Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_token string		FlashArray API token for admin privileged user.
count integer		Number of hosts to be created in a multiple host creation Only supported from Purity//FA v6.0.0 and higher
digits integer	Default: 1	Number of digits to use for multiple host count. This will pad the index number with zeros where necessary Only supported from Purity//FA v6.0.0 and higher Range is between 1 and 10
fa_url string		FlashArray management IPv4 address or Hostname.
host_password string		Sets the host password for CHAP authentication Password length between 12 and 255 characters To clear the username/password pair use clear as the password SETTING A PASSWORD IS NON-IDEMPOTENT
host_user string		Sets the host user name for CHAP authentication Required with host_password To clear the username/password pair use clear as the password
iqn list / elements=string		List of IQNs of the host if protocol is iscsi or mixed.
lun integer		LUN ID to assign to volume for host. Must be unique. If not provided the ID will be automatically assigned. Range for LUN ID is 1 to 4095.
name string / required		The name of the host. Note that hostnames are case-sensitive however FlashArray hostnames are unique and ignore case - you cannot have hosta and hostA Multi-host support available from Purity//FA 6.0.0 *NOTE* Manual deletion of individual hosts created using multi-host will cause idempotency to fail Multi-host support only exists for host creation aliases: host
nqn list / elements=string		List of NQNs of the host if protocol is nvme or mixed.
personality string	hpux vms aix esxi solaris hitachi-vsp oracle-vm-server delete ←	Define which operating system the host is. Recommended for ActiveCluster integration.
preferred_array list / elements=string		List of preferred arrays in an ActiveCluster environment. To remove existing preferred arrays from the host, specify delete.
protocol string	fc iscsi ← nvme mixed	Defines the host connection protocol for volumes.
rename string		The name to rename to. Note that hostnames are case-sensitive however FlashArray hostnames are unique and ignore case - you cannot have hosta and hostA
start integer	Default: 0	Number at which to start the multiple host creation index Only supported from Purity//FA v6.0.0 and higher
state string	absent present ←	Define whether the host should exist or not. When removing host all connected volumes will be disconnected.
suffix string		Suffix string, if required, for multiple host create Host names will be formed as #I, where # is a placeholder for the host index See associated descriptions Only supported from Purity//FA v6.0.0 and higher

target_user string		Sets the target user name for CHAP authentication Required with target_password To clear the username/password pair use clear as the password
volume string		Volume name to map to the host.
wwns list / elements=string		List of wwns of the host if protocol is fc or mixed.

Notes

Note

If specifying lun option ensure host support requested value
This module requires the purestorage Python library
You must set PUREFA_URL and PUREFA_API environment variables if fa_url and api_token arguments are not passed to the module directly
