Hi, does anyone know which Ansible module I can use to handle file locks? I'm looking through the list but I can't seem to find anything..

Could you give us an example of the command?

#

I only know for sure the one in PowerShell: Get-NcLock

Could it be

This was added in in 21.19.0.

I'm looking at the docs for that one and it seems like that more for the actual time than file locks, am I wrong about that?

#

Another command I think I found is: vserver locks show

#

I see on the rest API protocols/locks (which I think might be it), but the issue is I can't access it using rest API because we are still on 9.8p7

sorry, I read it as c-lock, not clock. But the two locks I see are related to snaplock, or protocols/locks as you just said.

#

For ZAPI, we have na_ontap_info. But there is nothing about lock. The two alternatives with ZAPI are na_ontap_command and na_ontap_zapit. The first one enables you to send a command, but requires admin access.

#

The command would be vserver locks show

#

I was looking at ontap_info for the locks and I thought I was blind for not finding anything about locks, so thanks for confirming, I'm guessing I'll have to use na_ontap_command one then

#

Thank you for helping

If you are on 9.8, it's better to use na_ontap_rest_cli (a GET on vserver/locks should work).
