New in version 2.6.0: of netapp.ontap

Synopsis

  • Create, delete, or manage aggregates on ONTAP.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • A physical or virtual clustered Data ONTAP system. The modules support Data ONTAP 9.1 and onward.

  • REST support requires ONTAP 9.6 or later.

  • Ansible 2.6

  • Ansible 2.9 or later is strongly recommended as it enables the new collection delivery system.

  • Python2 netapp-lib (2017.10.30) or later. Install using ‘pip install netapp-lib’

  • Python3 netapp-lib (2018.11.13) or later. Install using ‘pip install netapp-lib’

  • netapp-lib 2020.3.12 is strongly recommended as it provides better error reporting for connection issues.

  • To enable http on the cluster you must run the following commands ‘set -privilege advanced;’ ‘system services web modify -http-enabled true;’

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
cert_filepath
string
added in 20.6.0 of netapp.ontap
path to SSL client cert file (.pem).
not supported with python 2.6.
disk_count
integer
Number of disks to place into the aggregate, including parity disks.
The disks in this newly-created aggregate come from the spare disk pool.
The smallest disks in this pool join the aggregate first, unless the disk-size argument is provided.
Either disk-count or disks must be supplied. Range [0..2^31-1].
Required when state=present.
Modifiable only if specified disk_count is larger than current disk_count.
Cannot create raidgroup with 1 disk when using raid type raid4.
If the disk_count % raid_size == 1, only disk_count/raid_size * raid_size will be added.
If disk_count is 6, raid_type is raid4, raid_size 4, all 6 disks will be added.
If disk_count is 5, raid_type is raid4, raid_size 4, 5/4 * 4 = 4 will be added. 1 will not be added.
disk_size
integer
added in 2.7.0 of netapp.ontap
Disk size to use in 4K block size. Disks within 10% of specified size will be used.
disk_size_with_unit
string
Disk size to use in the specified unit.
It is a positive integer number followed by unit of T/G/M/K. For example, 72G, 1T and 32M.
This option is ignored if a specific list of disks is specified through the "disks" parameter.
You must only use one of either "disk-size" or "disk-size-with-unit" parameters.

Type of disk to use to build aggregate
disks
list / elements=string
added in 2.8.0 of netapp.ontap
Specific list of disks to use for the new aggregate.
To create a "mirrored" aggregate with a specific list of disks, both 'disks' and 'mirror_disks' options must be supplied. Additionally, the same number of disks must be supplied in both lists.
feature_flags
dictionary
added in 20.5.0 of netapp.ontap
Enable or disable a new feature.
This can be used to enable an experimental feature or disable a new feature that breaks backward compatibility.

string
added in 2.7.0 of netapp.ontap
Name of the aggregate to be renamed.
hostname
string / required
The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.
http_port
integer
Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port
https
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Enable and disable https.
Ignored when using REST as only https is supported.
Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL.
ignore_pool_checks
boolean
added in 20.8.0 of netapp.ontap
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
only valid when disks option is used.
disks in a plex should belong to the same spare pool, and mirror disks to another spare pool.
when set to true, these checks are ignored.
is_mirrored
boolean
added in 2.8.0 of netapp.ontap
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Specifies that the new aggregate be mirrored (have two plexes).
If set to true, then the indicated disks will be split across the two plexes. By default, the new aggregate will not be mirrored.
This option cannot be used when a specific list of disks is supplied with either the 'disks' or 'mirror_disks' options.
key_filepath
string
added in 20.6.0 of netapp.ontap
path to SSL client key file.
mirror_disks
list / elements=string
added in 2.8.0 of netapp.ontap
List of mirror disks to use. It must contain the same number of disks specified in 'disks'.
name
string / required
The name of the aggregate to manage.

Two authentication methods are supported
1. basic authentication, using username and password,
