Configure a tenant in Content Platform

To create a Content Platform tenant, you need the administrator role.

You must create a Hitachi Content Platform tenant for Data Optimizer. In most cases, Data Optimizer instances create their own buckets, so you need to properly configure namespace defaults to result in properly configured buckets.

Use the following steps to configure a tenant in Content Platform.

1. In the top-level menu of the Hitachi Content Platform System Management Console, click Tenants.

   The Tenants page opens.

2. On the Tenants page, click Create Tenant.

   The Create Tenant panel opens.

3. On the Create Tenant panel, create a tenant, making sure to:

   • Allocate enough quota for all anticipated Data Optimizer instances.

   • Enable versioning. See the Hitachi Content Platform product documentation for more information.

4. Use the following steps to enable the management API (MAPI), so that Data Optimizer instances can create buckets.

   1. Log into the System Management Console or Tenant Management Console using a user account with the security role.

   2. In the top-level menu of either console, select Security > MAPI.

      The Management API page opens.

   3. In the Management API Setting section on the Management API page, select Enable the HCP management API.

   4. Click Update Settings

5. Enable MAPI at the cluster level.

6. Use the following steps to configure namespace defaults for the tenant:

   1. From the Content Platform Tenant Management Console, select Configuration > Namespace Defaults.

   2. In the Hard Quota field, type a new number of gigabytes or terabytes of storage to allocate for an individual Data Optimizer instance namespace and select either GB or TB to indicate the measurement unit. The default is 50 GB. The maximum value you can specify is equal to the hard quota for the tenant.

   3. Set Cloud Optimized to On.

   4. Set Versioning to On.

   5. Enable version pruning older than 0 days.
