Synopsis

• Call a REST API on ONTAP.
• Cluster REST API are run using a cluster admin account.
• Vserver REST API can be run using a vsadmin account or using vserver tunneling (cluster admin with vserver_ options).
• In case of success, a json dictionary is returned as response.
• In case of a REST API error, status_code, error_code, error_message 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;’
