## Synopsis

- Allows for the creation, removal and updating of Asynchronous Mirror Groups for NetApp E-series storage arrays

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
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.
interfaceType - | Choices: iscsi fibre | The intended protocol to use if both Fibre and iSCSI are available.
manualSync boolean | Choices: no ← yes | Setting this to true will cause other synchronization values to be ignored
name - / required |  | The name of the async array you wish to target, or create. If `state` is present and the name isn't found, it will attempt to create.
recoveryWarnThresholdMinutes - | Default: 20 | Recovery point warning threshold (minutes). The user will be warned when the age of the last good failures point exceeds this value
repoUtilizationWarnThreshold - | Default: 80 | Recovery point warning threshold
secondaryArrayId - / required |  | The ID of the secondary array to be used in mirroring process
ssid string | Default: 1 | The ID of the array to manage. This value must be unique for each array.
state - / required | Choices: absent present | A `state` of present will either create or update the async mirror group. A `state` of absent will remove the async mirror group.
syncIntervalMinutes - | Default: 10 | The synchronization interval in minutes
syncWarnThresholdMinutes - | Default: 10 | The threshold (in minutes) for notifying the user that periodic synchronization has taken too long to complete.
validate_certs boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Should https certificates be validated?

## Notes

Note

- 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.

## Examples

    - name: AMG removal
      na_eseries_amg:
        state: absent
        ssid: "{{ ssid }}"
        secondaryArrayId: "{{amg_secondaryArrayId}}"
        api_url: "{{ netapp_api_url }}"
        api_username: "{{ netapp_api_username }}"
        api_password: "{{ netapp_api_password }}"
        new_name: "{{amg_array_name}}"
        name: "{{amg_name}}"
      when: amg_create

    - name: AMG create
      netapp_e_amg:
        state: present
        ssid: "{{ ssid }}"
        secondaryArrayId: "{{amg_secondaryArrayId}}"
        api_url: "{{ netapp_api_url }}"
        api_username: "{{ netapp_api_username }}"
        api_password: "{{ netapp_api_password }}"
        new_name: "{{amg_array_name}}"
        name: "{{amg_name}}"
      when: amg_create
