Puppet Task: remote_system_create

Defined in:: tasks/remote_system_create.json,
tasks/remote_system_create.rb

Overview

Create a new remote system relationship. The type of remote system being connected requires different parameter sets. For PowerStore remote system relationships, include the following parameters:* Management address - Either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. FQDN is not supported.* Type of remote system * Data network latency typeFor PowerStore remote system relationships, the relationship is created in both directions. Remote protection policies can be configured using the PowerStore remote system instance on either of the systems. This enables remote replication for storage resources in either direction. The data connections take into account whether Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is enabled on local and remote PowerStore systems.For non-PowerStore remote system relationships, include the following parameters:* Management address - Either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. FQDN is not supported.* Type of remote system* Name* Description* Remote administrator credentials* iSCSI address - IPv4 address* CHAP mode for discovery or session * CHAP secrets detailsAfter the remote system relationship is created, the local system can communicate with the remote system, and open data connections for data transfer.

Supports noop? false

Parameters

data_network_latency (Optional[Enum['Low','High']]) — Network latency choices for a remote system. Replication traffic can be tuned for higher efficiency depending on the expected network latency. This will only be used when the remote system type is PowerStore.* Low - Less than 5 milliseconds.* High - More than 5 milliseconds.
description (Optional[String[0,256]]) — User-specified description of the remote system.
discovery_chap_mode (Optional[Enum['Disabled','Single','Mutual']]) — Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) status:* Disabled * Single - Enabled for initiator authentication.* Mutual - Enabled for initiator and target authentication.
import_chap_info (Optional[Struct[{Optional[initiator_discovery_password] => Optional[String], Optional[initiator_discovery_username] => Optional[String], Optional[initiator_session_password] => Optional[String], Optional[initiator_session_username] => Optional[String], Optional[target_discovery_password] => Optional[String], Optional[target_discovery_username] => Optional[String], Optional[target_session_password] => Optional[String], Optional[target_session_username] => Optional[String], }]]) — Information about the initiator, target session, or discovery CHAP secrets.
iscsi_addresses (Optional[Array[String]]) — iSCSI target IP addresses for the data connection to the remote system. Must be specified when creating a non-PowerStore remote system.
management_address (String) — Management IP address of the remote system instance. Only IPv4 is supported for non-PowerStore remote systems.Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported for PowerStore remote systems.
name (Optional[String[0,128]]) — User-specified name of the remote system. Used only for non-PowerStore systems. This value must contain 128 or fewer printable Unicode characters.
remote_password (Optional[String]) — Password used to access the remote system. Used only for non-PowerStore systems.
remote_username (Optional[String]) — Username used to access the remote system. Used only for non-PowerStore systems.
session_chap_mode (Optional[Enum['Disabled','Single','Mutual']]) — Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) status:* Disabled * Single - Enabled for initiator authentication.* Mutual - Enabled for initiator and target authentication.
type (Optional[Enum['PowerStore','Unity','VNX','PS_Equallogic','Storage_Center','XtremIO']]) — Remote system connection type between the local system and the following remote systems: * PowerStore - PowerStore system* Unity - Unity import system* VNX - VNX import system* PS_Equallogic - PS EqualLogic import system* Storage_Center - Storage Center import system* XtremIO - XtremIO import system
