Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

How DDMC helps with SMT monitoring

DDMC can configure and monitor Secure Multitenancy (SMT) for DD Boost backup and replication storage on multiple Data Domain systems.

In a secure multi-tenant environment, storage administrators (landlords) and backup administrators (tenants) cooperate to allocate and manage storage, as follows:

1. The storage administrator creates Tenants on DDMC.

   For example, the storage administrator in a corporate IT organization might create a Tenant for the backup administrator in the finance department.

2. The storage administrator creates one or more Tenant Units on systems to serve as virtual containers for each Tenant.
3. The storage administrator creates one or more MTrees or DD Boost Storage Units.
4. The backup administrator configures backup software to use the MTrees in the Tenant Unit as storage targets.

For more information, see the "Secure Multitenancy" chapter of the DDOS Administration Guide.
