Synopsis

  • Allows for the initialization, suspension and resumption of an asynchronous mirror group’s synchronization for NetApp E-series storage arrays.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

api_password

string / required

The password to authenticate with the SANtricity WebServices Proxy or embedded REST API.

api_url

string / required

The url to the SANtricity WebServices Proxy or embedded REST API.

api_username

string / required

The username to authenticate with the SANtricity WebServices Proxy or embedded REST API.

delete_recovery_point

boolean

Indicates whether the failures point can be deleted on the secondary if necessary to achieve the synchronization.

If true, and if the amount of unsynchronized data exceeds the CoW repository capacity on the secondary for any member volume, the last failures point will be deleted and synchronization will continue.

If false, the synchronization will be suspended if the amount of unsynchronized data exceeds the CoW Repository capacity on the secondary and the failures point will be preserved.

NOTE: This only has impact for newly launched syncs.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

name

string / required

The name of the async mirror group you wish to target

ssid

string

The ID of the storage array containing the AMG you wish to target

state

string / required

The synchronization action you’d like to take.

If running then it will begin syncing if there is no active sync or will resume a suspended sync. If there is already a sync in progress, it will return with an OK status.

If suspended it will suspend any ongoing sync action, but return OK if there is no active sync or if the sync is already suspended

Choices:

  • running

  • suspended

validate_certs

boolean

Should https certificates be validated?

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)

Examples

- name: start AMG async

    name: "{{ amg_sync_name }}"
    state: running
    ssid: "{{ ssid }}"
    api_url: "{{ netapp_api_url }}"
    api_username: "{{ netapp_api_username }}"
    api_password: "{{ netapp_api_password }}"
