Providing Files to a Tenant

How to share files from the parent vSAN with a tenant, including ISO images, VM disk images, and other uploaded files.

A service provider can provide files, that are uploaded to the vSAN, to a tenant. For help in the initial upload of files to the parent vSAN, see: Uploading Files to the vSAN

Provide a File to a Tenant

1. From the top menu, navigate to Tenants > List.
2. Double-click on the desired tenant.
3. Click Add File on the left menu.
4. Select File Type from the dropdown list (HINT: you can select --ALL-- to get a listing of all files available, regardless of type; this will include *.raw files(VM disk images) from the parent VDC.)
5. Select a file from the dropdown list.
6. Click Submit (bottom of page).

The process is near-instant as it is done with a branch command. The file is now available to the tenant within their own Files section.
