Synopsis
Retrieve information about SAN Connectivity Policies and their associated vHBAs from Cisco Intersight.
Query policies by organization, policy name, or filter vHBAs by name patterns.
Returns structured data combining policy metadata with detailed vHBA configurations.
Supports filtering by organization, policy name, and vHBA name.
If no filters are provided, all SAN Connectivity Policies and their vHBAs will be returned.
Returns structured data with both policy information and associated vHBA details.
Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
|---|---|
Public API Key ID associated with the private key. If not set, the value of the INTERSIGHT_API_KEY_ID environment variable is used. |
|
Filename (absolute path) or string of PEM formatted private key data to be used for Intersight API authentication. If a string is used, Ansible vault should be used to encrypt string data. Ex. ansible-vault encrypt_string --vault-id tme@/Users/dsoper/Documents/vault_password_file ‘-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY----- <your private key data> -----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----’ If not set, the value of the INTERSIGHT_API_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable is used. |
|
URI used to access the Intersight API. If not set, the value of the INTERSIGHT_API_URI environment variable is used. Default: |
|
The exact name of the SAN Connectivity Policy to retrieve information from. When specified, only the matching policy and its vHBAs will be returned. Can be combined with vhba_name filter to get specific vHBAs from a specific policy. |
|
The name of the organization to filter SAN Connectivity Policies by. Use ‘default’ for the default organization. When specified, only policies from this organization will be returned. |
|
If Choices:
|
|
Boolean control for verifying the api_uri TLS certificate Choices:
|
|
Filter vHBAs by name within the policies. Can be used with or without policy name filtering. Supports exact matching (e.g., “vhba-a” will match only “vhba-a”). When combined with policy name, filters vHBAs within that specific policy. |
