Hi all,

Renaming of aggregate fails with below error even though the cluster has aggregates. If "use_rest: never" is used the playbook task completes fine.

no aggregate with from_name aggr0_test_01_nas_01

Looks like you have a typo in your aggregate name or something. Note also that aggregate names are case sensitive, so check that as well

There is no typo in the aggregate name. I edited the aggregates names for this post but the playbook runs fine when I use rest never parameter.

Is that a root aggregate? REST API doesn't support that.

Yes it’s root aggregate

I was able use the same ansible task without having to use rest never parameter and it worked fine, the cluster where I used this was on ontap 9.10.1px release and this was few months back. The cluster I’m working on right now is 9.12.1p8 and newer collections so something has changed recently.

#

NetApp changed the default API of the ansible collection to REST a few months back. Some genius in the REST API development decided that stuff like root aggregates and root volumes are not exposed via the REST API. Now here we are...

Oh, that explains this behavior. Thanks @fleet cave . I’ll have to come up with a workaround now to get this work 😕

fleet cave Nov 21, 2023, 2:35 PM

#

As a future proof workaround you can use the rest_cli module.

- name: rename Node root aggregates na_ontap_rest_cli: command: storage/aggregate/rename verb: PATCH params: aggregate: "{{ aggregate }}" body: newname: '{{ aggregate_newname }}'

Yes, that was my next step to use rest cli to get over this. Appreciate you sharing this @fleet cave

I just hit this ... couldn't understand why the na_ontap_rest_info module wasn't giving me the root aggregates. Oh man, this is frustrating!
