PUT /

Create new subtenant. Only authenticated users can create subtenants. Anonymous requests are never allowed to create subtenants. The current user will be the subtenant owner.

Request Headers

x-emc-date optionalThe current date and time according to the requester. Date is in UTC format. for example: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 19:37:28 GMT. Many HTTP clients set this header automatically. This date is used to check whether a request is valid within the web server's validity time window. For this purpose, the timestamp in the x-emc-date header takes priority over this header. The Web server first checks for the x-emc-date header and uses its timestamp. If the x-emc-date header is not present, the Web server checks for the Date header and uses its timestamp.
x-emc-uid requiredUser id of an application that uses this API
x-emc-namespace requiredNamespace to be used for this subtenant. If the name space is not specified using the x-emc-namespace header and if the request is from a registered ViPR user, then we use the namespace associated with that user. If all of these attempts fail, then the request is rejected.
x-emc-vpool requiredThe vPool to associate the new subtenant with. This determines the data stores which would be used to store the objects associated with this subtenant. If this header is not present, then we use the default vPool defined for the associated tenant.
x-emc-retention-period optionalImplicitly applying retention period in seconds for all objects in subtenant, -1 denotes infinity
x-emc-retention-start-delay optionalSpecifies the time period in seconds after which retention will be effective
