Synopsis

  • Run cli commands on ONTAP over SSH using paramiko.
  • Output is returned in stdout and stderr, and also as stdout_lines, stdout_lines_filtered, stderr_lines.
  • Note that the module can succeed even though the command failed. You need to analyze stdout and check the results.
  • If the SSH host key is unknown and accepted, warnings is updated.
  • Options related to ZAPI or REST APIs are ignored.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • 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.
  • Ansible 2.6
  • Ansible 2.9 or later is strongly recommended as it enables the new collection delivery system.
  • Python2 netapp-lib (2017.10.30) or later. Install using ‘pip install netapp-lib’
  • 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.
  • To enable http on the cluster you must run the following commands ‘set -privilege advanced;’ ‘system services web modify -http-enabled true;’
