        string / required

         | 
     |
| automatic_load_balancing
        
        string
         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        Enable automatic load balancing to allow incoming traffic from the hosts to be dynamically managed and balanced across both controllers.
        
       
        Automatic load balancing requires host connectivity reporting to be enabled.
         | 
     
| cache_block_size
        
        integer
         | 
      
        
        Size of the cache's block size.
        
       
        All volumes on the storage system share the same cache space; therefore, the volumes can have only one cache block size.
        
       
        See M(na_santricity_facts) for available sizes.
         | 
     |
| cache_flush_threshold
        
        integer
         | 
      
        
        This is the percentage threshold of the amount of unwritten data that is allowed to remain on the storage array's cache before flushing.
         | 
     |
| default_host_type
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        Default host type for the storage system.
        
       
        Either one of the following names can be specified, Linux DM-MP, VMWare, Windows, Windows Clustered, or a host type index which can be found in M(na_santricity_facts)
         | 
     |
| host_connectivity_reporting
        
        string
         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        Enable host connectivity reporting to allow host connections to be monitored for connection and multipath driver problems.
        
       
        When M(automatic_load_balancing==enabled) then M(host_connectivity_reporting) must be enabled
         | 
     
| login_banner_message
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        Text message that appears prior to the login page.
        
       
        login_banner_message=="" will delete any existing banner message.
         | 
     |
| name
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        Set the name of the E-Series storage-system
        
       
        This label/name doesn't have to be unique.
        
       
        May be up to 30 characters in length.
        
       aliases: label  | 
     |
| ssid
        
        string
         | 
      Default: 
        1
         | 
      
        
        The ID of the array to manage. This value must be unique for each array.
         | 
     
| validate_certs
        
        boolean
         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        Should https certificates be validated?

Notes
Note
- Check mode is supported.
 - This module requires Web Services API v1.3 or newer.
 - 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.
 - M(netapp_e_storage_system) may be utilized for configuring the systems managed by a WSP instance.
