Parameters

Parameter	Comments
api_password string / required	The password to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.
api_url string / required	The url to the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API. Example https://prod-1.wahoo.acme.com:8443/devmgr/v2
api_username string / required	The username to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.
force_port boolean	Allow ports that are already assigned to be re-assigned to your current host Choices: false ← (default) true
host_type aliases: host_type_index string	Host type includes operating system and multipath considerations. If not specified, the default host type will be utilized. Default host type can be set using netapp_eseries.santricity.na_santricity_global. For storage array specific options see netapp_eseries.santricity.na_santricity_facts. All values are case-insensitive. AIX MPIO - The Advanced Interactive Executive (AIX) OS and the native MPIO driver AVT 4M - Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) proprietary multipath driver HP-UX - The HP-UX OS with native multipath driver Linux ATTO - The Linux OS and the ATTO Technology, Inc. driver (must use ATTO FC HBAs) Linux DM-MP - The Linux OS and the native DM-MP driver Linux Pathmanager - The Linux OS and the SGI proprietary multipath driver Mac - The Mac OS and the ATTO Technology, Inc. driver ONTAP - FlexArray Solaris 11 or later - The Solaris 11 or later OS and the native MPxIO driver Solaris 10 or earlier - The Solaris 10 or earlier OS and the native MPxIO driver SVC - IBM SAN Volume Controller VMware - ESXi OS Windows - Windows Server OS and Windows MPIO with a DSM driver Windows Clustered - Clustered Windows Server OS and Windows MPIO with a DSM driver Windows ATTO - Windows OS and the ATTO Technology, Inc. driver
name aliases: label string / required	If the host doesn’t yet exist, the label/name to assign at creation time. If the hosts already exists, this will be used to uniquely identify the host to make any required changes
ports list / elements=dictionary	A list of host ports you wish to associate with the host. Host ports are uniquely identified by their WWN or IQN. Their assignments to a particular host are uniquely identified by a label and these must be unique.
label string / required	A unique label to assign to this port assignment.
port string / required	The WWN or IQN of the hostPort to assign to this port definition.
type string / required	The interface type of the port to define. Acceptable choices depend on the capabilities of the target hardware/software platform. Choices: "iscsi" "sas" "fc" "ib" "nvmeof"
ssid string	The ID of the array to manage. This value must be unique for each array. Default: "1"
state string	Set to absent to remove an existing host Set to present to modify or create a new host definition Choices: "absent" "present" ← (default)
validate_certs boolean	Should https certificates be validated? Choices: false true ← (default)

Notes

Note

• The E-Series Ansible modules require either an instance of the Web Services Proxy (WSP), to be available to manage the storage-system, or an E-Series storage-system that supports the Embedded Web Services API.

• Embedded Web Services is currently available on the E2800, E5700, EF570, and newer hardware models.

• netapp_eseries.santricity.netapp_e_storage_system may be utilized for configuring the systems managed by a WSP instance.

Examples

- name: Define or update an existing host named "Host1"
  na_santricity_host:
    ssid: "1"
    api_url: "https://192.168.1.100:8443/devmgr/v2"
    api_username: "admin"
    api_password: "adminpass"
    validate_certs: true
    name: "Host1"
    state: present
    host_type_index: Linux DM-MP
    ports:
      - type: "iscsi"
        label: "PORT_1"
        port: "iqn.1996-04.de.suse:01:56f86f9bd1fe"
      - type: "fc"
        label: "FC_1"
        port: "10:00:FF:7C:FF:FF:FF:01"
      - type: "fc"
        label: "FC_2"
        port: "10:00:FF:7C:FF:FF:FF:00"

- name: Ensure a host named "Host2" doesn"t exist
  na_santricity_host:
    ssid: "1"
    api_url: "https://192.168.1.100:8443/devmgr/v2"
    api_username: "admin"
    api_password: "adminpass"
