Powerscale Provider
I want to use the Pulumi powerscale package (powerscale) in my project.
## Provider details
- Package: powerscale
- Version: 1.8.1
- Publisher: dell
- Source: opentofu
- Repository: https://github.com/dell/terraform-provider-powerscale
## Documentation
The Pulumi Cloud Registry API serves canonical, up-to-date docs for this package — including private packages and every published version. Send the "Accept: text/markdown" header for clean readable content, or "application/json" for structured data.
Start at the navigation tree, which cross-links to the readme, installation guide, and per-resource docs URL template:
- https://api.pulumi.com/api/registry/packages/opentofu/dell/powerscale/versions/latest/nav
Returns a summary by default. The full tree can be hundreds of kB for large providers, so prefer targeted search: append "?q=<query>&depth=full" to filter by resource/function title or token (for example "?q=bucket&depth=full"). Only request the full nav without a query if you actually need to enumerate every resource.
Other endpoints:
- Overview and getting started: https://api.pulumi.com/api/registry/packages/opentofu/dell/powerscale/versions/latest/readme
- Installation and configuration: https://api.pulumi.com/api/registry/packages/opentofu/dell/powerscale/versions/latest/installation
- Per-resource/function docs: https://api.pulumi.com/api/registry/packages/opentofu/dell/powerscale/versions/latest/docs/{token}?lang={lang}
Replace {token} with the percent-encoded token from the nav response (for example aws:s3/bucket:Bucket).
Replace {lang} with typescript, python, go, csharp, java, or yaml.
Fetch the installation endpoint above for the correct setup steps — install instructions vary between native providers, bridged Terraform providers, and component packages.
Help me get started using this provider. Show me a complete Pulumi program that provisions a common resource, including all necessary configuration and imports.

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.

This can also be set using the environment variable POWERSCALE_ENDPOINTinsecure(Boolean) whether to skip SSL validation. This can also be set using the environment variable POWERSCALE_INSECUREpassword(String, Sensitive) The password.

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).
