When you create a tenant template, you choose between the following two allocation options:

  • Set new objects not to allocate space
  • Set new objects to delay space allocation

Note that the option to allocate space immediately is not available, since it would disallow the creation of partition mapping for any tenant you create with the template. A template that stipulates that allocation should be immediate would establish default assignments and ignore any area assignments you try to set, as allocation would already be complete.
