Ansible Playbook written for NetApp customer

ansible_netapp

This repository is a collection of playbooks written for a NetApp customer. Currently, these are not roles but they will eventually move to when I have time and with your contribution ;)

Repository Structure

The structure of the repository looks like this when cloned:

playbook-netapp
|D---dev
    |D------inputs
    |D------sandbox
    |D------tasks
    |D------templates
    |D------vars
    |F---ntap_decomm.yml
    |F---ntap_provision.yml
|D---prod

• dev: directory containing all the dev environment
• dev/inputs: contains files about user inputs like name, size, ...
• dev/sandbox: old playbooks to be converted
• dev/tasks: playbook files containing one tasks only to be reused with a master playbook
• dev/templates: template to use to create a volume, lun, nfs export, smb share
• dev/vars: contains inventory files
• prod: directory containing production ready playbooks

Note: if you include credentials in the inventory file, it is strongly adviced to encrypt the file for obvious security reasons.

Playbook structure & usage

In order to make it as generic as possible and reusable at will, there is generic playbooks including several standalone tasks loaded dynamically depending on the content of the input file.

Example:

• ntap_provision.yml is a generic playbook To run the playbook, the following needs to be done:
• Copy and/or modify vars/cluster.yml to match your environment
• Copy one of input template files from the templates folder to the inputs folder like: cp template/nas_nfs.yml inputs/req123456.yml where req123456 could be the ticket reference number
• Modify inputs/req123456.yml to the provisioning needs
• Run ansible-playbook -e "input=req123456" -C to perform a playbook check and if ok, remove -C
