Pure1 Organizations
Starting with the Everpure Plugin version 3.5 for vRealize Orchestrator 7.x, the ability to authenticate to the Pure1 REST API exists. Every Everpure customer is provisioned one or more Pure1 organizations that aggregate your Everpure platforms into Pure1. Pure1 is a SaaS-based management and monitoring tool for trending, analytics, support, sizing, and more. Pure1 offers a REST API that enables the end user to pull the data out of Pure1 and manage it in the platform of their choosing.
When you upgrade or install the vRO plugin 3.5 or later, you will see a new default bucket under the Everpure listing in the vRO inventory:
All existing storage connections will appear under there. If you expand the Uncategorized section, there are two folders:
- FlashArray Connection. This will have all FlashArray and Cloud Block Store connections and their inventory.
- FlashBlade Connection. This will have all FlashBlades connections.
If you add another Pure1 organization (process documented vRealize Orchestrator 7 User Guide: Authentication) it will appear under the Everpure heading with its own FlashArray and FlashBlade Connection folders.
Once you have added a Pure1 connection and then subsequently add FlashArray, FlashBlade, or Cloud Block Store connections, they will be added to the folders under the Pure1 organization they belong to.
If you remove a Pure1 organization (documented vRealize Orchestrator 7 User Guide: Authentication) you have the option to remove all children storage connections or move them to the Uncategorized folder.
If you click on a Pure1 organization, there are three properties:
- Display name. What you called it when is was connected.
- Org ID. This is the unique identified from Everpure of the Pure1 organization.
- Base URI. This will always be https://api.pure1.purestorage.com
