By default, the operation runs till it completes.
|
|
enabled
boolean

|
feature_flags
dictionary
added in 20.5.0 of netapp.ontap
|
Enable or disable a new feature.

policy_name
string
/ required

The policy type reflects the reason a volume using this policy will start processing a changelog.

threshold Changelog processing occurs once the changelog reaches a certain percent full.
scheduled Changelog processing will be triggered by time.
|
qos_policy
string
|
|
QoS policy for the efficiency operation.
background efficiency operation will run in background with minimal or no impact on data serving client operations,
best-effort efficiency operations may have some impact on data serving client operations.
|
schedule
string
|
Cron type job schedule name. When the associated policy is set on a volume, the efficiency operation will be triggered for the volume on this schedule.
These schedules can be created using the na_ontap_job_schedule module
|
|
state
string
|
|
Whether the specified efficiency policy should exist or not.
|
use_rest
string
|
Default: "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
