HPE 3PAR Cookbook for Chef

The hpe3par cookbook is a starter kit which provides types and providers, using which you can write recipes to manage HPE 3PAR storage arrays.
This cookbook uses the hpe3par_sdk to communicate with the 3PAR storage arrays over http/https through the WSAPI REST service
hosted on the array.

This cookbook is not intended to include any recipes. Use it by creating a new cookbook and specifying a dependency on this cookbook in your metadata. Then use any of the resources provided by this cookbook.

Note: The cookbook name is 'hpe3par'. If you want to directly use from source, you need to rename the directory hpe3par_chef_cookbook to hpe3par in order to use the resources.

Requirements

• 3PAR OS
  • 3.2.2 MU4 + 106, MU6 + P107
  • 3.3.1 MU2
• Ruby - 2.4.x
• Chef - 12.x
• WSAPI service should be enabled on the 3PAR storage array.

Usage

Add the following line to the <code>metadata.rb</code> file of your cookbook

 # my_cookbook/metadata.rb
 ...
 depends 'hpe3par'

Now, you can utilize the hpe3par cookbook resources in your recipes, for ex:

Creating a Virtual Volume

hpe3par_virtual_volume node['hpe3par']['virtual_volume']['name'] do
  storage_system node['hpe3par']['storage_system']
  cpg node['hpe3par']['virtual_volume']['cpg']
  size node['hpe3par']['virtual_volume']['size']
  size_unit node['hpe3par']['virtual_volume']['size_unit']
  type node['hpe3par']['virtual_volume']['type']
  action :create
end

HPE 3PAR Connection settings

The connection settings for connecting to a 3PAR array are defined through attributes. Every hpe3ar resource has a <code>storage_system</code> attribute which represents the connection to the 3PAR array. The attribute definition for this is as follows:

node['hpe3par']['storage_system'] = {
    name: 'SRA_205',
    ip: '16.192.67.205',
    user: '3par_user',
    password: 'password'
}

Recipes

These are intended as samples/reference only and can be found in the recipes folder. These recipes list out
all of the actions for each resource.

Non Idempotent Actions

Actions are <em>Idempotent</em> when they can be run multiple times on the same system and the results will always be identical, without producing unintended side effects.

The following actions are <b><em>non-idempotent</em></b>:

• Clone: resync, create_offline
• Snapshot: restore online, restore offline
• Virtual Volume: grow (grow_to_size is idempotent)
• VLUN: All actions become non-idempotent when <em>autolun</em> is set to <em>true</em>
