Starting Out

Connecting to a Cluster

First, set the following environment variables, specifying the host and port of the cluster you wish to connect, and the appropriate credentials to log in to that cluster

export QUMULO_HOST={host}
export QUMULO_PORT={port}
export QUMULO_USERNAME={username}
export QUMULO_PASSWORD={password}

Creating a Terraform Config File

Create a folder in which you want to initialize your Terraform workspace. Then, create a main.tf file within that folder, with the following header:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    qumulo = {
      source = "Qumulo/qumulo"
      version = "0.1.1"
    }
  }
}

Run terraform init to initialize the workspace.

If you'd like to import some or all of the current state of your cluster, you can either use import_cluster.py (run python3 import_cluster.py -h to view usage), or import resources manually as shown here

Then, add resources that you want to manage with Terraform. Examples of resources can be found here

Now, run terraform apply to create those resources with the REST API. You're good to go!

To Run Acceptance Tests

Make sure the environment variables as mentioned above are set.

Make sure the TF_ACC environment variable is set to enable acceptance testing

export TF_ACC=1

Then, run the following command

make test

The above command runs all the acceptance tests in the provider. To run a specific test, set the TESTNAME environment variable to the corresponding test name:

export TESTNAME={testname}

Then, run the following command

make runtest

Developing the Qumulo Provider

For contributing to the Qumulo terraform provider, refer to the development docs. It provides a brief overview for getting started on adding new Qumulo resources to be managed via Terraform and adding tests for the same.
