Example using Terraform

Prerequisites

Terraform version >= v1.7.0 and 64-bit install terraform.
A Greenlake API client to authenticate against UXI configuration API.

See here for more information on generating client credentials.

1. Open the previously generated file using nano uxi.tf and add client id and client secretof UXI from the GreenLake account.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    hpeuxi = {
      source = "HewlettPackard/hpeuxi"
      version = "0.1.0-alpha.1"
    }
  }
}

provider "hpeuxi" {
  client_id     = "your_greenlake_uxi_client_id"
  client_secret = "your_greenlake_uxi_client_secret"
}

2. Run first Terraform Execution Plan.

The best way to get started using Terraform is to run execution plans. All Terraform plans are written in HCL (Hashicorp Configuration Language). HCL is very similar to the JSON format.

Example: Create Parent Group and Child group in the hierarchy using Terraform

Open the file using the nano uxi.tfand copy the following code from here

terraform {
  required_providers {
    hpeuxi = {
      source = "HewlettPackard/hpeuxi"
      version = "0.1.0-alpha.1"
    }
  }
}

provider "hpeuxi" {
  client_id     = "your_greenlake_uxi_client_id"
  client_secret = "your_greenlake_uxi_client_secret"
}
# Create level 1 group attached to the root node
resource "hpeuxi_group" "level_1" {
  name = "Parent Group"
}

# Create level 2 group attached to level 1 group
resource "hpeuxi_group" "level_2" {
  name            = "Child Group"
  parent_group_id = hpeuxi_group.level_1.id
}

3. Run the plan using the following commands

terraform init

terraform plan
