netapp.ontap.na_ontap_name_mappings module – NetApp ONTAP name mappings

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_name_mappings.

New in netapp.ontap 22.0.0

Synopsis

  • Create/Delete/Modify name mappings for an SVM 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

cert_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client cert file (.pem).

not supported with python 2.6.

client_match

string

Client workstation IP Address which is matched when searching for the pattern.

Example ‘10.254.101.111/28’

Client match value can be in any of the following formats, - As an IPv4 address with a subnet mask expressed as a number of bits; for instance, 10.1.12.0/24 - As an IPv6 address with a subnet mask expressed as a number of bits; for instance, fd20:8b1e:b255:4071::/64 - As an IPv4 address with a network mask; for instance, 10.1.16.0/255.255.255.0 - As a hostname

direction

string / required

Direction in which the name mapping is applied.

The possible values are, krb_unix - Kerberos principal name to UNIX user name win_unix - Windows user name to UNIX user name unix_win - UNIX user name to Windows user name mapping s3_unix - S3 user name to UNIX user name mapping s3_win - S3 user name to Windows user name mapping

s3_unix and s3_win requires ONTAP 9.12.1 or later.

Choices:

  • "krb_unix"

  • "win_unix"

  • "unix_win"

  • "s3_unix"

  • "s3_win"

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.

from_index

integer

If no entry with index is found, it is created by reindexing the entry for from_index.

If no entry is found for index and from_index, an error is reported.

Minimum value is 1 and maximum is 2147483647.

Requires ONTAP version 9.7 or later.

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

index

integer / required

Position in the list of name mappings.

Minimum value is 1 and maximum is 2147483647.

key_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client key file.

ontapi

integer

The ontap api version to use

password

aliases: pass

string

Password for the specified user.

pattern

string

Pattern used to match the name while searching for a name that can be used as a replacement.

The pattern is a UNIX-style regular expression.

Regular expressions are case-insensitive when mapping from Windows to UNIX, and they are case-sensitive for mappings from Kerberos to UNIX and UNIX to Windows.

Minimum length is 1 and maximum length is 256.

Pattern should be unique for each index of vserver.

Example ENGCIFS_AD_USER.

replacement

string

The name that is used as a replacement, if the pattern associated with this entry matches.

Minimum length is 1 and maximum length is 256.

Example unix_user1.

state

string

Whether the specified name mappings 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

  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.

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

Name of the vserver to use.

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;’
