HPE 3PAR Chef Cookbook

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, MU6
  • 3.3.1 MU1, 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 metadata.rb 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 storage_system 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.

• hpe3par::cpg
• hpe3par::flash_cache
• hpe3par::host

Non Idempotent Actions

Actions are Idempotent 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 non-idempotent:

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