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. | |
| List of host names/labels to add to the group | |
| Host reference identifier for the host group to manage. This option is mutually exclusive with name. | |
| Name of the host group to manage This option is mutually exclusive with id. | |
| Specify this when you need to update the name of a host group | |

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: Configure Hostgroup

Return Values
Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
| Key | Description | 
|---|---|
| The unique identification value for this object. Other objects may use this reference value to refer to the cluster. Returned: always except when state is absent Sample:  | |
| If true, indicates that creation of LUN-to-volume mappings should require careful confirmation from the end-user, since such a mapping will alter the volume access rights of other clusters, in addition to this one. Returned: always Sample:  | |
| A list of the hosts that are part of the host group after all operations. Returned: always except when state is absent Sample:  | |
| The id number of the hostgroup Returned: always except when state is absent Sample:  | |
| If true, indicates that I/O accesses from this cluster are subject to the storage array’s default LUN-to-volume mappings. If false, indicates that I/O accesses from the cluster are subject to cluster-specific LUN-to-volume mappings. Returned: always except when state is absent Sample:  | |
| The user-assigned, descriptive label string for the cluster. Returned: always Sample:  | |
| same as label Returned: always except when state is absent Sample:  | |
| This field is true if the host has a PI capable access method. Returned: always except when state is absent Sample:  |
