Note

This plugin is part of the netapp_eseries.santricity collection (version 1.2.13).

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_eseries.santricity.

To use it in a playbook, specify: netapp_eseries.santricity.netapp_e_mgmt_interface.

Synopsis

  • Configure the E-Series management interfaces

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
address
string
The IPv4 address to assign to the interface.
Should be specified in xx.xx.xx.xx form.
Mutually exclusive with config_method=dhcp
api_password
string / required
The password to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.
api_url
string / required
The url to the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API. Example https://prod-1.wahoo.acme.com/devmgr/v2
api_username
string / required
The username to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.
channel
integer
The port to modify the configuration for.
The channel represents the port number (typically from left to right on the controller), beginning with a value of 1.
Mutually exclusive with name.
config_method
string
    Choices:
  • dhcp
  • static
The configuration method type to use for network interface ports.
dhcp is mutually exclusive with address, subnet_mask, and gateway.
controller
string / required
    Choices:
  • A
  • B
The controller that owns the port you want to configure.
Controller names are represented alphabetically, with the first controller as A, the second as B, and so on.
Current hardware models have either 1 or 2 available controllers, but that is not a guaranteed hard limitation and could change in the future.
dns_address
string
Primary IPv4 DNS server address
dns_address_backup
string
Backup IPv4 DNS server address
Queried when primary DNS server fails
dns_config_method
string
    Choices:
  • dhcp
  • static
The configuration method type to use for DNS services.
dhcp is mutually exclusive with dns_address, and dns_address_backup.
gateway
string
The IPv4 gateway address to utilize for the interface.
Should be specified in xx.xx.xx.xx form.
Mutually exclusive with config_method=dhcp
log_path
string
A local path to a file to be used for debug logging
name
string
The port to modify the configuration for.
The list of choices is not necessarily comprehensive. It depends on the number of ports that are present in the system.
The name represents the port number (typically from left to right on the controller), beginning with a value of 1.
Mutually exclusive with channel.

aliases: port, iface
ntp_address
string
Primary IPv4 NTP server address
ntp_address_backup
string
Backup IPv4 NTP server address
Queried when primary NTP server fails
ntp_config_method
string
    Choices:
  • disable
  • dhcp
  • static
The configuration method type to use for NTP services.
disable is mutually exclusive with ntp_address and ntp_address_backup.
dhcp is mutually exclusive with ntp_address and ntp_address_backup.
ssh
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Enable ssh access to the controller for debug purposes.
This is a controller-level setting.
rlogin/telnet will be enabled for ancient equipment where ssh is not available.
ssid
string
Default:
1
The ID of the array to manage. This value must be unique for each array.
state
string
    Choices:
  • enable
  • disable
Enable or disable IPv4 network interface configuration.
Either IPv4 or IPv6 must be enabled otherwise error will occur.
Only required when enabling or disabling IPv4 network interface

aliases: enable_interface
subnet_mask
string
The subnet mask to utilize for the interface.
Should be specified in xx.xx.xx.xx form.
Mutually exclusive with config_method=dhcp
validate_certs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
Should https certificates be validated?

Notes

Note

  • Check mode is supported.
  • The interface settings are applied synchronously, but changes to the interface itself (receiving a new IP address via dhcp, etc), can take seconds or minutes longer to take effect.
  • Known issue: Changes specifically to down ports will result in a failure. However, this may not be the case in up coming NetApp E-Series firmware releases (released after firmware version 11.40.2).
  • 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.

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key Returned Description
enabled
boolean
on success
Indicates whether IPv4 connectivity has been enabled or disabled.
This does not necessarily indicate connectivity. If dhcp was enabled absent a dhcp server, for instance, it is unlikely that the configuration will actually be valid.

Sample:
True
msg
string
on success
Success message

Sample:
The interface settings have been updated.
