Powerscale Provider
Generate Provider
The Powerscale provider must be installed as a Local Package by following the instructions for Any Terraform Provider:
pulumi package add terraform-provider dell/powerscale
Overview
The Pulumi provider for Dell PowerScale can be used to interact with a Dell PowerScale array in order to manage the array resources.
Example Usage
The following abridged example demonstrates the usage of the provider to create groupnet, subnet, network pool, ads provider, access zone, quota, snapshot, snapshot schedule, user, user group, filesystem ,nfs export and smb share.

Best Practices
- The parent resource attributes of a certain resource (e.g. groupnet field of subnet resource) can only be designated at creation. Once designated, they cannot be modified except for parent resource renaming.
- The name of a resource is modifiable, but it is necessary to make sure its name referenced in the child resources is also updated (can be done manually or use reference resource_id.name).
- Resources with child resources cannot be deleted independently. Use pulumi destroy to delete all resources directly or delete all the child resources at the same time (depends_on is recommended to manage resources, serving as a precheck for delete operations).
