Hi Netapp Support Team,
I have been trying to use ansible netapp module na_ontap_volume to create volume on Ontap. Tried to scenarios, both failing with different error messages.
Could you please help me with this, don’t what’s going wrong here?
Scenario 1:
[ansible@server ~]$ cat ansible_vol.yaml
hostname: 'x.x.x.x'
username: 'xxxxxx'
password: 'xxxxxxxx'
vserver: 'xxxx_xxx_xxx'
aggr: 'xxxx_xxxxx_xxxx'
vol_name: 'ansibleVol'
[ansible@server ~]$ cat volume_lifecycle.yaml
---

collections:
- netapp.ontap

[ansible@server ~]$ ansible-playbook volume_lifecycle.yaml --extra-vars "@ansible_vol.yaml"
