Notes

Note

• The E-Series Ansible modules require either an instance of the Web Services Proxy (WSP), to be available to manage the storage-system, or an E-Series storage-system that supports the Embedded Web Services API.

• Embedded Web Services is currently available on the E2800, E5700, EF570, and newer hardware models.

• netapp_e_storage_system may be utilized for configuring the systems managed by a WSP instance.

Examples

- name: Define or update an existing host named 'Host1'
  netapp_e_host:
    ssid: "1"
    api_url: "10.113.1.101:8443"
    api_username: admin
    api_password: myPassword
    name: "Host1"
    state: present
    host_type_index: Linux DM-MP
    ports:
      - type: 'iscsi'
        label: 'PORT_1'
        port: 'iqn.1996-04.de.suse:01:56f86f9bd1fe'

- name: Ensure a host named 'Host2' doesn't exist
  netapp_e_host:
    ssid: "1"
