Overview

The Puppet Module for HPE OneView provides resource style declaration capabilities to Puppet manifests for managing HPE OneView Appliances.

Module description

The Puppet Module for HPE OneView allows for management of HPE OneView Appliances through the use of puppet manifests and resource style declarations, which makes internal use of the HPE OneView Ruby SDK and HPE OneView API.

It adds several resource types to puppet, and uses ensurable methods such as present, absent and other custom ensurable methods to manage the appliance to allow users to easily create, update, query and delete resources.

For more information on the Puppet Module for HPE OneView resource types and their specifications, see the Usage and examples.

Setup

Requirements

  • Puppet V4.1 or greater
  • Ruby V2.3.1 or greater
  • oneview-sdk-ruby V5.11.0 or greater (available as a gem)

Beginning with the Puppet Module for HPE OneView

To install this module from the Puppet Forge, with enough permissions to install puppet modules, use the command:

puppet module install hewlettpackard-oneview

Alternatively, you can clone the source code from https://github.com/HewlettPackard/oneview-puppet into your Puppet module path using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/HewlettPackard/oneview-puppet <your_module_path>/oneview

:exclamation: NOTE: HPE recommends that the cloned directory be named oneview. It should also be noted that if the directory name contains any dashes it will not be found by puppet.

Usage

OneView appliance authentication

The attributes required for authenticating with your HPE OneView Appliance are:

  • ONEVIEW_URL - The web address for the HPE OneView appliance. For example, https://oneview.example.com
  • ONEVIEW_TOKEN - Set either this or the ONEVIEW_USER and ONEVIEW_PASSWORD.
  • ONEVIEW_USER - The HPE OneView appliance username.
  • ONEVIEW_PASSWORD - The HPE OneView appliance password.
  • ONEVIEW_API_VERSION - This defaults to the 200 API version (Minimum supported by oneview-sdk gem).
  • ONEVIEW_LOG_LEVEL - The log level of the HPE OneView appliance. This defaults to info
  • ONEVIEW_SSL_ENABLED - HPE recommends setting this value to true
  • ONEVIEW_HARDWARE_VARIANT - Set this to C7000 or Synergy, according to the appliance's enclosure's model. This defaults to C7000 :warning: The Synergy hardware variant is only available for API version >= 300 (OneView 3.0) :warning:

You can assign attributes for your appliances using three methods:

  1. Create a json file named login.json on your working directory, and enter the authentication information for your appliance. See login_rename.json for an example.

  2. If you do not want to use the login file on the working directory, any json file containing the authentication information for the appliance can be used by setting the following environment variable:

    • ONEVIEW_AUTH_FILE - This environment variable should contain the full path to the json file containing the authentication information.

  3. Directly declare the authentication attributes mentioned previously as environment variables. The module will automatically use those values.

:exclamation: NOTE: All information stored on the login file or json files should be in clear text. To avoid security issues HPE recommends verifying the access permissions for those files.

Synergy Image Streamer authentication

The attributes required for authenticating with your HPE Synergy Image Streamer appliance are:

  • IMAGE_STREAMER_URL - The web address for the HPE Image Streamer appliance. For example, https://imagestreamer.example.com
  • IMAGE_STREAMER_API_VERSION - The API version for the HPE Image Streamer. This defaults to 300
  • IMAGE_STREAMER_LOG_LEVEL - The log level of the HPE Image Streamer appliance. This defaults to info
  • IMAGE_STREAMER_SSL_ENABLED - HPE recommends setting this value to true

The following attribute must be set only if you haven't configured the credentials to authenticate with your HPE OneView Appliance:

  • IMAGE_STREAMER_TOKEN - The authentication token for the HPE Image Streamer. This is the same token used to access the HPE OneView REST API.

:exclamation: NOTE: All information stored on the login file or json files should be in clear text. To avoid security issues HPE recommends verifying the access permissions for those files.

You can assign attributes for your appliances using three methods:

  1. Create a json file named login_image_streamer.json on your working directory, and enter the authentication information for your appliance. See login_image_streamer.json for an example. :exclamation: NOTE: You must provide a token only if you haven't configured the credentials to authenticate with your HPE OneView Appliance.

  2. If you do not want to use the login file on the working directory, any json file containing the authentication information for the appliance can be used by setting the following environment variable:

    • IMAGE_STREAMER_AUTH_FILE - This environment variable should contain the full path to the json file containing the authentication information.

  3. Directly declare the authentication attributes mentioned previously as environment variables. The module will automatically use those values.

:exclamation: NOTE: All information stored on the login file or json files should be in clear text. To avoid security issues HPE recommends verifying the access permissions for those files.

Running Examples with Docker

If you'd rather run the examples in a Docker container, you can use the Dockerfile at the top level of this repo. All you need is Docker and git (optional).

  1. Clone this repo and cd into it:

    $ git clone https://github.com/HewlettPackard/oneview-puppet.git
$ cd oneview-puppet

    Note: You can navigate to the repo url and download the repo as a zip file if you don't want to use git

  2. You can build docker image locally or pull the docker image from Docker Hub.

    Build docker image locally

    • Build the docker image locally: $ docker build -t puppet-oneview .

    Using Docker Hub Image

    • Pull docker image from Docker Hub:

    The hewlettpackardenterprise/hpe-oneview-sdk-for-puppet:<tag> docker image contains an installation of oneview-puppet installation you can use by just pulling down the Docker Image:

    The Docker Store image tag consist of two sections: <sdk_version-OV_version>

    # Download and store a local copy of hpe-oneview-sdk-for-puppet and
# use it as a Docker image.
$ docker pull hewlettpackardenterprise/hpe-oneview-sdk-for-puppet:v2.6.0-OV5.2
# Run docker container with below commands.
$docker run -it --rm \
  -v $(pwd)/:/puppet
  -e ONEVIEW_URL='https://ov.example.com' \
  -e ONEVIEW_USER='Administrator' \
  -e ONEVIEW_PASSWORD='secret123' \
  -e ONEVIEW_SSL_ENABLED=true, \
  -e ONEVIEW_LOG_LEVEL='info' \
  -e ONEVIEW_API_VERSION=800 \
  hewlettpackardenterprise/hpe-oneview-sdk-for-puppet:v2.6.0-OV5.2 puppet apply fc_network.pp --debug --trace

    Now you can run any of the example manifests in this directory:

   # Run the container, passing in your credentials to OneView and specifying which example to run.
   # Replace "pwd" with the path of the manifest you'd like to run
   # Replace "fc_network" with the name of the manifest you'd like to run
   
   $ docker run -it --rm \
     -v $(pwd)/:/puppet
     -e ONEVIEW_URL='https://ov.example.com' \
     -e ONEVIEW_USER='Administrator' \
     -e ONEVIEW_PASSWORD='secret123' \
     -e ONEVIEW_SSL_ENABLED=true, \
     -e ONEVIEW_LOG_LEVEL='info' \
     -e ONEVIEW_API_VERSION=800 \
     puppet-oneview puppet apply fc_network.pp --debug --trace

To run an Image Streamer example manifests:

# Note that we need an additional (I3S_URL) environment variable set
# (Replace "plan_script" with the name of the recipe you'd like to run)
 $ docker run -it --rm \
  -v $(pwd)/:/puppet
  -e IMAGE_STREAMER_URL= 'https://imagestreamer.example.com' \
  -e IMAGE_STREAMER_API_VERSION=600 \
  -e IMAGE_STREAMER_LOG_LEVEL='info' \
  -e IMAGE_STREAMER_SSL_ENABLED=true \
  puppet-oneview puppet apply image_streamer/deployment_plan.pp --debug --trace

That's it! If you'd like to modify a manifest, simply modify the manifest file, then re-run the image.

Types and Providers

General

Most resources of the Puppet module for HPE OneView accept the following ensurable methods:

  • present - Creates/adds/updates resources on which those operations are permitted.
  • absent - Deletes/removes resources.
  • found - Searches for resources of a specific type on the appliance (with or without specific filters), and prints the information to the standard output.

The majority of the ensurable methods on the resources require a data parameter. Inside data a hash should be informed with all the information required for the operation to be performed.

All get_ ensurable methods send information that is retrieved to the standard output.

To provide easier deployment and management of infrastructure, all resources tags that either contain or require an Uri can receive either the "name" or a "name, resource type" combination of parameters instead of the uri as the field value, unless otherwise specified.

For a uri clearly related to a resource, such as in enclosureUri, the name can be given instead of the uri, For example:

enclosureUri => 'Puppet Example Enclosure'

instead of

enclosureUri => '/rest/enclosures/09SGH100X6J1'

and in the case of a general tag which does not specify its resource, such as mountUri, a "name, resource type" can be provided, For example:

mountUri => 'Puppet Example Enclosure, enclosure',

instead of

mountUri => '/rest/enclosures/09SGH100X6J1',

A sample snippet of a manifest:

oneview_ethernet_network{'Ethernet Network Create':
  ensure => 'present',
  data   => {
    name                  => 'Puppet network',
    vlanId                => '1045',
    purpose               => 'General',
    smartLink             => true,
    privateNetwork        => false,
    connectionTemplateUri => nil,
    type                  => 'ethernet-networkV3'
  }
}

oneview_fc_network{'fc1':
    ensure => 'present',
    data   => {
      name                    => 'OneViewSDK Test FC Network',
      connectionTemplateUri   => nil,
      autoLoginRedistribution => true,
      fabricType              => 'FabricAttach',
    }
}

oneview_volume{'volume_1':
    ensure => 'present',
    data   => {
      name                   => 'Oneview_Puppet_TEST_VOLUME_1',
      description            => 'Test volume with common creation: Storage System + Storage Pool',
      provisioningParameters => {
            provisionType     => 'Full',
            shareable         => true,
            requestedCapacity => 1024 * 1024 * 1024,
            storagePoolUri    => 'FST_CPG1',
      },
      snapshotPoolUri        => 'FST_CPG1'
    }
}

General examples of the usage for each resource and ensurable can be found in the examples directory.

For more details for each resource type that the Puppet module for HPE OneView adds and their unique ensurable methods, refer to Resources.

Reference
