    type: io.kestra.plugin.ee.dellemc.powerstore.snapshots.Create

    username: "{{ secret('POWERSTORE_USERNAME') }}"

Properties

host *string

PowerStore management address

Hostname or IP address of the PowerStore appliance management interface, optionally including a port if non-default (for example: powerstore.example.com or 192.168.1.20: 8443). The REST API is reached at https://{host}/api/rest.

password *string

PowerStore password

Password for username. Store this value as a Kestra secret and reference it via {{ secret('POWERSTORE_PASSWORD') }}.

username *string

PowerStore username

Username of a PowerStore local or LDAP account used to authenticate via HTTP Basic Auth.

volumeId *string

Volume ID

ID of the PowerStore volume on which to create the snapshot.

name string

Snapshot name

Name of the new snapshot. Optional: PowerStore generates a timestamp-based name automatically when omitted.

pluginDefaultsRef string

Reference (ref) of the pluginDefaults to apply to this task.

skipTlsVerification booleanstring

Defaultfalse

Skip TLS certificate verification

When true, accepts the PowerStore appliance's TLS certificate without validation. Defaults to false. PowerStore management interfaces are commonly deployed with a self-signed certificate; set this to true to connect to those without importing the certificate into a trust store. Intended for lab/non-production use — leave false in production and use a properly signed certificate instead.

Outputs

id string

Snapshot ID

ID assigned by PowerStore to the newly created snapshot.

name string

Snapshot name

Name of the snapshot, if one was requested.
