ibm.spectrum_virtualize.ibm_svc_manage_cv module – This module manages the change volume for a given volume on IBM Spectrum Virtualize family storage systems

Note

This module is part of the ibm.spectrum_virtualize collection (version 2.0.0).

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 ibm.spectrum_virtualize.

To use it in a playbook, specify: ibm.spectrum_virtualize.ibm_svc_manage_cv.

Note

The ibm.spectrum_virtualize collection has been renamed to ibm.storage_virtualize and will eventually be removed from Ansible. If you use content from ibm.spectrum_virtualize, please update FQCNs in your playbooks and roles! When creating new playbooks or roles, directly use content from ibm.storage_virtualize instead.

New in ibm.spectrum_virtualize 1.3.0

Synopsis

  • Ansible interface to manage the change volume in remote copy replication on IBM Spectrum Virtualize family storage systems.

Parameters

Required when state=present, to create the change volume.

clustername

string / required

The hostname or management IP of the Spectrum Virtualize storage system.

cvname

string / required

Specifies the name to assign to the master or auxiliary change volume.

domain

string

Domain for the Spectrum Virtualize storage system.

Valid when hostname is used for the parameter clustername.

ismaster

boolean

Specifies whether the change volume is being (dis)associated with master cluster.

Required when the change volume is being associated or disassociated from the master cluster.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

log_path

string

Path of debug log file.

password

string
