ansible module na_ontap_volume_efficiency does not work without /vol namespace present on vserver

Zbg — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:55:12 GMT

I have tried to use na_ontap_volume_efficiency ansible module.

it looks like module require path to volume being provided in a format: /vol/volume

This is a problem since not all vservers are configured with /vol namespace

is there an alternative method of providing volume to the module ?

or maybe other modules could be used to enable volume efficiency ?

Error when we omit /vol:

"msg": "calling: private/cli/volume/efficiency: got {'message': '\"/test_volume\" is an invalid value for field \"path\" (</vol/volume>)', 'code': '2', 'target': 'path'}.

Error when we include it:

{"changed": false, "msg": "Error enabling storage efficiency for path /vol/test_volume on vserver test_vserver as the path provided does not exist."}
