Synopsis

Certain E-Series systems have the capability to send email notifications on potentially critical events.
This module will allow the owner of the system to specify email recipients for these messages.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_password - / required		The password to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.
api_url - / 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 - / required		The username to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.
contact -		Allows the owner to specify some free-form contact information to be included in the emails. This is typically utilized to provide a contact phone number.
log_path -		Path to a file on the Ansible control node to be used for debug logging
recipients -		The email addresses that will receive the email notifications. Required when state=enabled.
sender -		This is the sender that the recipient will see. It doesn't necessarily need to be a valid email account. Required when state=enabled.
server -		A fully qualified domain name, IPv4 address, or IPv6 address of a mail server. To use a fully qualified domain name, you must configure a DNS server on both controllers using netapp_e_mgmt_interface. - Required when state=enabled.
ssid -	Default: 1	The ID of the array to manage. This value must be unique for each array.
state -	Choices: enabled ← disabled	Enable/disable the sending of email-based alerts.
test boolean	Choices: no ← yes	When a change is detected in the configuration, a test email will be sent. This may take a few minutes to process. Only applicable if state=enabled.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Should https certificates be validated?

Notes

Note

Check mode is supported.
Alertable messages are a subset of messages shown by the Major Event Log (MEL), of the storage-system. Examples of alertable messages include drive failures, failed controllers, loss of redundancy, and other warning/critical events.
This API is currently only supported with the Embedded Web Services API v2.0 and higher.
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.
netapp_e_storage_system may be utilized for configuring the systems managed by a WSP instance.
