Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
aggr_list
list
added in 2.8
an array of names of aggregates to be used for FlexGroup constituents.
aggr_list_multiplier
integer
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
string
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
string
added in 2.8
    Choices:
  • flexgroup
Automatically provision a FlexGroup volume.
comment
string
added in 2.9
Sets a comment associated with the volume.
efficiency_policy
string
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
string
added in 2.7
Name of the existing volume to be renamed to name.
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
is_infinite
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Set True if the volume is an Infinite Volume. Deleting an infinite volume is asynchronous.
is_online
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
Whether the specified volume is online, or not.
junction_path
string
Junction path of the volume.
To unmount, use junction path ''.
language
string
added in 2.8
Language to use for Volume
Default uses SVM language

name
string / required
The name of the volume to manage.
nvfail_enabled
boolean
added in 2.9
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
If true, the controller performs additional work at boot and takeover times if it finds that there has been any potential data loss in the volume's constituents due to an NVRAM failure.
The volume's constituents would be put in a special state called 'in-nvfailed-state' such that protocol access is blocked.
This will cause the client applications to crash and thus prevent access to stale data.
To get out of this situation, the admin needs to manually clear the 'in-nvfailed-state' on the volume's constituents.
ontapi
integer
The ontap api version to use
password
string / required
Password for the specified user.

aliases: pass
percent_snapshot_space
integer
Amount of space reserved for snapshot copies of the volume.
policy
string
Name of the export policy.
qos_adaptive_policy_group
-
added in 2.9
Specifies a QoS adaptive policy group to be set on volume.
qos_policy_group
-
added in 2.9
Specifies a QoS policy group to be set on volume.
size
integer
The size of the volume in (size_unit). Required when state=present.
size_unit
string
    Choices:
  • bytes
  • b
  • kb
  • mb
  • gb ←
  • tb
  • pb
  • eb
  • zb
  • yb
The unit used to interpret the size parameter.
snapdir_access
boolean
added in 2.8
    Choices:
  • 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.
snapshot_policy
string
added in 2.8
The name of the snapshot policy.
the default policy name is 'default'.
space_guarantee
string
    Choices:
  • none
  • file
  • volume
Space guarantee style for the volume.
space_slo
string
added in 2.9
    Choices:
  • none
  • thick
  • semi-thick
Specifies the space SLO type for the volume. The space SLO type is the Service Level Objective for space management for the volume.
The space SLO value is used to enforce existing volume settings so that sufficient space is set aside on the aggregate to meet the space SLO.
This parameter is not supported on Infinite Volumes.
state
-
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Whether the specified volume should exist or not.
tiering_policy
string
added in 2.9
    Choices:
  • snapshot-only
  • auto
  • backup
  • none
The tiering policy that is to be associated with the volume.
This policy decides whether the blocks of a volume will be tiered to the capacity tier.
snapshot-only policy allows tiering of only the volume snapshot copies not associated with the active file system.
auto policy allows tiering of both snapshot and active file system user data to the capacity tier.
backup policy on DP volumes allows all transferred user data blocks to start in the capacity tier.
When set to none, the Volume blocks will not be tiered to the capacity tier.
If no value specified, the volume is assigned snapshot only by default.
time_out
integer
added in 2.8
 Default:
180
time to wait for flexGroup creation, modification, or deletion in seconds.
Error out if task is not completed in defined time.
if 0, the request is asynchronous.
default is set to 3 minutes.
type
string
The volume type, either read-write (RW) or data-protection (DP).
unix_permissions
string
added in 2.8
Unix permission bits in octal or symbolic format.
For example, 0 is equivalent to ------------, 777 is equivalent to ---rwxrwxrwx,both formats are accepted.
The valid octal value ranges between 0 and 777 inclusive.
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/.

aliases: user
validate_certs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • 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.

string
    Choices:
  • mixed ←
  • ntfs
  • unified

  • unprotected
Specifies the protection type for the volume in a Vserver DR setup.
wait_for_completion
boolean
added in 2.8
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Set this parameter to 'true' for synchronous execution during create (wait until volume status is online)
Set this parameter to 'false' for asynchronous execution
For asynchronous, execution exits as soon as the request is sent, without checking volume status

Notes

Note

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