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’

        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.

        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.

        Only applicable for REST. When using ZAPI, the deletion is always synchronous.
        
       
        Deleting a qtree may take time if many files need to be deleted.
        
       
        Set this parameter to 'true' for synchronous execution during delete.
        
       
        Set this parameter to 'false' for asynchronous execution.
        
       
        For asynchronous, execution exits as soon as the request is sent, and the qtree is deleted in background.
