Synopsis

  • Enable/disable multi-admin verification (MAV) configuration.

  • Multi-admin verification is not required to enable the feature. However, it is required to disable the feature.

  • Multi-admin verification is required for any modification to be done while multi-admin approval is enabled.

  • Until the pending request gets approved, request info is returned in the module output. Once approved the module needs to be run again to apply the intended updates.

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.

  • netapp-lib only when using ZAPI (install using ‘pip install netapp-lib’), Please note that netapp-lib is deprecated and no longer maintained. Proceed at your own risk.

  • 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.

This is provided as a work-around when the cluster version cannot be read because of permission issues. See https://github.com/ansible-collections/netapp.ontap/wiki/Known-issues.

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

hostname

string / required

The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.

http_port

integer

Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port

https

boolean

Enable and disable https.

Ignored when using REST as only https is supported.

username

aliases: user

string

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://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/authentication/create-svm-user-accounts-task.html.

Two authentication methods are supported

  1. Basic authentication, using username and password.

  2. SSL certificate authentication, using a ssl client cert file, and optionally a private key file.

To use a certificate, the certificate must have been installed in the ONTAP cluster, and cert authentication must have been enabled.

validate_certs

boolean

If set to no, the SSL certificates will not be validated.

This should only set to False used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

Notes

Note

  • Only supported with REST and requires ONTAP 9.11.1 or later.

  • 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;’
