Welcome to PyU4V's documentation!

Overview

PyU4V is a Python module that simplifies interaction with the Unisphere for PowerMax REST API. It wraps REST calls with simple APIs that abstract the HTTP request and response handling.

Note

You can get the Unisphere for PowerMax REST documentation by navigating to a URL in your local instance of Unisphere for PowerMax. Navigate to https://{ip}:{port}/univmax/restapi/docs where {ip} is the IP address of your Unisphere server and {port} is the port it is listening on. A zip file will be downloaded to your computer containing complete Unisphere REST endpoint documentation.

Supported PyU4V Versions

PyU4V Version 10.2.0.2
Minimum Unisphere Version 10.2.0
Array Model VMAX-3, VMAX AFA, PowerMax
Array uCode HyperMax OS, PowerMax OS
Platforms Linux, Windows
Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9
Requirements Requests, Six, urllib3, prettytable
Test Requirements TestTools, Tox

Note

If you want to continue to use Unisphere 8.4.x or 9.0.x with PyU4V you will need to remain on PyU4V 3.1.x. There is no support for PyU4V 10.2.0.2 with

any
version of Unisphere older than 10.2.0

Note

PyU4V officially supports Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 & 3.10 Python 2.x support has been dropped since January 1st 2020.

Note

PyU4V version 10.2 is compatible with scripts written for PyU4V

versions
>= 3.x, there is zero support or compatibility for PyU4V 2.x or earlier scripts in later versions of PyU4V. PyU4V 10.2.0.2 will default to using v102 endpoints exclusively. You will also

need to pay

special attention to any REST JSON payloads in custom scripts as payloads are subject to change between major Unisphere REST releases.

Build your own PyU4V Docs

PyU4V docs have been built using Sphinx and included with the source PyU4V package, however if you would like to build the docs from scratch use the following commands:

$ pip install sphinx
$ pip install sphinx-rtd-theme
$ cd PyU4V/docs
$ make clean && make html

All of the necessary make files and sphinx configuration files are included with PyU4V so you can build the docs after the required dependencies have been installed.

Once the above commands have been run you will find newly generated html files within the /PyU4V/docs/build folder. Open index.html within a browser of your choosing to view the docs offline. Generating the docs is not required, we have bundled the most up-to-date docs with PyU4V so you can still navigate to /PyU4V/docs/build/index.html within your browser to view PyU4V docs offline.
