Note

This module is part of the ibm.spectrum_virtualize collection (version 1.12.0).

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 ibm.spectrum\_virtualize.

To use it in a playbook, specify: ibm.spectrum_virtualize.ibm_svc_manage_volume.

New in ibm.spectrum_virtualize 1.6.0

Synopsis

  • Ansible interface to manage ‘mkvolume’, ‘rmvolume’, and ‘chvdisk’ volume commands.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

buffersize

string

Specifies the pool capacity that the volume will reserve as a buffer for thin-provisioned and compressed volumes.

Parameter ‘thin’ or ‘compressed’ must be specified to use this parameter.

The default buffer size is 2%.

thin or compressed is required when using buffersize.

Valid when state=present, to create a volume.

cloud_account_name

string

added in ibm.spectrum_virtualize 1.11.0

Specifies the name of the cloud account name.

Valid when enable_cloud_snapshot=true.

clustername

string / required

The hostname or management IP of the Spectrum Virtualize storage system.

compressed

boolean

Specifies that a compressed volume is to be created.

Parameters ‘compressed’ and ‘thin’ are mutually exclusive.

Valid when state=present, to create a compressed volume.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

deduplicated

boolean

Specifies that a deduplicated volume is to be created.

Required when state=present, to create a deduplicated volume.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

domain

string

Domain for the Spectrum Virtualize storage system.

Valid when hostname is used for the parameter clustername.

enable_cloud_snapshot

boolean

added in ibm.spectrum_virtualize 1.11.0

Specify to enable or disable cloud snapshot.

Valid when state=present, to modify an existing volume.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

iogrp

string

Specifies the list of I/O group names. Group names in the list must be separated by using a comma.

While creating a new volume, the first I/O group in the list is added as both cached & access I/O group, while remaining I/O groups are added as access I/O groups.

This parameter supports update functionality.

Valid when state=present, to create or modify a volume.

log_path

string

Path of debug log file.

name

string / required

Specifies the name to assign to the new volume.

novolumegroup

boolean

If specified `True`, the volume is removed from its associated volumegroup.

Parameters ‘novolumegroup’ and ‘volumegroup’ are mutually exclusive.

Valid when state=present, to modify a volume.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

old_name

string

added in ibm.spectrum_virtualize 1.9.0

Specifies the old name of the volume during renaming.

Valid when state=present, to rename an existing volume.

password

string

REST API password for the Spectrum Virtualize storage system.

The parameters username and password are required if not using token to authenticate a user.

pool

string

Specifies the name of the storage pool to use while creating the volume.

This parameter is required when state=present, to create a volume.

size

string

Defines the size of the volume. This parameter can also be used to resize an existing volume.

Required when state=present, to create or modify a volume.

state

string / required

Creates or updates (present) or removes (absent) a volume.

Choices:

  • "absent"

  • "present"

thin

boolean

Specifies that a thin-provisioned volume is to be created.

Parameters ‘thin’ and ‘compressed’ are mutually exclusive.

Valid when state=present, to create a thin-provisioned volume.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

token

string

The authentication token to verify a user on the Spectrum Virtualize storage system.

To generate a token, use the ibm_svc_auth module.

unit

string

Specifies the data units to use with the capacity that is specified by the ‘size’ parameter.

size is required when using unit.

Choices:

  • "b"

  • "kb"

  • "mb" ← (default)

  • "gb"

  • "tb"

  • "pb"

username

string

REST API username for the Spectrum Virtualize storage system.

The parameters username and password are required if not using token to authenticate a user.

validate_certs

boolean

Validates certification.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

volumegroup

string

Specifies the name of the volumegroup to which the volume is to be added.

Parameters ‘volumegroup’ and ‘novolumegroup’ are mutually exclusive.

Valid when state=present, to create or modify a volume.

Notes

Note

  • This module supports check_mode.
