Synopsis ¶

Call a REST API on ONTAP.
Cluster REST API are run using a cluster admin account.
Vserver REST API can be run using a vsadmin account or using vserver tunneling (cluster admin with vserver_ options).
In case of success, a json dictionary is returned as response.
In case of a REST API error, status_code, error_code, error_message are set to help with diagnosing the issue,
and the call is reported as an error (‘failed’).
Other errors (eg connection issues) are reported as Ansible error.

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
api string / required		The REST API to call (eg cluster/software, svms/svm).
body dictionary		A dictionary for the info parameter aliases: info
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.
hal_linking boolean	Choices: no ← yes	if true, HAL-encoded links are returned in the response.
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.
method string	Default: "GET"	The REST method to use.
ontapi integer		The ontap api version to use
password string		Password for the specified user. aliases: pass
query dictionary		A list of dictionaries for the query parameters
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.
vserver_name string		if provided, forces vserver tunneling. username identifies a cluster admin account.
vserver_uuid string		if provided, forces vserver tunneling. username identifies a cluster admin account.

Notes ¶

Note

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