Tenant Admin - Deploy a Tenant Horizon Edge to a Partition in the Partner Organization

As a tenant administrator with a relationship to a partner organization that is using the Partner Admin Console for Horizon Cloud, you can deploy a tenant Edge for vSphere using a partition identifier that is provided to you by your partner organization instead of using your own vSphere credentials.

Note: The Horizon Partner Admin Console is currently available in Limited Availability (LA) mode only.

In this procedure, the tenant administrator creates a Horizon Edge for vSphere deployment in their Horizon Cloud instance using an assigned partition that is to them provided by their partner organization.

Note: The vSphere resource partition capability is available only on request. To request access to the partition function, the partner organization must open a support ticket at Omnissa Customer Connect to request enabling the partition capability for their required tenant organizations.
