Synopsis

  • Configure settings of an E-Series InfiniBand iSER interface IPv4 address configuration.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

address

string / required

The IPv4 address to assign to the interface.

Should be specified in xx.xx.xx.xx form.

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:8443/devmgr/v2

api_username

string / required

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

channel

integer / required

The InfiniBand HCA port you wish to modify.

Ports start left to right and start with 1.

controller

string / required

The controller that owns the port you want to configure.

Controller names are presented alphabetically, with the first controller as A, the second as B, and so on.

Current hardware models have either 1 or 2 available controllers, but that is not a guaranteed hard limitation and could change in the future.

Choices:

  • A

  • B

ssid

string

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

Default: 1

validate_certs

boolean

Should https certificates be validated?

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)

Notes

Note

  • Check mode is supported.

  • 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.

Examples

- name: Configure the first port on the A controller with a static IPv4 address
  na_santricity_ib_iser_interface:
    ssid: "1"
    api_url: "https://192.168.1.100:8443/devmgr/v2"
    api_username: "admin"
    api_password: "adminpass"
    validate_certs: true
    controller: "A"
    channel: "1"
    address: "192.168.1.100"

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key

Description

enabled

boolean

Indicates whether IPv4 connectivity has been enabled or disabled.

This does not necessarily indicate connectivity. If dhcp was enabled without a dhcp server, for instance, it is unlikely that the configuration will actually be valid.

Returned: on success

Sample: true

msg

string

Success message

Returned: on success

Sample: “The interface settings have been updated.”
