na_ontap_rest_cli

[limpid geyser]

Hey guys I am trying to use na_ontap_rest_cli to run the command 'storage failover show', it is printing out only the node name but no other info.(As the image show)
Do I need to add any params to get the failover info?
I use this module because I don't see the related REST CLI in the rest api.
Here is my Ansible code:

• name: "Getting storage failover info for {{ cluster_hostname }}"
  netapp.ontap.na_ontap_rest_cli:
  hostname: "{{ cluster_hostname }}"
  username: "{{ cluster_username }}"
  password: "{{ cluster_password }}"
  validate_certs: false
  command: 'storage/failover'
  verb: 'GET'
  register: storage_failover
• name: ... Return storage failover data
  debug:
  msg: "{{ storage_failover }}"

You can specifiy which fields to return.
params: fields: node,mode,partner-name

@long thistle This doesn't work

Still seeing no response

Fields that don't have values won't be returned. Everything else works like charm for me. Tested with ONTAP simulator running 9.11.1

`- netapp.ontap.na_ontap_rest_cli:
<<: *login
command: 'storage/failover'
verb: 'GET'
params:
fields: node,mode,ha-type,nvramid,state-description
register:
result

• debug:
  var: result`

Result
ok: [localhost] => { "result": { "ansible_facts": { "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/libexec/platform-python" }, "changed": false, "failed": false, "msg": { "num_records": 1, "records": [ { "ha_type": "none", "mode": "non_ha", "node": "cluster-01", "nvramid": 4082368511, "state_description": "Non-HA mode" } ] } } }

Does this "params: fields" exist for other modules, or is it only for na_ontap_rest_cli?
I had another question out there about this exact thing. Would be nice to have that for other modules.

@sturdy trail For idempotentcy to work correctly we have to hardcore any variable you want to set in to the module it self.

If there are variable that you need that are missing from a module.

You can make a Issue here https://github.com/ansible-collections/netapp.ontap and and we will added it in a future release.
