Notes
Note
SMB shares, NFS exports, and snapshots associated with filesystem need to be deleted prior to deleting a filesystem.
The quota_config parameter can be used to update default hard limit and soft limit values to limit the maximum space that can be used. By default they both are set to 0 during filesystem creation which means unlimited.
The check_mode is not supported.
The modules present in this collection named as ‘dellemc.unity’ are built to support the Dell Unity storage platform.
