ibm.spectrum_virtualize.ibm_svc_manage_volume module – This module manages standard volumes on IBM Spectrum Virtualize family storage systems

Note

This module is part of the ibm.spectrum_virtualize collection (version 2.0.0).

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 ibm.spectrum_virtualize.

To use it in a playbook, specify: ibm.spectrum_virtualize.ibm_svc_manage_volume.

Note

The ibm.spectrum_virtualize collection has been renamed to ibm.storage_virtualize and will be removed from Ansible 12. The content of ibm.spectrum_virtualize will be replaced by redirects to ibm.storage_virtualize in Ansible 10. If you use content from ibm.spectrum_virtualize, please update FQCNs in your playbooks and roles! When creating new playbooks or roles, directly use content from ibm.storage_virtualize instead.

New in ibm.spectrum_virtualize 1.6.0

Synopsis

• Ansible interface to manage ‘mkvolume’, ‘rmvolume’, and ‘chvdisk’ volume commands.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
buffersize string	Specifies the pool capacity that the volume will reserve as a buffer for thin-provisioned and compressed volumes. Parameter ‘thin’ or ‘compressed’ must be specified to use this parameter. The default buffer size is 2%. thin or compressed is required when using buffersize. Valid when state=present, to create a volume.
cloud_account_name string added in ibm.spectrum_virtualize 1.11.0	Specifies the name of the cloud account name. Valid when enable_cloud_snapshot=true.
clustername string / required	The hostname or management IP of the Spectrum Virtualize storage system.
compressed boolean	Specifies that a compressed volume is to be created. Parameters ‘compressed’ and ‘thin’ are mutually exclusive. Valid when state=present, to create a compressed volume. Choices: false true
deduplicated boolean	Specifies that a deduplicated volume is to be created. Required when state=present, to create a deduplicated volume. Choices: false true
domain string	Domain for the Spectrum Virtualize storage system. Valid when hostname is used for the parameter clustername.
enable_cloud_snapshot boolean added in ibm.spectrum_virtualize 1.11.0	Specify to enable or disable cloud snapshot. Valid when state=present, to modify an existing volume. Choices: false true
iogrp string	Specifies the list of I/O group names. Group names in the list must be separated by using a comma. While creating a new volume, the first I/O group in the list is added as both cached & access I/O group, while remaining I/O groups are added as access I/O groups. This parameter supports update functionality. Valid when state=present, to create or modify a volume.
log_path string	Path of debug log file.
name string / required	Specifies the name to assign to the new volume.
novolumegroup boolean	If specified `True`, the volume is removed from its associated volumegroup. Parameters ‘novolumegroup’ and ‘volumegroup’ are mutually exclusive. Valid when state=present, to modify a volume. Choices: false true
old_name string added in ibm.spectrum_virtualize 1.9.0	Specifies the old name of the volume during renaming. Valid when state=present, to rename an existing volume.
password string	REST API password for the Spectrum Virtualize storage system. The parameters username and password are required if not using token to authenticate a user.
pool string	Specifies the name of the storage pool to use while creating the volume. This parameter is required when state=present, to create a volume.
size string	Defines the size of the volume. This parameter can also be used to resize an existing volume. Required when state=present, to create or modify a volume.
state string / required	Creates or updates (present) or removes (absent) a volume. Choices: "absent" "present"
thin boolean	Specifies that a thin-provisioned volume is to be created. Parameters ‘thin’ and ‘compressed’ are mutually exclusive. Valid when state=present, to create a thin-provisioned volume. Choices: false true
token string	The authentication token to verify a user on the Spectrum Virtualize storage system. To generate a token, use the ibm_svc_auth module.
unit string	Specifies the data units to use with the capacity that is specified by the ‘size’ parameter. size is required when using unit. Choices: "b" "kb" "mb" ← (default) "gb" "tb" "pb"
username string	REST API username for the Spectrum Virtualize storage system. The parameters username and password are required if not using token to authenticate a user.
validate_certs boolean	Validates certification. Choices: false ← (default) true
volumegroup string	Specifies the name of the volumegroup to which the volume is to be added. Parameters ‘volumegroup’ and ‘novolumegroup’ are mutually exclusive. Valid when state=present, to create or modify a volume.
