netapp.ontap.na_ontap_svm module – NetApp ONTAP SVM

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_svm.

New in netapp.ontap 2.6.0

Synopsis

  • Create, modify or delete SVM on NetApp 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

admin_state

string

added in netapp.ontap 21.15.0

This is ignored with ZAPI.

Choices:

  • "running"

  • "stopped"

aggr_list

list / elements=string

List of aggregates assigned for volume operations.

These aggregates could be shared for use with other Vservers.

When specified as part of a vserver-create, this field represents the list of aggregates that are assigned to the Vserver for volume operations.

When part of vserver-get-iter call, this will return the list of Vservers which have any of the aggregates specified as part of the aggr list.

allowed_protocols

list / elements=string

Allowed Protocols.

This field represent the list of protocols allowed on the Vserver.

When part of modify, this field should include the existing list along with new protocol list to be added to prevent data disruptions.

Possible values

nfs NFS protocol,

cifs CIFS protocol,

fcp FCP protocol,

iscsi iSCSI protocol,

ndmp NDMP protocol,

http HTTP protocol - ZAPI only,

nvme NVMe protocol

cert_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client cert file (.pem).

not supported with python 2.6.

comment

string

added in netapp.ontap 2.8.0

When specified as part of a vserver-create, this field represents the comment associated with the Vserver.

When part of vserver-get-iter call, this will return the list of matching Vservers.

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.

Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

ignore_rest_unsupported_options

boolean

added in netapp.ontap 21.10.0

When true, ignore root_volume, root_volume_aggregate, root_volume_security_style options if target supports REST.

  • false ← (default)

  • true
