Synopsis
- Create/Delete/Rename Igroups and Modify initiators belonging to an igroup
 
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- Ansible 2.9
 - Python3 netapp-lib (2018.11.13) or later. Install using ‘pip install netapp-lib’
 - netapp-lib 2020.3.12 is strongly recommended as it provides better error reporting for connection issues.
 - 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.
 - To enable http on the cluster you must run the following commands ‘set -privilege advanced;’ ‘system services web modify -http-enabled true;’
