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;’

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.

http_port integer		Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port
https boolean	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.

name string / required		Name of the snapshot policy to be managed. The maximum string length is 256 characters.
ontapi integer		The ontap api version to use

prefix list / elements=string added in 19.10.1 of netapp.ontap		Snapshot name prefix for the schedule. Prefix name should be unique within the policy. Cannot set a different prefix to a schedule that has already been assigned to a snapshot policy. Prefix cannot be modifed after schedule has been added.
schedule list / elements=string		Schedule to be added inside the policy.
snapmirror_label list / elements=string added in 2.9.0 of netapp.ontap		SnapMirror label assigned to each schedule inside the policy. Use an empty string () for no label.
state string	present ← absent	If you want to create, modify or delete a snapshot policy.
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	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 added in 2.9.0 of netapp.ontap		The name of the vserver to use. In a multi-tenanted environment, assigning a Snapshot Policy to a vserver will restrict its use to that vserver.
