The hpe3par cookbook manages HPE 3PAR storage arrays by using the HPE3PARClient ruby SDK. The HPE3PARClient interacts 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 to hpe3par from hpe3par_cookbook in order to use the resources.

• 3PAR OS - 3.2.2MU4, 3.3.1 MU1
• Ruby - 2.4.1 or higher.
• Chef - 12.1 or higher.
• WSAPI service should be enabled on the 3PAR storage array.

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_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

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'
}

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.
