Everpure FlashArray and FlashBlade JSON file

Portworx CSI uses a single secret for both FlashArray and FlashBlade configurations. If you plan to use both together, specify all your FlashBlade and FlashArray entries in a single JSON file.

note

For FlashArray, the Realm field in the above pure.json file is required only for Secure Multitenancy.

FlashArray object reference

Key	Value	Required?
MgmtEndPoint	Management endpoint of the FlashArray you want to use as backend storage for Kubernetes applications. Data type: string Format: Either an IP address or a fully qualified domain name (without a protocol).	Yes
APIToken	API token for the user account you want to use to perform storage operations on the FlashArray. Data type: string Format: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX	Yes
Realm	Realms define the boundaries of a tenant. When multiple FlashArrays are attached to a cluster, the admin can specify the realm, and FlashArray volumes will be placed inside this realm.	Yes (only for secure multi-tenancy feature)
Labels	When you enable CSI topology, you need to specify Labels that describe the topology for each FlashArray. The keys must match a set of specific strings, but you can define your own values. The following CSI topology Labels keys are available: topology.portworx.io/region topology.portworx.io/zone topology.portworx.io/datacenter topology.portworx.io/provider topology.portworx.io/row topology.portworx.io/rack topology.portworx.io/chassis topology.portworx.io/hypervisor Note: If you are a PSO user, you can use topology.purestorage.com labels when you migrate from PSO to Portworx using the pso2px tool.	Yes (only for CSI topology feature)

FlashBlade object reference

Key	Value	Required?
MgmtEndPoint	Management endpoint of the FlashBlade you want to use as backend storage for Kubernetes applications. Data type: string Format: Either an IP address or a fully qualified domain name (without a protocol).	Yes
APIToken	API token for the user account you want to use to perform storage operations on the FlashBlade. Data type: string Format: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX	Yes
NFSEndPoint	NFS endpoint of the FlashBlade. Data type: string Format: Either an IP address or a fully qualified domain name (without a protocol).	Yes
Labels	When you enable CSI topology, you need to specify Labels that describe the topology for each FlashBlade. The keys must match a set of specific strings, but you can define your own values. The following CSI topology Labels keys are available: topology.portworx.io/region topology.portworx.io/zone topology.portworx.io/datacenter topology.portworx.io/provider topology.portworx.io/row topology.portworx.io/rack topology.portworx.io/chassis topology.portworx.io/hypervisor Note: f you are a PSO user, you can use topology.purestorage.com labels when you migrate from PSO to Portworx using the pso2px tool.
