About Multitenancy
Multitenancy enables a single physical FluidFS cluster to be partitioned into several separate service entities (tenants) and manage each
one individually. FluidFS supports up to 100 tenants. When multitenancy is enabled, the user interface is optimized and includes the
tenants view.
Network connections – Each tenant utilizes exclusive IP addresses (virtual IPs). Users who have access to the tenant’s VIP can only
see that tenant’s NFS exports, SMB shares, and so on.
Authentication and user repositories – Each tenant utilizes its own authentication and user repositories. Each tenant can define and
use the following settings:
• DNS configuration – The DNS configuration of the default tenant serves the cluster services (such as NTP).
• Active Directory – Each tenant can join a different Active Directory. Two tenants can also join the same Active Directory (with
separate tenant computer objects in Active Directory).
• LDAP or NIS
• Local users and groups
• User mapping
Reusing of same name in different tenants – Multitenancy supports using the same SMB share name and the same local user or
group name.
Volume Replication – Administrators can define between which tenants volume replication is allowed.
Managing tenants – FluidFS v6 added a new type of administrator called tenant administrators. A tenant administrator has the ability to:
• See (but not update) all of the general cluster settings
• Manage tenants they have been granted Tenant Administrator access to, including all the NAS volumes that belong to those tenants
• Receive email events that are relevant to the entire cluster and to the tenants they have been granted Tenant Administrator access
to, such as power-down events
