netapp.ontap.na_ontap_rest_info module – NetApp ONTAP information gatherer using REST APIs
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_rest_info.
New in netapp.ontap 20.5.0
Synopsis
This module allows you to gather various information about ONTAP configuration using REST APIs
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 |
|---|---|
path to SSL client cert file (.pem). not supported with python 2.6. |
|
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. |
|
Request specific fields from subset. Recommended - ‘<list of fields>’ to return specified fields, only one subset will be allowed. Discouraged - ‘*’ to return all the fields, one or more subsets are allowed. This option can be used for discovery, but is discouraged in production. Stongly discouraged - ‘**’ to return all the fields, one or more subsets are allowed. This option can put an extra load on the system and should not be used in production. Limited - ‘’ to return default fields, generally the properties that uniquely identify the record (keys). Other data is not returned by default and need to be explicitly called for using the field name or *. If the option is not present, return default fields for that API (see ‘’ above). |
|
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 Ignored with ZAPI. |

cluster_identity_info net_vlan_info sis_info snapmirror_destination_info system_node_info volume_space_info Can specify a list of values to include a larger subset. REST APIs are supported with ONTAP 9.6 onwards. Default: |
|
The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance. |
|
Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port |
|
Enable and disable https. Ignored when using REST as only https is supported. Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL. Choices:
|
|
List of substrings. If a substring is contained in an error message when fetching a subset, the module does not fail and the error is reported in the subset. |
|
path to SSL client key file. |
|
Maximum number of records returned in a single call. Default: |
|
The ontap api version to use |
|
Some resources cannot be accessed directly. You need to select them based on the owner or parent. For instance, volume for a snaphot. The following subsets require an owning resource, and the following suboptions when uuid is not present. <storage/volumes/snapshots> volume_name is the volume name, svm_name is the owning vserver name for the volume. <protocols/nfs/export-policies/rules> policy_name is the name of the policy, svm_name is the owning vserver name for the policy, rule_index is the rule index. <protocols/vscan/on-access-policies> svm_name is the owning vserver name for the vscan <protocols/vscan/on-demand-policies> svm_name is the owning vserver name for the vscan <protocols/vscan/scanner-pools> svm_name is the owning vserver name for the vscan |

Allows for any rest option to be passed in |
|
Password for the specified user. |
|
deprecated as of 21.1.0. this option was ignored and continues to be ignored. |
|
If true, / in the returned dictionary keys are translated to _. It makes it possible to use a . notation when processing the output. For instance ontap_info[“svm/svms”] can be accessed as ontap_info.svm_svms. Choices:
|
|
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: |
|
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
To use a certificate, the certificate must have been installed in the ONTAP cluster, and cert authentication must have been enabled. |

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;’
