Management of Pure Storage FlashArray

Installation Prerequisites

  • You will need the purestorage python package in your python installation path that is running salt.

    pip install purestorage
    
  • Configure Pure Storage FlashArray authentication. Use one of the following three methods.

    1. From the minion config

    pure_tags:
      fa:
        san_ip: management vip or hostname for the FlashArray
        api_token: A valid api token for the FlashArray being managed
    
    1. From environment (PUREFA_IP and PUREFA_API)

    2. From the pillar (PUREFA_IP and PUREFA_API)
