Mounting a Tenant Volume

Describes the steps to mount and access a tenant volume.

About this task

After the tenant volume is created on the cluster (for a multi-tenant environment), access the tenant volume on the tenant host with the following steps:

Procedure

Log in to the tenant host as the tenant admin (root) and verify that a valid tenant ticket is available on the tenant host.

For example, run the following command:

~tenantAdmin@tenantHost: maprlogin print -ticketfile /user/tenantAdmin/tenant_sample_ticket.txt
Opening keyfile /user/tenantAdmin/tenant_sample_ticket.txt
cHost: user = sampleTenant, created = 'Mon Jul 11 07:14:53 UTC 2016', 
expires = 'Mon Jul 11 07:14:53 UTC 12016', RenewalTill = 'Mon Jul 11 07:14:53 UTC 12016', 
uid = 500, gids = 500, 42, CanImpersonate = true, tenant = true

Perform one of the following:
- Set up the FUSE-based POSIX client configuration parameters (see Configuring HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric FUSE-based POSIX Client for Tenant Environment) and mount the volume (see Mounting the file system).
- Set up an alias for NFS exports to export the tenant volume path (see Setting Up Aliases for NFS Exports) and mount the volume for loopbacknfs service (see Starting the mapr-loopbacknfs Service to Access a Cluster).
Create accessible directories within the provisioned space for the tenant users.
