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_vscan_on_demand_task.

New in netapp.ontap 2.8.0

Synopsis

  • Configure on demand task for Vscan

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.

cross_junction

boolean

Specifies whether the On-Demand task is allowed to cross volume junctions

This option is not supported with REST.

This option defaults to False for ZAPI.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

directory_recursion

boolean

Specifies whether the On-Demand task is allowed to recursively scan through sub-directories.

This option is not supported with REST.

This option defaults to False for ZAPI.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

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.

file_ext_to_exclude

list / elements=string

File-Extensions for which scanning must not be performed.

File whose extension matches with both inclusion and exclusion list is not considered for scanning.

file_ext_to_include

list / elements=string

File extensions for which scanning is considered.

The default value is ‘*’, which means that all files are considered for scanning except those which are excluded from scanning.

File whose extension matches with both inclusion and exclusion list is not considered for scanning.

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

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

key_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client key file.

max_file_size

integer

ontapi

integer

The ontap api version to use

password

aliases: pass

string

Password for the specified user.

paths_to_exclude

list / elements=string

File-paths for which scanning must not be performed.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

scan_paths
