Parameters

Parameter

Comments

address

string

IPv4 or IPv6 address of interface.

api_token

string

FlashArray API token for admin privileged user.

client_id

string

added in purestorage.flasharray 1.43.0

ID of the API Client that issues the identity token.

disable_warnings

boolean

fa_url

string

FlashArray management IPv4 address or Hostname.

id_token

string

added in purestorage.flasharray 1.43.0

A pre-signed JWT to authenticate with, as an alternative to api_token.

The token is exchanged by the array for a short-lived access token.

Requires a matching API Client to be registered on the array (see purestorage.flasharray.purefa_apiclient).

issuer

string

added in purestorage.flasharray 1.43.0

The API Client’s trusted identity issuer registered on the array.

Used with private_key_file.

key_id

string

added in purestorage.flasharray 1.43.0

Key ID of the API Client that issues the identity token.

Used with private_key_file.

name

string / required

Interface name, including controller identifier.

VLANs are only supported on iSCSI, NVMe-RoCE and file physical interfaces

private_key_file

string

added in purestorage.flasharray 1.43.0

Path to the PEM RSA private key used to sign an identity token, as an alternative to api_token.

Requires client_id, key_id, issuer and username.

private_key_password

string

added in purestorage.flasharray 1.43.0

Password protecting private_key_file, if encrypted.

state

string

State of existing interface (on/off).

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

subnet

string / required

Notes

Note

  • This module requires the purestorage and py-pure-client Python libraries.

  • Additional Python libraries 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.

  • Token-based authentication (id_token, or private_key_file with client_id, key_id, issuer and username) may be used as an alternative to api_token, and requires a matching API Client registered on the array via purestorage.flasharray.purefa_apiclient.
