netapp.ontap.na_ontap_volume module – NetApp ONTAP manage volumes.

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_volume.

New in netapp.ontap 2.6.0

Synopsis

  • Create or destroy or modify volumes on NetApp ONTAP.

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

Choices:

  • "on"

  • "off"

aggr_list

list / elements=string

added in netapp.ontap 2.8.0

an array of names of aggregates to be used for FlexGroup constituents.

aggr_list_multiplier

integer

added in netapp.ontap 2.8.0

The number of times to iterate over the aggregates listed with the aggr_list parameter when creating a FlexGroup.

aggregate_name

string

The name of the aggregate the flexvol should exist on.

atime_update

boolean

added in netapp.ontap 2.8.0

This is an advanced option, the default is True.

If false, prevent the update of inode access times when a file is read.

This value is useful for volumes with extremely high read traffic, since it prevents writes to the inode file for the volume from contending with reads from other files.

This field should be used carefully.

That is, use this field when you know in advance that the correct access time for inodes will not be needed for files on that volume.

This option is supported in REST for ONTAP 9.8 or later with ONTAP collection version 22.8.0 or later.

This should be in the form 9.10 or 9.10.1 with each element being an integer number.

When use_rest is set to auto, this may force a switch to ZAPI based on the version and platform capabilities.

Ignored with ZAPI.

force_restore

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

If this field is set to “true”, the Snapshot copy is restored even if the volume has one or more newer Snapshot copies which are currently used as reference Snapshot copy by SnapMirror. If a restore is done in this situation, this will cause future SnapMirror transfers to fail.

If true, the controller performs additional work at boot and takeover times if it finds that there has been any potential data loss in the volume’s constituents due to an NVRAM failure.

The volume’s constituents would be put in a special state called ‘in-nvfailed-state’ such that protocol access is blocked.

This will cause the client applications to crash and thus prevent access to stale data.

Note

  • supports REST and ZAPI. REST requires ONTAP 9.6 or later. Efficiency with REST requires ONTAP 9.7 or later.

  • REST is enabled when use_rest is set to always.

  • The feature_flag warn_or_fail_on_fabricpool_backend_change controls whether an error is reported when tiering control would require or disallow FabricPool for an existing volume with a different backend. Allowed values are fail, warn, and ignore, and the default is set to fail.

  • snapshot_restore is not idempotent, it always restores.

  • 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;’
