na_ontap_snapmirror – NetApp ONTAP or ElementSW Manage SnapMirror

New in version 2.7.

Synopsis

  • Create/Delete/Initialize SnapMirror volume/vserver relationships for ONTAP/ONTAP

  • Create/Delete/Initialize SnapMirror volume relationship between ElementSW and ONTAP

  • Modify schedule for a SnapMirror relationship for ONTAP/ONTAP and ElementSW/ONTAP

  • Pre-requisite for ElementSW to ONTAP relationship or vice-versa is an established SnapMirror endpoint for ONTAP cluster with ElementSW UI

  • Pre-requisite for ElementSW to ONTAP relationship or vice-versa is to have SnapMirror enabled in the ElementSW volume

  • For creating a SnapMirror ElementSW/ONTAP relationship, an existing ONTAP/ElementSW relationship should be present

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

  • Ansible 2.6

  • 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’

  • 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
connection_type
-
added in 2.9
    Choices:
  • ontap_ontap ←
  • elementsw_ontap
  • ontap_elementsw
Type of SnapMirror relationship.
Pre-requisite for either elementsw_ontap or ontap_elementsw the ElementSW volume should have enableSnapmirror option set to true.
For using ontap_elementsw, elementsw_ontap snapmirror relationship should exist.
destination_path
-
Specifies the destination endpoint of the SnapMirror relationship.
destination_volume
-
Specifies the name of the destination volume for the SnapMirror.
destination_vserver
-
Name of the destination vserver for the SnapMirror.
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
identity_preserve
boolean
added in 2.9
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Specifies whether or not the identity of the source Vserver is replicated to the destination Vserver.
If this parameter is set to true, the source Vserver's configuration will additionally be replicated to the destination.
If the parameter is set to false, then only the source Vserver's volumes and RBAC configuration are replicated to the destination.
max_transfer_rate
integer
added in 2.9
Specifies the upper bound, in kilobytes per second, at which data is transferred.
Default is unlimited, it can be explicitly set to 0 as unlimited.
ontapi
integer
The ontap api version to use
password
string / required
Password for the specified user.

aliases: pass
policy
-
added in 2.8
Specify the name of the SnapMirror policy that applies to this relationship.
relationship_type
-
    Choices:
  • data_protection
  • load_sharing
  • vault
  • restore
  • transition_data_protection
  • extended_data_protection
Specify the type of SnapMirror relationship.
schedule
-
Specify the name of the current schedule, which is used to update the SnapMirror relationship.
Optional for create, modifiable.
source_hostname
-
Source hostname or management IP address for ONTAP or ElementSW cluster.
Required for SnapMirror delete
source_password
-
Source password for ONTAP or ElementSW cluster.
Optional if this is same as destination password.
source_path
-
Specifies the source endpoint of the SnapMirror relationship.
If the source is an ONTAP volume, format should be <[vserver:][volume]> or <[[cluster:]//vserver/]volume>
If the source is an ElementSW volume, format should be <[Element_SVIP]:/lun/[Element_VOLUME_ID]>
If the source is an ElementSW volume, the volume should have SnapMirror enabled.
source_username
-
Source username for ONTAP or ElementSW cluster.
Optional if this is same as destination username.
source_volume
-
Specifies the name of the source volume for the SnapMirror.
source_vserver
-
Name of the source vserver for the SnapMirror.
state
-
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Whether the specified relationship should exist or not.
use_rest
string
    Choices:
  • Never
  • Always
  • 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 / required
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/.

Notes

Note

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