netapp.ontap.na_ontap_cluster_peer module – NetApp ONTAP Manage Cluster peering

Note

This module is part of the netapp.ontap collection (version 21.24.1).

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. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

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

New in netapp.ontap 2.7.0

Synopsis

  • Create/Delete cluster peer relations on ONTAP

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • Ansible 2.9 or later - 2.12 or later is recommended.

  • Python3 - 3.9 or later is recommended.

  • When using ZAPI, 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

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

cert_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client cert file (.pem).

not supported with python 2.6.

dest_cluster_name

string

The name of the destination cluster name in the peer relation to be deleted.

Required to complete the peering process at destination cluster.

dest_intercluster_lifs

aliases: dest_intercluster_lif

list / elements=string

added in netapp.ontap 2.8.0

List of intercluster addresses of the destination cluster.

Used as peer-addresses in source cluster.

All these intercluster lifs should belong to the destination cluster.

dest_password

string

DEPRECATED - please use peer_options.

Destination password.

Optional if this is same as source password or if a certificate is used..

dest_username

string

DEPRECATED - please use peer_options.

Destination username.

Optional if this is same as source username or if a certificate is used.

encryption_protocol_proposed

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.5.0

Encryption protocol to be used for inter-cluster communication.

Only available on ONTAP 9.5 or later.

Choices:

  • "tls_psk"

  • "none"

feature_flags

dictionary

added in netapp.ontap 20.5.0

Enable or disable a new feature.

This can be used to enable an experimental feature or disable a new feature that breaks backward compatibility.

Supported keys and values are subject to change without notice. Unknown keys are ignored.

force_ontap_version

string

added in netapp.ontap 21.23.0

Override the cluster ONTAP version when using REST.

The behavior is undefined if the version does not match the target cluster.

This is provided as a work-around when the cluster version cannot be read because of permission issues. See https://github.com/ansible-collections/netapp.ontap/wiki/Known-issues.

This should be in the form 9.10 or 9.10.1 with each element being an integer number.

When use_rest is set to auto, this may force a switch to ZAPI based on the version and platform capabilities.

Ignored with ZAPI.

hostname

string / required

The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.

http_port

integer

Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port

https

boolean

Enable and disable https.

Ignored when using REST as only https is supported.

Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

ipspace

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.11.0

IPspace of the local intercluster LIFs.

Assumes Default IPspace if not provided.

key_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client key file.

ontapi

integer

The ontap api version to use

passphrase

string

The arbitrary passphrase that matches the one given to the peer cluster.

password

aliases: pass

string

Password for the specified user.

peer_options

dictionary

added in netapp.ontap 21.8.0

IP address and connection options for the peer system.

If any if these options is not specified, the corresponding source option is used.

cert_filepath

string

path to SSL client cert file (.pem).

force_ontap_version

string

added in netapp.ontap 21.23.0

Override the cluster ONTAP version when using REST.

The behavior is undefined if the version does not match the target cluster.

This is provided as a work-around when the cluster version cannot be read because of permission issues. See https://github.com/ansible-collections/netapp.ontap/wiki/Known-issues.

This should be in the form 9.10 or 9.10.1 with each element being an integer number.

When use_rest is set to auto, this may force a switch to ZAPI based on the version and platform capabilities.

Ignored with ZAPI.

hostname

string / required

The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.

http_port

Whether the specified cluster peer should exist or not.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

use_rest

string

Whether to use REST or ZAPI.

always – will always use the REST API if the module supports REST. A warning is issued if the module does not support REST. An error is issued if a module option is not supported in REST.

never – will always use ZAPI if the module supports ZAPI. An error may be issued if a REST option is not supported in ZAPI.

auto – will try to use the REST API if the module supports REST and modules options are supported. Reverts to ZAPI otherwise.

Default: "auto"

username

aliases: user

string

This can be a Cluster-scoped or SVM-scoped account, depending on whether a Cluster-level or SVM-level API is required.

For more information, please read the documentation https://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/nmsdk/9.4/.

Two authentication methods are supported

  1. basic authentication, using username and password,

  2. SSL certificate authentication, using a ssl client cert file, and optionally a private key file.

To use a certificate, the certificate must have been installed in the ONTAP cluster, and cert authentication must have been enabled.

boolean

If set to no, the SSL certificates will not be validated.

This should only set to False used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

Notes

Note

  • The modules prefixed with na_ontap are built to support the ONTAP storage platform.

  • https is enabled by default and recommended. To enable http on the cluster you must run the following commands ‘set -privilege advanced;’ ‘system services web modify -http-enabled true;’
