Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
aggr_list
-
added in 2.8
an array of names of aggregates to be used for FlexGroup constituents.
aggr_list_multiplier
-
added in 2.8
The number of times to iterate over the aggregates listed with the aggr_list parameter when creating a FlexGroup.
aggregate_name
-
The name of the aggregate the flexvol should exist on.
Required when state=present.
atime_update
boolean
added in 2.8
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
This is an advanced option, the default is True.
If false, prevent the update of inode access times when a file is read.
This value is useful for volumes with extremely high read traffic, since it prevents writes to the inode file for the volume from contending with reads from other files.
This field should be used carefully.
That is, use this field when you know in advance that the correct access time for inodes will not be needed for files on that volume.
auto_provision_as
-
added in 2.8
    Choices:
  • flexgroup
Automatically provision a FlexGroup volume.
efficiency_policy
-
added in 2.7
Allows a storage efficiency policy to be set on volume creation.
encrypt
boolean
added in 2.7
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether or not to enable Volume Encryption.
from_name
-
added in 2.7
Name of the existing volume to be renamed to name.
hostname

The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.
http_port
integer

boolean
    Choices:

  • no
  • yes ←
Whether the specified volume is online, or not.
junction_path
-
Junction path of the volume.
To unmount, use junction path ''.

string / required
Password for the specified user.

aliases: pass
percent_snapshot_space
-
Amount of space reserved for snapshot copies of the volume.

  • no
  • yes
This is an advanced option, the default is False.
Enable the visible '.snapshot' directory that is normally present at system internal mount points.
This value also turns on access to all other '.snapshot' directories in the volume.
