Disable Multitenancy
Tenant administrators can disable multitenancy using Dell Storage Manager or the CLI.
Prerequisite
Multitenancy can be disabled when only the default tenant exists; that is, to disable multitenancy, all tenants except for the default tenant

when all SMB shares and NFS exports have been deleted from the volume.
