values
 
 
 
 

 

Limitations:


 

 
  • To simplify required inputs, this example workflow uses an
      auto-generated IP schema which limits the number of tenants to 255.  To extend beyond this limit, the workflow
      should be modified to integrate with an IP management system.
