Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
app_category
string
Specifies the application category of the associated volume.
block_size
integer
Block Size in bytes to be used by the volumes created with this specific performance policy. Supported block sizes are 4096 bytes (4 KB), 8192 bytes (8 KB), 16384 bytes(16 KB), and 32768 bytes (32 KB). Block size of a performance policy cannot be changed once the performance policy is created.
cache
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Flag denoting if data in the associated volume should be cached.
cache_policy
string
    Choices:
  • disabled
  • normal
  • aggressive
  • no_write
  • aggressive_read_no_write
Specifies how data of associated volume should be cached. Normal policy caches data but skips in certain conditions such as sequential I/O. Aggressive policy will accelerate caching of all data belonging to this volume, regardless of sequentiality.
change_name
string
Change name of the existing performance policy.
compress
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Flag denoting if data in the associated volume should be compressed.

host
string / required
HPE Nimble Storage IP address.
name
string / required
Name of the performance policy.
password
string / required
HPE Nimble Storage password.
space_policy
string
    Choices:
  • invalid
  • offline
  • non_writable
  • read_only
  • login_only
Specifies the state of the volume upon space constraint violation such as volume limit violation or volumes above their volume reserve, if the pool free space is exhausted. Supports two policies, 'offline' and 'non_writable'.
state
string / required
    Choices:
  • present
  • absent
  • create
The performance policy operation.
username
