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_info.
New in netapp.ontap 2.9.0
Synopsis
This module allows you to gather various information about ONTAP configuration
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
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.
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.

Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
|---|---|
path to SSL client cert file (.pem). not supported with python 2.6. |
|
By default, this module fails on the first error. This option allows to provide a list of errors that are not failing the module. Errors in the list are reported in the output, under the related info element, as an “error” entry. Possible values are always, never, missing_vserver_api_error, rpc_error, other_error. missing_vserver_api_error - most likely the API is available at cluster level but not vserver level. rpc_error - some queries are failing because the node cannot reach another node in the cluster. key_error - a query is failing because the returned data does not contain an expected key. for key errors, make sure to report this in Discord. It may be a change in a new ONTAP version. other_error - anything not in the above list. always will continue on any error, never will fail on any error, they cannot be used with any other keyword. Default: |
|
Advanced feature requiring to understand ZAPI internals. Allows to request a specific attribute that is not returned by default, or to limit the returned attributes. A dictionary for the zapi desired-attributes element. An XML tag <tag>value</tag> is a dictionary with tag as the key. Value can be another dictionary, a list of dictionaries, a string, or nothing. eg <tag/> is represented as tag: Only a single subset can be called at a time if this option is set. It is the caller responsibity to make sure key attributes are present in the right position. The module will error out if any key attribute is missing. |
|
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. |

Values can also be used with an initial nvme is supported with ONTAP 9.4 onwards. use “help” to get a list of supported information for your system. with lun_info, serial_hex and naa_id are computed when serial_number is present. Default: |
|
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. |
|
Maximum number of records returned in a single ZAPI call. Valid range is [1..2^32-1]. This parameter controls internal behavior of this module. Default: |
|
The ontap api version to use |
|
Password for the specified user. |
|
Advanced feature requiring to understand ZAPI internals. Allows to specify which objects to return. A dictionary for the zapi query element. An XML tag <tag>value</tag> is a dictionary with tag as the key. Value can be another dictionary, a list of dictionaries, a string, or nothing. eg <tag/> is represented as tag: Only a single subset can be called at a time if this option is set. |
|
deprecated as of 21.1.0. this option was ignored and continues to be ignored. |
|
Boolean flag to control return all attributes of the module info or only the names. If true, only names are returned. Choices:
|
|
By default, - in the returned dictionary keys are translated to _. If set to true, the translation is disabled. Choices:
|
|
This module only supports ZAPI and can not be swtiched to 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 always use ZAPI. 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:
|
|
Required options for volume_move_target_aggr_info |
|
Volume name to get target aggr info for |
|
vserver the Volume lives on |
|
If present, ‘vserver tunneling’ will limit the output to the vserver scope. Note that not all subsets are supported on a vserver, and ‘all’ will trigger an error. |
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;’
