NetApp network device module

Please note that the device configuration management has been changed as of v0.4.0 of this module. You will therefore need to update your device configuration file if upgrading from a version < 0.4.0.

Table of Contents

Overview

The NetApp network device module is designed to add support for managing NetApp filer configuration using Puppet and its Network Device functionality.

The Netapp network device module has been written and tested against NetApp OnTap 8.0.4 7-mode. However it may well be compatible with other OnTap versions.

Features

The following items are supported:

  • Creation, modification and deletion of volumes, including auto-increment, snapshot schedules and volume options.
  • Creation, modification and deletion of QTrees.
  • Creation, modification and deletion of NFS Exports, including NFS export security.
  • Creation, modification and deletion of users, groups and roles.
  • Creation, modification and deletion of Quotas.
  • Creation of snapmirror relationships.
  • Creation of snapmirror schedules.

Requirements

Since we can not directly install a puppet agent on the NetApp filers, it can either be managed from the Puppet Master server, or through an intermediate proxy system running a puppet agent. The requirement for the proxy system:

  • Puppet 2.7.+
  • NetApp Manageability SDK Ruby libraries

NetApp Manageability SDK

The NetApp Ruby libraries are contained within the NetApp Manageability SDK, currently at v5.0, which is available to download directly from NetApp. Please note you need a NetApp NOW account in order to be able to download the SDK.

Once you have downloaded and extracted the SDK, the following files need to be copied onto your Puppet Master: ../lib/ruby/NetApp > [module dir]/netapp/lib/puppet/util/network_device/netapp/

Once the files have been copied into place on your Puppet Master, a patch needs to be applied to NaServer.rb.
The patch file can be found under files/NaServer.patch.
To apply, change into the netapp module root directory and run:

patch lib/puppet/util/network_device/netapp/NaServer.rb < files/NaServer.patch

This should apply the patch without any errors, as below:

$ patch lib/puppet/util/network_device/netapp/NaServer.rb < files/NaServer.patch
patching file lib/puppet/util/network_device/netapp/NaServer.rb
$

Usage

Device Setup

In order to configure a NetApp network device, the device type should be netapp. You can either configure the device within /etc/puppet/device.conf or, preferrably, create an individual config file for each device within a subfolder. This is preferred as it allows you to run puppet against individual devices, rather than all devices configured...

In order to run puppet against a single device, you can use the following command:

puppet device --deviceconfig /etc/puppet/device/[device].conf

Example configuration /etc/puppet/device/pfiler01.example.com.conf:

[pfiler01.example.com]
  type netapp
  url https://root:secret@pfiler01.example.com

You can also specify a virtual filer you want to operate on: Simply provide the connection information for your physical filer and specify an optional path that represents the name of your virtual filer. Example configuration /etc/puppet/device/vfiler01.example.com.conf:

[vfiler01.example.com]
  type netapp
  url https://root:secret@pfiler01.example.com/vfiler01

NetApp operations

As part of this module, there is a defined type called 'netapp::vqe', which can be used to create a volume, add a qtree and create an NFS export. An example of this is:

netapp::vqe { 'volume_name':
  ensure         => present,
  size           => '1t',
  aggr           => 'aggr2',
  spaceres       => 'volume',
  snapresv       => 20,
  autoincrement  => true,
  persistent     => true
}

This will create a NetApp volume called v_volume_name with a qtree called q_volume_name. The volume will have an initial size of 1 Terabyte in Aggregate aggr2. The space reservation mode will be set to volume, and snapshot space reserve will be set to 20%. The volume will be able to auto increment, and the NFS export will be persistent.

You can also use any of the types individually, or create new defined types as required.

Development

The following section applies to developers of this module only.

Testing

You will need to install the NetApp Manageability SDK Ruby libraries for most of the tests to work. How to obtain these files is detailed in the NetApp Manageability SDK section above.
