Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
api_token string	FlashArray API token for admin privileged user.
client string	Specifies which SMB or NFS clients are given access Accepted notation, IP, IP mask, or hostname
directory list / elements=string added in 1.9.0 of purestorage.flasharray	Directories to have the quota rule applied to.
enabled boolean	Define if policy is enabled or not Choices: no yes ← (default)
fa_url string	FlashArray management IPv4 address or Hostname.
ignore_usage boolean added in 1.9.0 of purestorage.flasharray	Flag used to override checks for quota management operations. If set to true, directory usage is not checked against the quota_limits that are set. If set to false, the actual logical bytes in use are prevented from exceeding the limits set on the directory. Client operations might be impacted. If the limit exceeds the quota, the client operation is not allowed. Choices: no ← (default) yes
name string / required	Name of the policy
nfs_access string	Specifies access control for the export Choices: root-squash no-root-squash ← (default)
nfs_permission string	Specifies which read-write client access permissions are allowed for the export Choices: ro rw ← (default)
policy string / required	The type of policy to use Choices: nfs smb snapshot quota
quota_enforced boolean	Defines if the directory quota is enforced. Choices: no yes ← (default)
quota_limit string added in 1.9.0 of purestorage.flasharray	Logical space limit of the share in M, G, T or P units. See examples. If size is not set at filesystem creation time the filesystem size becomes unlimited. This value cannot be set to 0.
quota_notifications list / elements=string added in 1.9.0 of purestorage.flasharray	Targets to notify when usage approaches the quota limit. The list of notification targets is a comma-separated string If not specified, notification targets are not assigned. Choices: user group
rename string	New name of policy
smb_anon_allowed boolean	Specifies whether access to information is allowed for anonymous users Choices: no ← (default) yes
smb_encrypt boolean	Specifies whether the remote client is required to use SMB encryption Choices: no ← (default) yes
snap_at string	Specifies the number of hours since midnight at which to take a snapshot or the hour including AM/PM Can only be set on the rule with the smallest snap_every value. Cannot be set if the snap_every value is not measured in days. Can only be set for at most one rule in the same policy.
snap_client_name string	The customizable portion of the client visible snapshot name.
snap_every integer	Specifies the interval between snapshots, in minutes. The value for all rules must be multiples of one another. Must be unique for each rule in the same policy. Value must be between 5 and 525600.
snap_keep_for integer	Specifies the period that snapshots are retained before they are eradicated, in minutes. Cannot be less than the snap_every value of the rule. Value must be unique for each rule in the same policy. Value must be between 5 and 525600.
snap_suffix string added in 1.10.0 of purestorage.flasharray	The snapshot suffix name The suffix value can only be set for one rule in the same policy The suffix value can only be set on a rule with the same `keep_for` value and `every` value The suffix value can only be set on the rule with the largest `keep_for` value If not specified, defaults to a monotonically increasing number generated by the system.
state string	Define whether the policy should exist or not. Choices: absent present ← (default)

Notes 

Note

This module requires the purestorage and py-pure-client Python libraries
Additional Python librarues may be required for specific modules.
You must set PUREFA_URL and PUREFA_API environment variables if fa_url and api_token arguments are not passed to the module directly
