Note
This module is part of the netapp.ontap collection (version 22.8.3).
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_cifs.
New in netapp.ontap 2.6.0
Synopsis
Create or destroy or modify(path) cifs-share on 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
Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
|---|---|
If enabled, all folders inside this share are visible to a user based on that individual user access right; prevents the display of folders or other shared resources that the user does not have access to. This option only supported with REST. Choices:
|
|
Specifies whether or not the SMB2 clients are allowed to access the encrypted share. This option requires REST and ONTAP 9.11.0 or later. Choices:
|
|
Specifies whether or not the Windows clients can browse the share. This option requires REST and ONTAP 9.13.1 or later. Choices:
|
|
path to SSL client cert file (.pem). not supported with python 2.6. |
|
Specifies whether CIFS clients can request for change notifications for directories on this share. This option only supported with REST. Choices:
|
|
The CIFS share description. |
|
Specifies whether or not the clients connecting to this share can open files in a persistent manner. Files opened in this way are protected from disruptive events, such as, failover and giveback. This option requires REST and ONTAP 9.10.1 or later. Choices:
|
|
Specifies that SMB encryption must be used when accessing this share. Clients that do not support encryption are not able to access this share. This option only supported with REST. Choices:
|
|
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. |
|
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 Ignored with ZAPI. |
|
Specifies whether or not the share is a home directory share, where the share and path names are dynamic. ONTAP home directory functionality automatically offer each user a dynamic share to their home directory without creating an individual SMB share for each user. This feature enable us to configure a share that maps to different directories based on the user that connects to it Instead of creating a separate shares for each user, a single share with a home directory parameters can be created. In a home directory share, ONTAP dynamically generates the share-name and share-path by substituting %w, %u, and %d variables with the corresponding Windows user name, UNIX user name, and domain name, respectively. This option only supported with REST and cannot modify. Choices:
|
|
The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance. |
|
Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port |
|
Enable and disable https. Ignored when using REST as only https is supported. Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL. Choices:
|
|
path to SSL client key file. |
|
The name of the CIFS share. The CIFS share name is a UTF-8 string with the following characters being illegal; control characters from 0x00 to 0x1F, both inclusive, 0x22 (double quotes) |
|
Specifies whether or not the SMB clients connecting to this share can cache the directory enumeration results returned by the CIFS servers. This option requires REST and ONTAP 9.10.1 or later. Choices:
|
|
The ontap api version to use |
|
Specify whether opportunistic locks are enabled on this share. “Oplocks” allow clients to lock files and cache content locally, which can increase performance for file operations. Only supported with REST. Choices:
|
|
Password for the specified user. |
|
The file system path that is shared through this CIFS share. The path is the full, user visible path relative to the vserver root, and it might be crossing junction mount points. The path is in UTF8 and uses forward slash as directory separator. |
|
The list of properties for the CIFS share. Not supported with REST. share-properties are separate fields in the REST API. You can achieve this functionality by setting |
|
Specifies that the previous version can be viewed and restored from the client. This option requires REST and ONTAP 9.13.1 or later. Choices:
|
|
Specifies whether or not the Snapshot copies can be viewed and traversed by clients. This option requires REST and ONTAP 9.10.1 or later. Choices:
|
|
Whether the specified CIFS share should exist or not. Choices:
|
|
The list of symlink properties for this CIFS share. Not supported with REST, this option is replaced with |
|
The list of unix_symlink properties for this CIFS share This option only supported with REST. Choices:
|
|
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: |
|
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
To use a certificate, the certificate must have been installed in the ONTAP cluster, and cert authentication must have been enabled. |
|
If set to This should only set to Choices:
|
|
Profile_set of file_ops to which vscan on access scanning is applicable. Not supported with REST. Choices:
|
|
Vserver containing the CIFS share. |
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;’
