Hi,

trying to use ansible to create fc target for a vserver but no luck, playbook below , the error is fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Error: the python NetApp-Lib module is required. Import error: No module named 'netapp_lib'"}

not sure what is missing, any idea?

- hosts: localhost
vars:
netapp_hostname: cluster01
netapp_username: svmadmin
vars_prompt:
- name: netapp_password
prompt: "Please enter Netapp password (hidden from output)"

Error message clearly says NetApp-Lib package is required.

https://pypi.org/project/netapp-lib/

Hi, the error is actually generic and meaningless, the package is installed for sure
