client – HPE3ParClient

HPE 3PAR REST Client.

Author:Walter A. Boring IV
Description:This is the 3PAR Client that talks to 3PAR’s REST WSAPI Service.

It provides the ability to provision 3PAR volumes, VLUNs, CPGs. This version also supports running actions on the 3PAR that use SSH.

This client requires and works with 3PAR InForm 3.1.3 MU1 firmware

createQoSRules(targetName, qosRules, target_type=1)[source]

Create QOS rules

The QoS rule can be applied to VV sets. By using sys:all_others, you can apply the rule to all volumes in the system for which no QoS rule has been defined.

ioMinGoal and ioMaxLimit must be used together to set I/O limits. Similarly, bwMinGoalKB and bwMaxLimitKB must be used together.

If ioMaxLimitOP is set to 2 (no limit), ioMinGoalOP must also be to set to 2 (zero), and vice versa. They cannot be set to ‘none’ individually. Similarly, if bwMaxLimitOP is set to 2 (no limit), then bwMinGoalOP must also be set to 2.

If ioMaxLimitOP is set to 1 (no limit), ioMinGoalOP must also be to set to 1 (zero) and vice versa. Similarly, if bwMaxLimitOP is set to 1 (zero), then bwMinGoalOP must also be set to 1.

The ioMinGoalOP and ioMaxLimitOP fields take precedence over the ioMinGoal and ioMaxLimit fields.
