netapp.ontap.na_ontap_zapit – NetApp ONTAP Run any ZAPI on ONTAP

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_zapit.

New in version 20.4.0: of netapp.ontap

Synopsis

  • Call a ZAPI on ONTAP.
  • Cluster ZAPIs are run using a cluster admin account.
  • Vserver ZAPIs can be run using a vsadmin account or using vserver tunneling (cluster admin with vserver option).
  • In case of success, a json dictionary is returned as response.
  • In case of a ZAPI error, status, errno, reason are set to help with diagnosing the issue,
  • and the call is reported as an error (‘failed’).
  • Other errors (eg connection issues) are reported as Ansible error.

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;’

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
cert_filepath
string
added in 20.6.0 of netapp.ontap
path to SSL client cert file (.pem).
not supported with python 2.6.
feature_flags
dictionary
added in 20.5.0 of netapp.ontap
Enable or disable a new feature.
This can be used to enable an experimental feature or disable a new feature that breaks backward compatibility.
Supported keys and values are subject to change without notice. Unknown keys are ignored.
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
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Enable and disable https.
Ignored when using REST as only https is supported.
Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL.
key_filepath
string
added in 20.6.0 of netapp.ontap
path to SSL client key file.
ontapi
integer
The ontap api version to use
password
string
Password for the specified user.

aliases: pass
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
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
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.
vserver
string
if provided, forces vserver tunneling. username identifies a cluster admin account.
zapi
dictionary / required
A dictionary for the zapi and arguments.
An XML tag <tag>value</tag> is a dictionary with tag as the key.
Value can be another dictionary, a list of dictionaries, a string, or nothing.
eg <tag/> is represented as tag:
A single zapi can be called at a time. Ansible warns if duplicate keys are found and only uses the last entry.

Notes

Note

  • The modules prefixed with na_ontap are built to support the ONTAP storage platform.
