Synopsis

  • Create, modify or delete SVM on NetApp 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
aggr_list

list / elements=string
Allowed Protocols.
When specified as part of a vserver-create, this field represent the list of protocols allowed on the Vserver.
When part of vserver-get-iter call, this will return the list of Vservers which have any of the protocols specified as part of the allowed-protocols.
When part of vserver-modify, this field should include the existing list along with new protocol list to be added to prevent data disruptions.
Possible values

cifs CIFS protocol,
fcp FCP protocol,
iscsi iSCSI protocol,
ndmp NDMP protocol,
http HTTP protocol,
nvme NVMe protocol

https
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←

aliases: pass
root_volume
string
Root volume of the SVM.
Cannot be modified after creation.
root_volume_aggregate
string
The aggregate on which the root volume will be created.
Cannot be modified after creation.
root_volume_security_style
string
    Choices:
  • unix
  • ntfs
  • mixed
  • unified
Security Style of the root volume.
When specified as part of the vserver-create, this field represents the security style for the Vserver root volume.
When specified as part of vserver-get-iter call, this will return the list of matching Vservers.

Cannot be modified after creation.
snapshot_policy
string
added in 2.7.0 of netapp.ontap
Default snapshot policy setting for all volumes of the Vserver. This policy will be assigned to all volumes created in this Vserver unless the volume create request explicitly provides a snapshot policy or volume is modified later with a specific snapshot policy.

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.

  • 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.
