Multi-Tenancy on VMware VSAN

[MohammadrezaGha]

Hello friends,

I'm working on a scenario in my lab to provide virtual datacenters by integrating opennebula and vCenter without vCloud Director, I'm going to use VSAN as storage provider for vDCs, How can I have multitenancy on VSAN datastore? Should I create a separate VSAN datastore for each tenant? is there a way to manage multitenancy on a single VSAN datastore?

Thank you

there's no such a thing with vSAN. You get a single datastore always.

Hi @MohammadrezaGha ,

Like @depping said, this is not possible on vSAN. Not sure why you would want to do this. If you are going to use VMware Cloud Director you are already de-coupling the hardware with the software layer. VCD has build-in multi-tenancy support, this should be enough.

If your use-case goes deeper than this, you should think about using seperate storage arrays per customer (this will get expensive...).
