netapp.ontap.na_ontap_cluster module – NetApp ONTAP cluster - create a cluster and add/remove nodes.
Note
This module is part of the netapp.ontap collection (version 22.13.0).
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 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_cluster.
New in netapp.ontap 2.6.0
Synopsis
Create ONTAP cluster.
Add or remove cluster nodes using cluster_ip_address.
Adding a node requires ONTAP 9.3 or better.
Removing a node requires ONTAP 9.4 or better.
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 |
|---|---|
path to SSL client cert file (.pem). not supported with python 2.6. |
|
Certificate used by cluster and node management interfaces for TLS connection requests. Only supported with REST and requires ONTAP 9.10 or later. |
|
Certificate UUID. |
|
Cluster contact, only relevant if performing a modify action. |
|
intra cluster IP address of the node to be added or removed. |
|
Cluster location, only relevant if performing a modify action. |
|
The name of the cluster to manage. |
|
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. |
|
forcibly remove a node that is down and cannot be brought online to remove its shared resources. Choices:
|
|
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 Ignored with ZAPI. |
|
The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance. |
|
Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port |
|
Enable and disable https. Ignored when using REST as only https is supported. Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL. Choices:
|
|
path to SSL client key file. |
|
Name of the node to be added or removed from the cluster. Be aware that when adding a node, ‘-’ are converted to ‘_’ by the ONTAP backend. When creating a cluster, When adding a node using When used to remove a node, |
|
The ontap api version to use |
|
Password for the specified user. |
|
Whether the cluster is a single node cluster. Ignored for 9.3 or older versions. If present, it was observed that ‘Cluster’ interfaces were deleted, whatever the value with ZAPI. Choices:
|
|
Whether the specified cluster should exist (deleting a cluster is not supported). Whether the node identified by its cluster_ip_address should be in the cluster or not. Choices:
|
|
time to wait for cluster creation in seconds. Error out if task is not completed in defined time. if 0, the request is asynchronous. default is set to 3 minutes. Default: |
|
timezone for the cluster. Only supported by REST. |
|
The timezone name must be A geographic region, usually expressed as area/location Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or the difference in hours from GMT A valid alias; that is, a term defined by the standard to refer to a geographic region or GMT A system-specific or other term not associated with a geographic region or GMT full list of supported alias can be found here: https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1155590/html/GUID-D3B8A525-67A2-4BEE-99DB-EF52D6744B5F.html Only supported by REST |
|
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:

Notes
Note
supports REST and ZAPI
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;’
