For a Pure Storage FlashArray to fully utilize its predictive support capabilities, it must maintain a persistent, secure outbound connection to the Pure1 cloud infrastructure. This allows the array's Callhome Connection Manager (CCM) to transmit telemetry data, hardware alerts, and heartbeat signals. However, in many enterprise environments, storage management networks do not have direct, unfiltered access to the public internet. Instead, all outbound HTTP/HTTPS traffic must be routed through a corporate proxy server.

To facilitate this, the Implementation Engineer must configure the FlashArray to tunnel its Call Home traffic through the customer's proxy. The officially supported Purity CLI command to achieve this is purearray setattr --proxy https:// < proxy_address > : < port > .

By executing this command, the system modifies its global network attributes. Purity immediately updates the internal routing daemon, instructing it to encapsulate all outgoing Pure1 management traffic and direct it to the specified proxy IP or hostname on the designated port (e.g., port 8080 or 3128). Options B, C, and D are fabricated commands that do not exist within the Purity CLI framework. Once the proxy is set, the engineer should always validate the configuration by running purearray test phonehome to ensure the proxy is properly allowing the traffic to pass through to the Pure Storage cloud endpoints.
