netapp.ontap.na_ontap_disks module – NetApp ONTAP Assign disks to nodes

Note

This module is part of the netapp.ontap collection (version 21.20.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install netapp.ontap.

To use it in a playbook, specify: netapp.ontap.na_ontap_disks.

New in version 2.7.0: of netapp.ontap

Synopsis

  • Assign disks to a node.

  • Disk autoassign must be turned off before using this module to prevent the disks being reassigned automatically by the cluster.

  • This can be done through na_ontap_disk_options or via the cli “disk option modify -node <node_name> -autoassign off”.

  • If min_spares is not specified min_spares default is 1 if SSD or 2 for any other disk type.

  • If disk_count is not specified all unassigned disks will be assigned to the node specified.

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;’
