hypervisor string		Required when creating a zone scoped pool. Possible values are KVM, VMware, BareMetal, XenServer, LXC, HyperV, UCS, OVM, Simulator.
managed boolean	Choices: no yes	Whether the storage pool should be managed by CloudStack. Only considered on creation.
name string / required		Name of the storage pool.
pod string		Name of the pod.
provider string	Default: "DefaultPrimary"	Name of the storage provider e.g. SolidFire, SolidFireShared, DefaultPrimary, CloudByte.
scope string	Choices: cluster zone	The scope of the storage pool. Defaults to cluster when cluster is provided, otherwise zone.
state string	Choices: present ← absent	State of the storage pool.
storage_tags list / elements=string		Tags associated with this storage pool. aliases: storage_tag
storage_url string		URL of the storage pool. Required if state=present.
zone string		Name of the zone in which the host should be deployed. If not set, default zone is used.

Notes

Note

• Ansible uses the cs library’s configuration method if credentials are not provided by the arguments api_url, api_key, api_secret. Configuration is read from several locations, in the following order. The CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT, CLOUDSTACK_KEY, CLOUDSTACK_SECRET and CLOUDSTACK_METHOD. CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT environment variables. A CLOUDSTACK_CONFIG environment variable pointing to an .ini file. A cloudstack.ini file in the current working directory. A .cloudstack.ini file in the users home directory. Optionally multiple credentials and endpoints can be specified using ini sections in cloudstack.ini. Use the argument api_region to select the section name, default section is cloudstack. See https://github.com/exoscale/cs for more information.

• A detailed guide about cloudstack modules can be found in the CloudStack Cloud Guide.

• This module supports check mode.
