Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

The name of the export policy to apply.

feature_flags

dictionary

added in netapp.ontap 20.5.0

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.

flexvol_name

string / required

The name of the FlexVol the qtree should exist on.

force_delete

boolean

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

time_out

integer

added in netapp.ontap 2.9.0

Maximum time to wait for qtree deletion in seconds when wait_for_completion is True.

Error out if task is not completed in defined time.

Default is set to 3 minutes.

Default: 180

unix_group

string

added in netapp.ontap 21.21.0

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.

wait_for_completion

boolean

added in netapp.ontap 2.9.0

Only applicable for REST. When using ZAPI, the deletion is always synchronous.

Deleting a qtree may take time if many files need to be deleted.

Set this parameter to ‘true’ for synchronous execution during delete.

Set this parameter to ‘false’ for asynchronous execution.

For asynchronous, execution exits as soon as the request is sent, and the qtree is deleted in background.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

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;’
