Before you enable multitenancy, migrate the first tenant,
and create additional tenants, make sure that you have all required
information and resources to do so by completing the following tasks:
If don’t have an existing Prisma Access configuration, you
Enable
Multitenancy and add your tenants; then, then configure
the tenants after you create them. See
Create an All-New Multitenant Deployment for more
information.
Make a note of your license allocation for remote networks
and mobile users.
Open your license () and find the Prisma
Access Total Mbps (remote networks bandwidth
pool) for remote networks and User Limit (total
number of licensed users) for mobile users.
When you create
tenants, you assign resources for remote networks and mobile users
from this license allocation. If you run out of the minimum required
licensed Mbps for remote networks or mobile users, you cannot create
additional tenants.
You should also make a note of the
bandwidth and mobile users allocation for your existing configuration.
After you migrate your configuration to the first tenant, check
these values to verify that the first tenant migrated correctly.
Make a list of the names you will use to identify each tenant.
When you create tenant names, avoid using names
like
Tenant-1,
Tenant-2,
Tenant-3, and
so on. The system logs reserve a small number of characters for
the tenant name in the log output and, if tenants have similar names,
it can be difficult to associate the tenant with the logs. We recommend
using a unique and short name for tenants (for example,
Acme or
Hooli).
Make a list of the administrative users you will create and
assign for each tenant, and note the maximum number of administrative
users that can be logged in concurrently.
When administrative
users are performing normal multitenant operations such as configuration
changes and commit operations, we recommend having a maximum of
12 administrative users logged in to Panorama concurrently.
An
administrative user who can manage multiple tenants can provision
up to 200 tenants at the same time with a single commit operation.
Be sure that you have sufficient license resources to enable
multiple tenants.
The minimum license allocation for each
tenant is 200 Mbps for each remote network or 200 mobile users.
You can also create a tenant with only remote networks or mobile
users, and can configure tenants in differing configurations on
the same Panorama. For example, you could create a tenant with remote
networks only, a tenant with mobile users only, or a tenant with
both mobile users and remote networks, as long as each tenant meets
the minimum license allocation and the relevant licenses are activated
and associated with the Panorama where you configure the tenants.
When configuring a tenant in multitenancy mode, create a
unique name for each IPSec tunnel and IKE gateway for service connections
and remote network connections, and try to use a name that will
not be duplicated by another tenant. While there is no effect to
functionality, you cannot delete an IPSec tunnel or IKE gateway
if another tenant is using a tunnel or gateway with the same name.
Single-tenant users cannot view system logs; only superusers
can. You can, however,
sort logs by tenant.
When using the multitenancy feature and logged in as a tenant-level
administrative user, opening the Panorama Task Manager (clicking Tasks at
the bottom of the Panorama web interface) shows all tasks for all
tenants, including any tasks done at the superuser (Admin) level.
If you
back up a Panorama configuration,
then
revert it to an earlier
saved configuration, Panorama cannot revert to the configuration
you saved if you perform the following actions in the following
order:
Backup a Panorama configuration.
Delete a tenant.
Restore the configuration.
If you delete
a tenant, you cannot use any of the previous backups you saved before
you deleted the tenant. However, you can use any backups you make
after you delete the tenant.
