netapp_eseries.santricity.na_santricity_proxy_systems module – NetApp E-Series manage SANtricity web services proxy storage arrays

Note

This module is part of the netapp_eseries.santricity collection (version 1.4.0).

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\_eseries.santricity.

To use it in a playbook, specify: netapp_eseries.santricity.na_santricity_proxy_systems.

Synopsis

  • Manage the arrays accessible via a NetApp Web Services Proxy for NetApp E-series storage arrays.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

accept_certificate

boolean

Accept the storage system’s certificate automatically even when it is self-signed.

Use ERROR while parsing M('na_santricity_certificates'): parameter ‘na_santricity_certificates’ is not a FQCN to add certificates to SANtricity Web Services Proxy.

SANtricity Web Services Proxy will fail to add any untrusted storage system.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

add_discovered_systems

boolean

This flag will force all discovered storage systems to be added to SANtricity Web Services Proxy.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

api_password

string / required

The password to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.

api_url

string / required

The url to the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.

Example https://prod-1.wahoo.acme.com:8443/devmgr/v2

api_username

string / required

The username to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.

password

string

Default storage system password which will be used anytime when password has not been provided in the systems sub-options.

The storage system admin password will be set on the device itself with the provided admin password if it is not set.

subnet_mask

string

This is the IPv4 search range for discovering E-Series storage arrays.

IPv4 subnet mask specified in CIDR form. Example 192.168.1.0/24 would search the range 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255.

Be sure to include all management paths in the search range.

systems

list / elements=string

List of storage system information which defines which systems should be added on SANtricity Web Services Proxy.

Accepts a simple serial number list or list of dictionary containing at minimum the serial or addresses key from the sub-option list.

Note that the serial number will be used as the storage system identifier when an identifier is not specified.

When add_discovered_systems == False and any system serial number not supplied that is discovered will be removed from the proxy.

Default: []

addresses

list / elements=string

List of storage system’s IPv4 addresses.

Mutually exclusive with the sub-option serial.

password

string

This is the storage system admin password.

When not provided default_password will be used.

The storage system admin password will be set on the device itself with the provided admin password if it is not set.

serial

string

Storage system’s serial number which can be located on the top of every NetApp E-Series enclosure.

Include any leading zeros.

Mutually exclusive with the sub-option address.

ssid

string

This is the Web Services Proxy’s identifier for a storage system.

When ssid is not specified then either the serial or first controller IPv4 address will be used instead.

tags

dictionary

Optional meta tags to associate to the storage system

tags

dictionary

Default meta tags to associate with all storage systems if not otherwise specified in systems sub-options.

validate_certs

boolean

Should https certificates be validated?

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

Notes

Note

  • The E-Series Ansible modules require either an instance of the Web Services Proxy (WSP), to be available to manage the storage-system, or an E-Series storage-system that supports the Embedded Web Services API.

  • Embedded Web Services is currently available on the E2800, E5700, EF570, and newer hardware models.

  • ERROR while parsing M('netapp_e_storage_system'): parameter ‘netapp_e_storage_system’ is not a FQCN may be utilized for configuring the systems managed by a WSP instance.
