Create a Tenant

Note

Tenants, tenancies, and other features are available if you have paid for multi-tenant support. Contact Penguin Computing to learn more.

A tenant is a customer who rents nodes on a larger ICE ClusterWare ™ instance, or super-cluster. Each customer is represented by a single tenant object in the ClusterWare database. You can have more than one tenant in your super-cluster.

Use the cw-clusterctl tool to create a tenant:

cw-clusterctl tenant create name=<tenant name>

Where <tenant name> is a unique name used to identify the tenant. Names must start with an alphabet character, not a number.

The tenant must exist before you create a tenancy.
