Product Description

The Terraform Provider for Dell PowerFlex allows Data Center and IT administrators to use Hashicorp Terraform to automate and orchestrate the provisioning and management of Dell PowerFlex storage systems.

New Features & Enhancements

• Added Support for PowerFlex Gen2 (5.x) architecture.

Resources

• Storage Node - Create, Read, Update, Delete, Import (Gen2)
• Device Group - Create, Read, Update, Delete, Import (Gen2)
• Device Action - Create, Read (Gen2)
• Storage Pool Erasure Coding - Create, Read, Update, Delete (Gen2)
• Volume Action - Create, Read (Gen2)

Data Sources

• Storage Node Datasource (Gen2)
• Device Group Datasource (Gen2)

Enhancements

• Added support for configuring the PowerFlex provider using environment variables.
• Added Gen2 5.x attributes (storage_node_id, device_group_id, erasure_coding_policy, protection_scheme, compression_method) to the Device and Storage Pool resources, with backward compatible deprecation of sds_id/sds_name.
• Added IP address validation for MDM IP list values.
• Added a migration guide for moving from PowerFlex 4.x to 5.x.
• Marked credential fields as sensitive across PowerFlex resource and data source schemas.
• Replaced insecure SSH host key handling with known_hosts based validation.
• Fixed powerflex_template and powerflex_node data sources to fall back to Bearer authentication on PFMP 5.1.
• Fixed an issue where volumes not managed by Terraform were incorrectly unmapped from the SDC during a terraform destroy of the SDC Volume Mapping resource.

Removal

Deprecations

• sds_id and sds_name on the Device resource are deprecated in favor of storage_node_id and device_group_id for PowerFlex 5.x (Gen2) systems.

Known Issues

• NA

Limitations

• NVMe over TCP is supported in PowerFlex 4.0 and later versions, therefore powerflex_nvme_host, powerflex_nvme_target and SDT deployment using Cluster resource are not supported in PowerFlex 3.x.
• Due to certain limitations, updating the NVMe host in PowerFlex versions earlier than 4.6 is not supported.
• Gen2 resources and data sources (powerflex_storage_node, powerflex_device_group, powerflex_device_action, powerflex_storage_pool_erasure_coding, powerflex_volume_action) require PowerFlex 5.x and are not supported on earlier PowerFlex versions.

Distribution

The software package is available for download from the Official Terraform Registry as well as from the Terraform Provider for PowerFlex GitHub page.
