netapp.ontap.na_ontap_igroup module – NetApp ONTAP iSCSI or FC igroup configuration

Note

This module is part of the netapp.ontap collection (version 22.7.0).

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 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_igroup.

New in netapp.ontap 2.6.0

Create/Delete/Rename Igroups and Modify initiators belonging to an igroup

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
bind_portset string	Name of a current portset to bind to the newly created igroup.
cert_filepath string added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0	path to SSL client cert file (.pem). not supported with python 2.6.
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.
force_remove_initiator aliases: allow_delete_while_mapped boolean	Forcibly remove the initiator even if there are existing LUNs mapped to this initiator group. This parameter should be used with caution. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
from_name string added in netapp.ontap 2.7.0	Name of igroup to rename to name.
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`
igroups list / elements=string added in netapp.ontap 21.3.0	List of igroups to be mapped to the igroup. For a modify operation, this list replaces the existing igroups, or existing initiators. This module does not add or remove specific igroup(s) in an igroup. Mutually exclusive with initiator_names (initiators) and initiator_objects. Requires ONTAP 9.9 or newer.
initiator_group_type aliases: protocol string	Type of the initiator group. Required when `state=present`. Choices: `"fcp"` `"iscsi"` `"mixed"`
initiator_names aliases: initiator, initiators list / elements=string added in netapp.ontap 21.4.0	List of initiators to be mapped to the igroup. WWPN, WWPN Alias, or iSCSI name of Initiator to add or remove. For a modify operation, this list replaces the existing initiators, or existing igroups. This module does not add or remove specific initiator(s) in an igroup. Mutually exclusive with igroups and initiator_objects. This serves the same purpose as initiator_objects, but without the comment suboption.
initiator_objects list / elements=dictionary added in netapp.ontap 21.4.0	List of initiators to be mapped to the igroup, with an optional comment field. WWPN, WWPN Alias, or iSCSI name of Initiator to add or remove. For a modify operation, this list replaces the existing initiators, or existing igroups. This module does not add or remove specific initiator(s) in an igroup. Mutually exclusive with initiator_names (initiators) and igroups. Requires ONTAP 9.9 with REST support.
comment string	a more descriptive comment as the WWPN can be quite opaque.
name string / required	name of the initiator.
key_filepath string added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0	path to SSL client key file.
name string / required	The name of the igroup to manage.
ontapi integer	The ontap api version to use
os_type aliases: ostype string	OS type of the initiators within the group.
password aliases: pass string	Password for the specified user.
state string	Whether the specified Igroup should exist or not. Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"`
use_rest string	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 basic authentication, using username and password, 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.
validate_certs boolean	If set to `no`, the SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `False` used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
vserver string / required	The name of the vserver to use.

Notes 

Note

supports check mode.
supports ZAPI and REST.
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;’
