Synopsis ¶

This module allows you to gather various information about ONTAP configuration

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.
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’
REST support requires ONTAP 9.6 or later.
To enable http on the cluster you must run the following commands ‘set -privilege advanced;’ ‘system services web modify -http-enabled true;’
netapp-lib 2020.3.12 is strongly recommended as it provides better error reporting for connection issues.
netapp_lib

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.
continue_on_error list / elements=string		Default: "never"	By default, this module fails on the first error. This option allows to provide a list of errors that are not failing the module. Errors in the list are reported in the output, under the related info element, as an "error" entry. Possible values are always, never, missing_vserver_api_error, rpc_error, other_error. missing_vserver_api_error - most likely the API is available at cluster level but not vserver level. rpc_error - some queries are failing because the node cannot reach another node in the cluster. key_error - a query is failing because the returned data does not contain an expected key. for key errors, make sure to report this in Slack. It may be a change in a new ONTAP version. other_error - anything not in the above list. always will continue on any error, never will fail on any error, they cannot be used with any other keyword.
desired_attributes dictionary added in 20.6.0 of netapp.ontap			Advanced feature requiring to understand ZAPI internals. Allows to request a specific attribute that is not returned by default, or to limit the returned attributes. A dictionary for the zapi desired-attributes element. An XML tag <tag>value</tag> is a dictionary with tag as the key. Value can be another dictionary, a list of dictionaries, a string, or nothing. eg <tag/> is represented as tag: Only a single subset can be called at a time if this option is set. It is the caller responsibity to make sure key attributes are present in the right position. The module will error out if any key attribute is missing.
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. Supported keys and values are subject to change without notice. Unknown keys are ignored.
gather_subset list / elements=string		Default: "all"	When supplied, this argument will restrict the information collected to a given subset. Possible values for this argument include "aggregate_info", "aggr_efficiency_info", "cifs_options_info", "cifs_server_info", "cifs_share_info", "cifs_vserver_security_info", "cluster_identity_info", "cluster_image_info", "cluster_log_forwarding_info", "cluster_node_info", "cluster_peer_info", "cluster_switch_info", "clock_info", "disk_info", "env_sensors_info", "event_notification_destination_info", "event_notification_info", "export_policy_info", "export_rule_info", "fcp_adapter_info", "fcp_alias_info", "fcp_service_info", "igroup_info", "iscsi_service_info", "job_schedule_cron_info", "kerberos_realm_info", "ldap_client", "ldap_config", "license_info", "lun_info", "lun_map_info", "metrocluster_check_info", "metrocluster_info", "metrocluster_node_info", "net_dev_discovery_info", "net_dns_info", "net_failover_group_info", "net_firewall_info", "net_ifgrp_info", "net_interface_info", "net_interface_service_policy_info", "net_ipspaces_info", "net_port_info", "net_port_broadcast_domain_info", "net_routes_info", "net_vlan_info", "nfs_info", "ntfs_dacl_info", "ntfs_sd_info", "ntp_server_info", "nvme_info", "nvme_interface_info", "nvme_namespace_info", "nvme_subsystem_info", "ontap_system_version", "ontap_version", "ontapi_version", "qos_adaptive_policy_info", "qos_policy_info", "qtree_info", "quota_report_info", "role_info", "security_key_manager_key_info", "security_login_account_info", "security_login_role_config_info", "security_login_role_info", "service_processor_info", "service_processor_network_info", "shelf_info" "sis_info", "sis_policy_info", "snapmirror_info", "snapmirror_destination_info", "snapmirror_policy_info", "snapshot_info", "snapshot_policy_info", "storage_failover_info", "storage_bridge_info", "subsys_health_info", "sysconfig_info", "sys_cluster_alerts", "volume_info", "volume_space_info", "vscan_info", "vscan_status_info", "vscan_scanner_pool_info", "vscan_connection_status_all_info", "vscan_connection_extended_stats_info", "vserver_info", "vserver_login_banner_info", "vserver_motd_info", "vserver_nfs_info", "vserver_peer_info", Can specify a list of values to include a larger subset. Values can also be used with an initial `!` to specify that a specific subset should not be collected. nvme is supported with ONTAP 9.4 onwards. use "help" to get a list of supported information for your system.
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.
key_filepath string added in 20.6.0 of netapp.ontap			path to SSL client key file.
max_records integer added in 20.2.0 of netapp.ontap		Default: 1024	Maximum number of records returned in a single ZAPI call. Valid range is [1..2^32-1]. This parameter controls internal behavior of this module.
ontapi integer			The ontap api version to use
password string			Password for the specified user. aliases: pass
query dictionary added in 20.7.0 of netapp.ontap			Advanced feature requiring to understand ZAPI internals. Allows to specify which objects to return. A dictionary for the zapi query element. An XML tag <tag>value</tag> is a dictionary with tag as the key. Value can be another dictionary, a list of dictionaries, a string, or nothing. eg <tag/> is represented as tag: Only a single subset can be called at a time if this option is set.
state string		Choices: info ←	Returns "info"
summary boolean added in 20.4.0 of netapp.ontap		Choices: no ← yes	Boolean flag to control return all attributes of the module info or only the names. If true, only names are returned.
use_native_zapi_tags boolean added in 20.6.0 of netapp.ontap		Choices: no ← yes	By default, - in the returned dictionary keys are translated to _. If set to true, the translation is disabled.
use_rest string		Default: "auto"	REST API if supported by the target system for all the resources and attributes the module requires. Otherwise will revert to ZAPI. always -- will always use the REST API never -- will always use the ZAPI auto -- will try to use the REST Api
username string			This can be a Cluster-scoped or SVM-scoped account, depending on whether a Cluster-level or SVM-level API is required. For more information, please read the documentation https://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/nmsdk/9.4/. Two authentication methods are supported 1. basic authentication, using username and password, 2. SSL certificate authentication, using a ssl client cert file, and optionally a private key file. To use a certificate, the certificate must have been installed in the ONTAP cluster, and cert authentication must have been enabled. aliases: user
validate_certs boolean		Choices: no yes ←	If set to `no`, the SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `False` used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
volume_move_target_aggr_info dictionary added in 20.5.0 of netapp.ontap			Required options for volume_move_target_aggr_info
	volume_name string / required added in 20.5.0 of netapp.ontap		Volume name to get target aggr info for
	vserver string / required added in 20.5.0 of netapp.ontap		vserver the Volume lives on
vserver string added in 19.11.0 of netapp.ontap			If present, 'vserver tunneling' will limit the output to the vserver scope. Note that not all subsets are supported on a vserver, and 'all' will trigger an error.

Note

The modules prefixed with na\_ontap are built to support the ONTAP storage platform.
