Synopsis
Create/Delete/Update/Initialize/Break/Resync/Resume SnapMirror volume/vserver relationships for ONTAP/ONTAP
This includes SVM replication, aka vserver DR
Create/Delete/Update/Initialize SnapMirror volume relationship between ElementSW and ONTAP
Modify schedule for a SnapMirror relationship for ONTAP/ONTAP and ElementSW/ONTAP
Pre-requisite for ElementSW to ONTAP relationship or vice-versa is an established SnapMirror endpoint for ONTAP cluster with ElementSW UI
Pre-requisite for ElementSW to ONTAP relationship or vice-versa is to have SnapMirror enabled in the ElementSW volume
For creating a SnapMirror ElementSW/ONTAP relationship, an existing ONTAP/ElementSW relationship should be present
Performs resync if the
relationship_state=activeand the current mirror state of the snapmirror relationship is broken-offPerforms resume if the
relationship_state=active, the current snapmirror relationship status is quiesced and mirror state is snapmirroredPerforms restore if the
relationship_type=restoreand all other operations will not be performed during this task
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

DEPRECATED - please use Source hostname or management IP address for ONTAP or ElementSW cluster. If present, when state is absent, the relationship is released at the source before being deleted at destination. It is recommended to always release before deleting, so make sure this parameter is present if the source hostname is known. |
|
DEPRECATED - please use Source password for ONTAP or ElementSW cluster. Optional if this is same as destination password. |
|
Specifies the source endpoint of the SnapMirror relationship. If the source is an ONTAP volume, format should be <[vserver:][volume]> or <[[cluster:]//vserver/]volume> If the source is an ElementSW volume, format should be <[Element_SVIP]:/lun/[Element_VOLUME_ID]> If the source is an ElementSW volume, the volume should have SnapMirror enabled. Deprecated as of 21.2.0, use source_endpoint and path. |
|
Specifies the Snapshot from the source to be restored. |
|
DEPRECATED - please use Source username for ONTAP or ElementSW cluster. Optional if this is same as destination username. |
|
Specifies the name of the source volume for the SnapMirror. Deprecated as of 21.2.0, use source_endpoint and path. |
|
Name of the source vserver for the SnapMirror. Deprecated as of 21.2.0, use source_endpoint and path, or svm. |

|
How long to wait when a transfer is in progress (after initializing for instance). Unit is seconds. Default: |
|
Specifies whether to update the destination endpoint of the SnapMirror relationship only if the relationship is already present and active. Default is True. 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:
|
|
The relationship is found based on the destination as it is unique. By default, the source information is verified and an error is reported if there is a mismatch. This would mean the destination is already used by another relationship. The check accounts for a local vserver name that may be different from the remote vserver name. This may be disabled in case the check is too strict, to unconditionally delete a realtionship for instance. Choices:
|
Notes
Note
supports REST and ZAPI.
supports check_mode.
restore is not idempotent.
snapmirror runs on the destination for most operations, peer_options identify the source cluster.
ONTAP supports either username/password or a SSL certificate for authentication.
ElementSW only supports username/password for authentication.
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;’
