Administrator Guide

As an administrator, you must do the following to oer services to tenants:

1 Create resources that you want to oer to tenants, such as VM roles. This typically involves creating artifacts such as VHDs in the

tenant share of the VMM library, conguring Gallery items, and conguring the management portal for administrators to oer the

service.

2 Create plans (with quotas) and add-ons to bundle the services that you want to oer as a subscription.

3 Make plans private or public as needed.

4 Manage tenants and resources, and monitor usage.

Walkthrough: Deploying a stand-alone VM using the TenantPlan

The following outlines steps to take when deploying a VM with the TenantPlan.

Viewing and updating plan settings

To view and update the TenantPlan settings:

1 In the Windows Azure Pack management portal for administrators, click Plans.

2 Click TenantPlan.

3 Under Plan services, click Virtual Machine Clouds.

4 Scroll down the page to view the resources that are available to the plan. By default, several VM templates that map to Azure sizing

(except for storage) are available.

5 Under Networks, click Add networks. Select the check box for each tenant VM network that you want to add to the plan.

NOTE

: If the Management VM network is listed, remove it. If you see this VM network listed, make sure you have

completed the steps in Adding tenant VM networks to the cloud.

6 Click Save.

Enabling Remote Desktop in the default VM templates—optional

By default, Remote Desktop is not enabled in the operating system images that are used by the default VM templates. If you want to

enable Remote Desktop in the templates, you can use an answer le—Unattend.xml le.

1 On the Console VM, copy the following text to Notepad, and then save the le as RemoteDesktopUnattend.xml.
