Synopsis ¶

This module allows you to gather various information about ONTAP configuration using REST APIs

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.
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.
fields list / elements=string added in 20.6.0 of netapp.ontap		Request specific fields from subset. '*' to return all the fields, one or more subsets are allowed. '<list of fields>' to return specified fields, only one subset will be allowed. If the option is not present, return all the fields.

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.

ontapi integer		The ontap api version to use
parameters dictionary added in 20.7.0 of netapp.ontap		Allows for any rest option to be passed in
password string		Password for the specified user. aliases: pass
state string	Choices: info ←	Returns "info"
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.

Note

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