New in version 2.2: of netapp_eseries.santricity

Synopsis

  • Allows for the creation, removal and updating of Asynchronous Mirror Groups for NetApp E-series storage arrays

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

api_password

string / required

The password to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.

api_url

string / required

The url to the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API. Example https://prod-1.wahoo.acme.com/devmgr/v2

api_username

string / required

The username to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.

interfaceType

string

The intended protocol to use if both Fibre and iSCSI are available.

Choices:

  • iscsi

  • fibre

manualSync

boolean

Setting this to true will cause other synchronization values to be ignored

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

name

string / required

The name of the async array you wish to target, or create.

If state is present and the name isn’t found, it will attempt to create.

new_name

string

New async array name

recoveryWarnThresholdMinutes

integer

Recovery point warning threshold (minutes). The user will be warned when the age of the last good failures point exceeds this value

Default: 20

repoUtilizationWarnThreshold

integer

Recovery point warning threshold

Default: 80

secondaryArrayId

string / required

The ID of the secondary array to be used in mirroring process

ssid

string

The ID of the array to manage. This value must be unique for each array.

Default: 1

state

string / required

A state of present will either create or update the async mirror group.

A state of absent will remove the async mirror group.

Choices:

  • absent

  • present

syncIntervalMinutes

integer

The synchronization interval in minutes

Default: 10

syncWarnThresholdMinutes

integer

The threshold (in minutes) for notifying the user that periodic synchronization has taken too long to complete.

Default: 10

validate_certs

boolean

Should https certificates be validated?

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)

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.

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