HPE 3par plugin for Proxmox

This a plugin for Proxmox distribution that supports using plain 3par VLUNs as disks

Create ssh key

For all storage platforms the distribution of root's ssh key is maintained through Proxmox's cluster wide file system which means you have to create this folder: /etc/pve/priv/3par. In this folder you place the ssh key to use for each HPE 3par storage and the name of the key follows this naming scheme: address_id_rsa. Creating the key is simple. As root do the following:

mkdir /etc/pve/priv/3par
ssh-keygen -f /etc/pve/priv/3par/192.168.1.1_id_rsa

Create user proxmox on the storage with edit role.

$ ssh 3paradm@192.168.1.1
  3paradm's password: ******
cli% createuser -c testpw proxmox all edit 
cli% exit

$ ssh proxmox@192.168.1.1
cli% showuser
     Username Domain    Role   Default
     proxmox     all    edit   N

Add a public key to the storage.

cat /etc/pve/priv/3par/192.168.1.1_id_rsa.pub
ssh proxmox@192.168.1.1
  proxmox@192.168.1.1 password: ******
cli% setsshkey
 sshrsa AF5afPdciUTJ0PYzB6msRxFrCuDSqDwPshqWS5tGCFSoSZdE= proxmox pubic key
 SSH public key successfully set!

Test HPE 3par connection:

ssh -i /etc/pve/priv/3par/192.168.1.1_id_rsa proxmox@192.168.1.1
The authenticity of host '192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 8c:f9:46:5e:40:65:b4:91:be:41:a0:25:ef:7f:80:5f.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
