netapp.ontap.na_ontap_interface – NetApp ONTAP LIF configuration
Note
This plugin is part of the netapp.ontap collection (version 21.12.0).
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 netapp.ontap.
To use it in a playbook, specify: netapp.ontap.na_ontap_interface.
New in version 2.6.0: of netapp.ontap
Synopsis
- Creating / deleting and modifying the LIF.
 
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;’

        list / elements=string
         | 
      
        
        Specifies the list of data protocols configured on the LIF. By default, the values in this element are nfs, cifs and fcache.
        
       
        Other supported protocols are iscsi and fcp. A LIF can be configured to not support any data protocols by specifying 'none'.
        
       
        Protocol values of none, iscsi, fc-nvme or fcp can't be combined with any other data protocol(s).
        
       
        address, netmask and firewall_policy parameters are not supported for 'fc-nvme' option.
         |

         | 
      
        
        Specifies the role of the LIF.
        
       
        When setting role as "intercluster" or "cluster", setting protocol is not supported.
        
       
        When creating a "cluster" role, the node name will appear as the prefix in the name of LIF.
        
       
        For example, if the specified name is clif and node name is node1, the LIF name appears in the ONTAP as node1_clif.
        
       
        Possible values are 'undef', 'cluster', 'data', 'node-mgmt', 'intercluster', 'cluster-mgmt'.
        
       
        Required when  state=present unless service_policy is present and ONTAP version is 9.8 or better.
        | 
     |
| service_policy
        
        string
        
       
        added in 20.4.0 of netapp.ontap
         | 
      
        
        Starting with ONTAP 9.5, you can configure LIF service policies to identify a single service or a list of services that will use a LIF.
        
       
        In ONTAP 9.5, you can assign service policies only for LIFs in the admin SVM.
        
       
        In ONTAP 9.6, you can additionally assign service policies for LIFs in the data SVMs.
        
       
        When you specify a service policy for a LIF, you need not specify the data protocol and role for the LIF.
        
       
        NOTE that role is still required because of a ZAPI issue. This limitation is removed in ONTAP 9.8.
        
       
        Creating LIFs by specifying the role and data protocols is also supported.
         | 
     |
| state
        
        string
         |

        Subnet where the interface address is allocated from.
        
       
        If the option is not used, the IP address will need to be provided by the administrator during configuration.
         | 
     |
| use_rest
        
        string
         | 
      Default: 
        "auto"
         | 
      
        
        REST API if supported by the target system for all the resources and attributes the module requires. Otherwise will revert to ZAPI.
        
       
        always -- will always use the REST API
        
       
        never -- will always use the ZAPI
        
       
        auto -- will try to use the REST Api
         | 
     
| username
        
        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://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/nmsdk/9.4/.
        
       
        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.
        
       aliases: user  |

| 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.
