purefa_pg – Manage protection groups on Pure Storage FlashArrays

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

  • Create, delete or modify protection groups on Pure Storage FlashArrays.
  • If a protection group exists and you try to add non-valid types, eg. a host to a volume protection group the module will ignore the invalid types.
  • Protection Groups on Offload targets are supported.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 2.7
  • purestorage
