Resize a Dell EMC PowerStore volume

Changes the size of an existing PowerStore volume via PATCH /api/rest/volume/{id}. PowerStore rejects shrinking a volume below its currently used capacity; an actionable error is surfaced in that case. PowerStore may accept the request asynchronously (HTTP 202 with a job reference); see wait and waitTimeout.

yaml
type: io.kestra.plugin.ee.dellemc.powerstore.volumes.Resize

Examples

Resize a PowerStore volume to 20 GiB.

yaml
id: powerstore_resize_volume
namespace: company.team

tasks:
  - id: resize_volume
    type: io.kestra.plugin.ee.dellemc.powerstore.volumes.Resize
    host: "{{ secret('POWERSTORE_HOST') }}"
    username: "{{ secret('POWERSTORE_USERNAME') }}"
    password: "{{ secret('POWERSTORE_PASSWORD') }}"
    volumeId: "{{ inputs.volume_id }}"
    sizeBytes: 21474836480

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') }}.

sizeBytes *integerstring

New size in bytes

Target size in bytes. PowerStore rejects shrinking the volume below the currently used capacity. For example: 21474836480 for 20 GiB.

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 to resize.

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.

wait booleanstring

Defaulttrue

Wait for completion

When the PowerStore array accepts the request asynchronously (HTTP 202 with a job reference), whether to poll the job until it completes before returning. Defaults to true so downstream tasks receive a usable result. When false, the task returns immediately with the job ID once accepted, without waiting for it to finish. Polling blocks the worker thread running this task for as long as the wait lasts (up to waitTimeout); size the worker pool accordingly if many job-aware tasks run concurrently, or set this to false and poll separately.

waitTimeout string

DefaultPT10M

Job wait timeout

Maximum time to wait for an asynchronously accepted job to complete when wait is true. Defaults to PT10M. Capped at PT30M: values above that are clamped down to PT30M (with a warning logged) to avoid tying up a worker thread indefinitely. If the timeout elapses before the job completes, the task returns successfully without confirmed completion — the job ID is still available in the output so its status can be checked later. Killing the execution while this task is waiting stops it from polling immediately, but PowerStore's job REST resource has no cancel/abort endpoint: the array-side operation itself (resize, failover, synchronize, restore) keeps running to completion on the appliance regardless.

Outputs

jobId string

Job ID

ID of the asynchronous PowerStore job, populated only when the resize is still in progress (see wait).
