New in netapp.ontap 2.6.0

Synopsis

  • Create or delete or modify export rules in 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

allow_suid

boolean

If ‘true’, NFS server will honor SetUID bits in SETATTR operation. Default value on creation is ‘true’

Choices:

  • false

  • true

anonymous_user_id

string

User name or ID to which anonymous users are mapped. Default value is ‘65534’.

cert_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client cert file (.pem).

not supported with python 2.6.

chown_mode

string

added in netapp.ontap 22.0.0

Specifies who is authorized to change the ownership mode of a file.

Choices:

  • "restricted"

client_match

list / elements=string

List of Client Match host names, IP Addresses, Netgroups, or Domains.

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_delete_on_first_match

boolean

added in netapp.ontap 21.23.0

when rule_index is not set, the default is to report an error on multiple matches.

when this option is set, one of the rules with an exact match is deleted when state is absent.

ignored when state is present.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

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.

from_rule_index

integer

added in netapp.ontap 21.20.0

index of the export policy rule to be re-indexed

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

key_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client key file.

name

aliases: policy_name

string / required

The name of the export policy this rule will be added to (or modified, or removed from).

ntfs_unix_security

string

added in netapp.ontap 21.18.0

NTFS export UNIX security options.

With REST, supported from ONTAP 9.9.1 version.

Choices:

  • "flexcache"

ro_rule

list / elements=string

List of Read only access specifications for the rule

Choices:

  • "any"

  • "none"

  • "never"

  • "krb5"

  • "krb5i"

  • "krb5p"

  • "ntlm"

  • "sys"

rule_index

integer

Index of the export policy rule.

When rule_index is not set, we try to find a rule with an exact match. If found, no action is taken with state set to present, and the rule is deleted with state set to absent. An error is reported if more than one rule is found.

When rule_index is set and state is present, if a rule cannot be found with this index, we try to find a rule with an exact match and assign the index to this rule if found. If no match is found, a new rule is created.

All attributes that are set are used for an exact match. As a minimum, client_match, ro_rule, and rw_rule are required.

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.

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

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;’
