create_destination option for na_ontap_snapmirror

[willow wasp]

using the na_ontap_snapmirror module to create snapmirrors. wanting to use the create_destination to create DP volume automatically but it errors out if i add the option. if i remove it then it gives error no volume.

- name: Create SnapMirror relationship
  na_ontap_snapmirror:
    source_endpoint:
      path: "{{ item.vserver + ':' + item.volume }}"
      cluster: "{{ clustername }}"
    destination_endpoint:
      path: "{{ item.dest_vserver + ':' + item.volume + '_dest' }}"
      cluster: "{{ destclustername }}"
    policy: "{{ item.protection_policy }}"
    initialize: true
    create_destination:
      enabled: true
      storage_service:
        enabled:  false
        enforce_performance: false
    hostname: "{{ destclusterip }}"
    username: "{{ username }}"
    password: "{{ password }}"
    https: true
    validate_certs: false
  with_items: "{{ mirror_vols }}"

using ONTAP 9.10.1 on both clusters. also tried the playbook that comes straight out of system manager, same error.

whats the netapp.ontap collection version?

Try to use in hostname 'destclustername' instead of 'destclusterip'

[willow wasp]

netapp.ontap 22.3.0

[willow wasp]

tried hostname, same error

it only gives the error when the destination volume doesnt exist and it tries to create. if we create the volume it will create the mirror no problem

error indicates
AttributeError: module 'ansible_collections.netapp.ontap.plugins.module_utils.rest_generic' has no attribute 'check_for_0_or_more_records'\n"

not sure ansible looking at old collection path.

are there more than one ontap collection versions installed?

[willow wasp]

actually yes there is. this would explain some other issues i see regarding versions, just thought the modules were buggy...

/home/nigel/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ansible_collections

Collection Version

---

netapp.ontap 21.24.1

/home/nigel/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections

Collection Version

---

netapp.ontap 22.4.0

that second location was created when i run 'ansible-galaxy collection install --upgrade netapp.ontap'

how do i upgrade the other location or tell ansible to use the new location?

ansible --version
ansible [core 2.13.8]
config file = None
configured module search path = ['/home/nigel/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
ansible python module location = /home/nigel/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ansible
ansible collection location = /home/nigel/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
executable location = /home/nigel/.local/bin/ansible
python version = 3.8.10 (default, Nov 26 2021, 20:14:08) [GCC 9.3.0]
jinja version = 3.1.2
libyaml = True

22.4.0 has issues in snapmirror create😞 .
but the fix will be out soon.

so try 22.3.0 till 22.4.1 comes out.
ansible-galaxy collection install netapp.ontap:22.3.0 -f

if this not adding collection where ansible checks, there is -p flag to install in specific location
ansible-galaxy collection install netapp.ontap:22.3.0 -p /home/nigel/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ansible_collections -f
