ssid string	Default: 1	The ID of the array to manage. This value must be unique for each array.
state string	Choices: present ← absent	Add or remove the syslog server configuration for E-Series storage array. Existing syslog server configuration will be removed or updated when its address matches address. Fully qualified hostname that resolve to an IPv4 address that matches address will not be treated as a match.

Notes

Note

• Check mode is supported.

• This API is currently only supported with the Embedded Web Services API v2.12 (bundled with SANtricity OS 11.40.2) and higher.

• The E-Series Ansible modules require either an instance of the Web Services Proxy (WSP), to be available to manage the storage-system, or an E-Series storage-system that supports the Embedded Web Services API.

• Embedded Web Services is currently available on the E2800, E5700, EF570, and newer hardware models.

• netapp_eseries.santricity.netapp_e_storage_system may be utilized for configuring the systems managed by a WSP instance.
