Synopsis

Create/Modify/Delete efficiency policies (sis policies)

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;’

Parameters

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.
changelog_threshold_percent integer added in 19.11.0 of netapp.ontap		Specifies the percentage at which the changelog will be processed for a threshold type of policy, tested once each hour.
comment string		A brief description of the policy.
duration string		The duration in hours for which the scheduled efficiency operation should run. After this time expires, the efficiency operation will be stopped even if the operation is incomplete. If '-' is specified as the duration, the efficiency operation will run till it completes. Otherwise, the duration has to be an integer greater than 0. By default, the operation runs till it completes.
enabled boolean	no yes	If the value is true, the efficiency policy is active in this cluster. If the value is false this policy will not be activated by the schedulers and hence will be inactive.
feature_flags dictionary added in 20.5.0 of netapp.ontap		Enable or disable a new feature. This can be used to enable an experimental feature or disable a new feature that breaks backward compatibility. Supported keys and values are subject to change without notice. Unknown keys are ignored.
hostname string / required		The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.
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.
key_filepath string added in 20.6.0 of netapp.ontap		path to SSL client key file.
ontapi integer		The ontap api version to use
password string		Password for the specified user. aliases: pass
policy_name string / required		the name of the efficiency policy
policy_type string	threshold scheduled	The policy type reflects the reason a volume using this policy will start processing a changelog. (Changelog processing is identifying and eliminating duplicate blocks which were written since the changelog was last processed.) threshold Changelog processing occurs once the changelog reaches a certain percent full. scheduled Changelog processing will be triggered by time.
qos_policy string	background best_effort	QoS policy for the efficiency operation. background efficiency operation will run in background with minimal or no impact on data serving client operations, best-effort efficiency operations may have some impact on data serving client operations.
schedule string		Cron type job schedule name. When the associated policy is set on a volume, the efficiency operation will be triggered for the volume on this schedule. These schedules can be created using the na_ontap_job_schedule module
state string	present ← absent	Whether the specified efficiency policy should exist or not.
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 / required		Name of the vserver to use.

Notes

Note

The modules prefixed with na\_ontap are built to support the ONTAP storage platform.
