You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install purestorage.flashblade. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: purestorage.flashblade.purefb_policy.

New in purestorage.flashblade 1.0.0

Synopsis

  • Manage policies for filesystem, file replica links and object store access.

  • To update an existing snapshot policy rule, you must first delete the original rule and then add the new rule to replace it. Purity’s best-fit will try to ensure that any required snapshots deleted on the deletion of the first rule will be recovered as long replacement rule is added before the snapshot eradication period is exceeded (usuually 24 hours).
