# salt.states.zpool

States for managing zpools

maintainer:

  Jorge Schrauwen <sjorge@blackdot.be>

maturity:

  new

depends:

  salt.utils.zfs, salt.modules.zpool

platform:

  smartos, illumos, solaris, freebsd, linux

New in version 2016.3.0.

Changed in version 2018.3.1: Big refactor to remove duplicate code, better type conversions and improved consistency in output.

    oldpool:
      zpool.absent:
        - export: true

    newpool:
      zpool.present:
        - config:
            import: false
            force: true
        - properties:

        - layout:
            - mirror:
              - /dev/disk0
              - /dev/disk1
            - mirror:
              - /dev/disk2
              - /dev/disk3

    partitionpool:

            import: false
            force: true
        - properties:

            relatime: on
        - layout:
            - /dev/disk/by-uuid/3e43ce94-77af-4f52-a91b-6cdbb0b0f41b

    simplepool:
      zpool.present:
        - config:
            import: false
            force: true
        - properties:
            comment: another salty storage pool
        - layout:
            - /dev/disk0
            - /dev/disk1

Warning

The layout will never be updated, it will only be used at time of creation. It's a whole lot of work to figure out if a devices needs to be detached, removed, etc. This is best done by the sysadmin on a case per case basis.

Filesystem properties are also not updated, this should be managed by the zfs state module.

salt.states.zpool.absent(name, export=False, force=False)

  ensure storage pool is absent on the system

  namestring

    name of storage pool

  exportboolean

    export instead of destroy the zpool if present

  forceboolean

    force destroy or export

salt.states.zpool.present(name, properties=None, filesystem_properties=None, layout=None, config=None)

  ensure storage pool is present on the system

  namestring

    name of storage pool

  propertiesdict

    optional set of properties to set for the storage pool

  filesystem_propertiesdict

    optional set of filesystem properties to set for the storage pool (creation only)

  layout: dict

    disk layout to use if the pool does not exist (creation only)

  configdict

    fine grain control over this state

  Note

  The following configuration properties can be toggled in the config parameter.

    - import (true) - try to import the pool before creating it if absent

    - import_dirs (None) - specify additional locations to scan for devices on import (comma-separated)

    - device_dir (None, SunOS=/dev/dsk, Linux=/dev) - specify device directory to prepend for none absolute device paths

    - force (false) - try to force the import or creation

  Note

  It is no longer needed to give a unique name to each top-level vdev, the old layout format is still supported but no longer recommended.

      - mirror:
        - /tmp/vdisk3
        - /tmp/vdisk2
      - mirror:
        - /tmp/vdisk0
        - /tmp/vdisk1

  The above yaml will always result in the following zpool create:

      zpool create mypool mirror /tmp/vdisk3 /tmp/vdisk2 mirror /tmp/vdisk0 /tmp/vdisk1

  Warning

  The legacy format is also still supported but not recommended, because ID's inside the layout dict must be unique they need to have a suffix.

      mirror-0:
        /tmp/vdisk3
        /tmp/vdisk2
      mirror-1:
        /tmp/vdisk0
        /tmp/vdisk1

  Warning

  Pay attention to the order of your dict!

      - mirror:
        - /tmp/vdisk0
        - /tmp/vdisk1
      - /tmp/vdisk2

  The above will result in the following zpool create:

      zpool create mypool mirror /tmp/vdisk0 /tmp/vdisk1 /tmp/vdisk2

  Creating a 3-way mirror! While you probably expect it to be mirror root vdev with 2 devices + a root vdev of 1 device!
