SDC Host Module for Linux

This Terraform module installs the SDC package on a remote Linux host using the powerflex_sdc_host resource.

Example inputs

terraform.tfvars

    user = "root"
    private_key = ""
    certificate = ""
    password = "password"
    }

    # Define the attributes of the configuration for terraform PowerFlex provider.
    username = string
    endpoint = string
    password = string
  })

scini The SCINI module package related variables. 
object({
    # The URL where the SCINI module package is located. Ignored if autobuild_scini is true.
    url = optional(string)
    # specify distro where SDC will be deployed eg. RHEL9, Ubuntu etc. as case sensitive
    linux_distro = string
    #allow to build scini on destination machine. This may not work on PowerFlex v3.X. Prerequisites here https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000224134/how-to-on-demand-compilation-of-the-powerflex-sdc-driver 
    autobuild_scini = optional(bool, false)
