ibm.spectrum_virtualize.ibm_svc_hostcluster module – This module manages host cluster on IBM Spectrum Virtualize family storage systems

Note

This module is part of the ibm.spectrum_virtualize collection (version 2.0.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install ibm.spectrum_virtualize.

To use it in a playbook, specify: ibm.spectrum_virtualize.ibm_svc_hostcluster.

Note

The ibm.spectrum_virtualize collection has been renamed to ibm.storage_virtualize and will be removed from Ansible 12. If you use content from ibm.spectrum_virtualize, please update FQCNs in your playbooks and roles! When creating new playbooks or roles, directly use content from ibm.storage_virtualize instead.

New in ibm.spectrum_virtualize 1.5.0
