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.
force_port boolean added in 2.7 of netapp_eseries.santricity	Allow ports that are already assigned to be re-assigned to your current host Choices: no yes
group aliases: cluster string	The unique identifier of the host-group you want the host to be a member of; this is used for clustering.
host_type aliases: host_type_index string	This is the type of host to be mapped Required when `state=present` Either one of the following names can be specified, Linux DM-MP, VMWare, Windows, Windows Clustered, or a host type index which can be found in M(netapp_e_facts)
log_path string added in 2.7 of netapp_eseries.santricity	A local path to a file to be used for debug logging
name aliases: label string / required	If the host doesn’t yet exist, the label/name to assign at creation time. If the hosts already exists, this will be used to uniquely identify the host to make any required changes
ports list / elements=string	A list of host ports you wish to associate with the host. Host ports are uniquely identified by their WWN or IQN. Their assignments to a particular host are uniquely identified by a label and these must be unique.
label string / required	A unique label to assign to this port assignment.
port string / required	The WWN or IQN of the hostPort to assign to this port definition.
type string / required	The interface type of the port to define. Acceptable choices depend on the capabilities of the target hardware/software platform. Choices: iscsi sas fc ib nvmeof ethernet
ssid string	The ID of the array to manage. This value must be unique for each array. Default: 1
state string added in 2.7 of netapp_eseries.santricity	Set to absent to remove an existing host Set to present to modify or create a new host definition Choices: absent present ← (default)
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.
