netapp.ontap.na_ontap_lun module – NetApp ONTAP manage LUNs

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_lun.

New in netapp.ontap 2.6.0

Synopsis

  • Create, destroy, resize LUNs on NetApp 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

cert_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client cert file (.pem).

not supported with python 2.6.

comment

string

added in netapp.ontap 21.2.0

Optional descriptive comment for the LUN.

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.

flexvol_name

string

The name of the FlexVol the LUN should exist on.

Required if san_application_template is not present.

Not allowed if san_application_template is present.

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

boolean

If “true”, override checks that prevent a LUN from being destroyed if it is online and mapped.

If “false”, destroying an online and mapped LUN will fail.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

force_remove_fenced

boolean

If “true”, override checks that prevent a LUN from being destroyed while it is fenced.

If “false”, attempting to destroy a fenced LUN will fail.

The default if not specified is “false”. This field is available in Data ONTAP 8.2 and later.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

force_resize

boolean

Forcibly reduce the size. This is required for reducing the size of the LUN to avoid accidentally reducing the LUN size.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

The name of the LUN to be renamed.

hostname

string / required

The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.

http_port

  • true

key_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client key file.

password

aliases: pass

string

Password for the specified user.

qos_adaptive_policy_group

string

added in netapp.ontap 21.2.0

The adaptive QoS policy group to be set on the LUN.

Defines measurable service level objectives (SLOs) and service level agreements (SLAs) that adjust based on the LUN’s allocated space or used space.

Requires ONTAP 9.4 or later.

With REST, qos_policy_group and qos_adaptive_policy_group are handled as QOS policy.

qos_policy_group

The QoS policy group to be set on the LUN.

With REST, qos_policy_group and qos_adaptive_policy_group are handled as QOS policy.

Not allowed if san_application_template is present.

Only supported with REST.

san_application_template

dictionary

added in netapp.ontap 20.12.0

additional options when using the application/applications REST API to create LUNs.

the module is using ZAPI by default, and switches to REST if san_application_template is present.

create one or more LUNs (and the associated volume as needed).

operations at the LUN level are supported, they require to know the LUN short name.

this requires ONTAP 9.8 or higher.

The module partially supports ONTAP 9.7 for create and delete operations, but not for modify (API limitations).

exclude_aggregates

list / elements=string

added in netapp.ontap 21.7.0

The list of aggregate names to exclude when creating a volume.

Requires ONTAP 9.9.1 GA or better.

local_policy

string

The snapshot copy policy for the volume.

scope

string

added in netapp.ontap 21.2.0

whether the top level name identifies a single LUN or a LUN group (application).

By default, the module will try to make the right choice, but can report extra warnings.

Setting scope to ‘application’ is required to convert an existing volume to a smart container.

The module reports an error when ‘lun’ or ‘application’ is used and the desired action cannot be completed.

The module issues warnings when the default ‘auto’ is used, and there is ambiguity regarding the desired actions.

Notes

Note
