Synopsis

  • Create, destroy, resize LUNs on NetApp ONTAP.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • Ansible 2.9

  • Python3 netapp-lib (2018.11.13) or later. Install using ‘pip install netapp-lib’

  • netapp-lib 2020.3.12 is strongly recommended as it provides better error reporting for connection issues.

  • A physical or virtual clustered Data ONTAP system. The modules support Data ONTAP 9.1 and onward.

  • REST support requires ONTAP 9.6 or later.

  • To enable http on the cluster you must run the following commands ‘set -privilege advanced;’ ‘system services web modify -http-enabled true;’

The name of the FlexVol the LUN should exist on.
Required if san_application_template is not present.
Not allowed if san_application_template is present.
force_remove
boolean
    Choices:

If "true", override checks that prevent a LUN from being destroyed if it is online and mapped.
If "false", destroying an online and mapped LUN will fail.
force_remove_fenced
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
If "true", override checks that prevent a LUN from being destroyed while it is fenced.

The name of the LUN to be renamed.
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.
Ignored when using REST as only https is supported.
Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL.
key_filepath
string
added in 20.6.0 of netapp.ontap
path to SSL client key file.
name
string / required
The name of the LUN to manage.
Or LUN group name (volume name) when san_application_template is used.

os_type
string
The os type for the LUN.

aliases: ostype
password
string
Password for the specified user.

aliases: pass
qos_adaptive_policy_group
string
added in 21.2.0 of netapp.ontap
The adaptive QoS policy group to be set on the LUN.
Defines measurable service level objectives (SLOs) and service level agreements (SLAs) that adjust based on the LUN's allocated space or used space.
Requires ONTAP 9.4 or later.
qos_policy_group
string
added in 20.12.0 of netapp.ontap
The QoS policy group to be set on the LUN.
san_application_template
dictionary
added in 20.12.0 of netapp.ontap
additional options when using the application/applications REST API to create LUNs.
the module is using ZAPI by default, and switches to REST if san_application_template is present.
create one or more LUNs (and the associated volume as needed).
operations at the LUN level are supported, they require to know the LUN short name.
this requires ONTAP 9.8 or higher.
The module partially supports ONTAP 9.7 for create and delete operations, but not for modify (API limitations).
igroup_name
string
name of the initiator group through which the contents of this application will be accessed.
lun_count
integer
number of LUNs in the application component (1 to 32).
name
string / required
name of the SAN application.
protection_type
dictionary
The snasphot policy for the volume supporting the LUNs.
local_policy
string
The snapshot copy policy for the volume.
scope
string
added in 21.2.0 of netapp.ontap
    Choices:
  • application
  • auto ←
  • lun
whether the top level name identifies a single LUN or a LUN group (application).
By default, the module will try to make the right choice, but can report extra warnings.
Setting scope to 'application' is required to convert an existing volume to a smart container.
The module reports an error when 'lun' or 'application' is used and the desired action cannot be completed.
The module issues warnings when the default 'auto' is used, and there is ambiguity regarding the desired actions.
storage_service
string
    Choices:
  • value
  • performance
  • extreme
The performance service level (PSL) for this volume
tiering
dictionary
Cloud tiering policy.

  • auto
  • none
  • snapshot-only
Cloud tiering policy.
total_size
integer
added in 21.1.0 of netapp.ontap
The total size of the application component, split across the member LUNs in total_size_unit.
Recommended when lun_count is present.
Required when lun_count is present and greater than 1.
Note - if lun_count is equal to 1, and total_size is not present, size is used to maintain backward compatibility.

always -- will always use the REST API
never -- will always use the ZAPI
auto -- will try to use the REST Api
username
string
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/.
Two authentication methods are supported
1. basic authentication, using username and password,
