Parameters

Parameter

Comments

api_key_id

string / required

Public API Key ID associated with the private key.

If not set, the value of the INTERSIGHT_API_KEY_ID environment variable is used.

api_private_key

path / required

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.

api_uri

string

URI used to access the Intersight API.

If not set, the value of the INTERSIGHT_API_URI environment variable is used.

Default: "https://intersight.com/api/v1"

description

aliases: descr

string

The user-defined description of the UUID Pool.

Description can contain letters(a-z, A-Z), numbers(0-9), hyphen(-), period(.), colon(:), or an underscore(_).

name

string / required

The name assigned to the UUID Pool.

The name must be between 1 and 62 alphanumeric characters, allowing special characters :-_.

organization

string

The name of the Organization this resource is assigned to.

Profiles, Policies, and Pools that are created within a Custom Organization are applicable only to devices in the same Organization.

Default: "default"

prefix

string

The UUID prefix used for all UUID suffix blocks.

UUID must be in uppercase in order to support idempotency.

The prefix must be in the format XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX (8-4-4) where X is a hexadecimal character (0-9, A-F).

This prefix will be combined with the suffix blocks to form complete UUIDs.

Required for state=present

state

string

If present, will verify the resource is present and will create if needed.

If absent, will verify the resource is absent and will delete if needed.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

tags

list / elements=dictionary

List of tags in Key:<user-defined key> Value:<user-defined value> format.

use_proxy

boolean

If no, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

uuid_suffix_blocks

list / elements=dictionary

List of UUID suffix blocks that define the range of UUIDs available in the pool.

Each block defines a starting suffix and the number of consecutive UUIDs in that block.

Required for state=present

from

string

The starting UUID suffix for this block.

UUID must be in uppercase in order to support idempotency.

The suffix must be in the format XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX (4-12) where X is a hexadecimal character (0-9, A-F).

This suffix will be combined with the pool prefix to form complete UUIDs.

size

integer

The number of consecutive UUIDs in this block.

Must be a positive integer representing how many UUIDs are available starting from the ‘from’ suffix.

validate_certs

boolean

Boolean control for verifying the api_uri TLS certificate

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)
