Parameters
| Parameter | Comments | 
|---|---|
| The password to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API. | |
| The url to the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API. Example https://prod-1.wahoo.acme.com/devmgr/v2 | |
| The username to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API. | |
| Allow ports that are already assigned to be re-assigned to your current host Choices: 
 | |
| The unique identifier of the host-group you want the host to be a member of; this is used for clustering. | |
| This is the type of host to be mapped Required when  Either one of the following names can be specified, Linux DM-MP, VMWare, Windows, Windows Clustered, or a host type index which can be found in netapp_eseries.santricity.netapp_e_facts | |
| A local path to a file to be used for debug logging | |
| If the host doesn’t yet exist, the label/name to assign at creation time. If the hosts already exists, this will be used to uniquely identify the host to make any required changes | |
| A list of host ports you wish to associate with the host. Host ports are uniquely identified by their WWN or IQN. Their assignments to a particular host are uniquely identified by a label and these must be unique. | |
| A unique label to assign to this port assignment. | |
| The WWN or IQN of the hostPort to assign to this port definition. | |
| The interface type of the port to define. Acceptable choices depend on the capabilities of the target hardware/software platform. Choices: 
 | |
| The ID of the array to manage. This value must be unique for each array. Default:  | |
| Set to absent to remove an existing host Set to present to modify or create a new host definition Choices:

Notes
Note
- The E-Series Ansible modules require either an instance of the Web Services Proxy (WSP), to be available to manage the storage-system, or an E-Series storage-system that supports the Embedded Web Services API. 
- Embedded Web Services is currently available on the E2800, E5700, EF570, and newer hardware models. 
- netapp_eseries.santricity.netapp_e_storage_system may be utilized for configuring the systems managed by a WSP instance. 
Examples
- name: Define or update an existing host named 'Host1'
  netapp_e_host:
    ssid: "1"
    api_url: "10.113.1.101:8443"
    api_username: admin
    api_password: myPassword
    name: "Host1"
    state: present
    host_type_index: Linux DM-MP
    ports:
      - type: 'iscsi'
        label: 'PORT_1'
        port: 'iqn.1996-04.de.suse:01:56f86f9bd1fe'
      - type: 'fc'
        label: 'FC_1'
        port: '10:00:FF:7C:FF:FF:FF:01'
      - type: 'fc'
        label: 'FC_2'
        port: '10:00:FF:7C:FF:FF:FF:00'
- name: Ensure a host named 'Host2' doesn't exist
  netapp_e_host:
    ssid: "1"
    api_url: "10.113.1.101:8443"
    api_username: admin
    api_password: myPassword
    name: "Host2"
    state: absent
