To enable you to control the storage that each tenant can use in a specific cloud storage service level, Abiquo 5.3.1 introduces Abstract datastore tiers with limits.

To display and manage groups of datastore tiers at the private cloud level, go to Infrastructure view → Abstract datastore tiers. 

These Abstract datastore tiers enable you to set cloud storage limits per tenant in more than one datacenter, including hard limits, that will block users, and soft limits, which can trigger a warning message for users or an event that you can capture and send as a lead to your cloud sales team! 

The And the Abstract datastore tiers widget will display storage usage and limits for the platform-wide service levels, which can each include multiple hypervisor datastores. You can rename this widget for your dashboard as always.

To restrict the total storage that a tenant can use in a specific service level, add a limit for the platform tier. Just edit the enterprise and set set the limit in Allocation limits.

Note that all the platform-wide storage service levels will display, even if the tenant does not have access to them.

So you will still need to grant the tenant access to individual tiers in each datacenter. Within each enterprise, when you edit the datacenter and go to limits, only the tiers that the enterprise can access will display.

You can also set limits at for the datacenter only and they will be independent of the enterprise limits.

The  Abstract datastore tier limits per tenant apply to new deploys, reconfiguring VMs, and VMs that are captured from hypervisors to onboard them into the platform.
