Interface Group Names - REST | NetApp | Page 1

Hello all,

We've been utilizing Ansible for configuring interface groups and observed that the 'name' parameter is no longer supported in REST. From what I understand, ONTAP now automatically generates names for interface groups in REST. Our customer configures interface group names like a1a and a1z, so when we add new HA pair into the cluster, will ONTAP generate the same interface group names a1a and a1z on the new HA pair added to the cluster? Additionally, are there any plans to support the 'name' parameter in REST?

you have to configure interface groups on every node separately. But you can (and probably should) re-use the names, i.e. it's okay to have an "a0a" ifgrp on every node in your cluster

@glad yoke yes we will configure ifgrp on all nodes but my question was related to ansible module no longer support name parameter in REST. So when we configure ifgrps on new nodes added to existing cluster with ifgrp a1a and a1z, will ontap generate same ifgrp names on new nodes if we make use of rest version of ansible module? As of today, we are using name parameter as part of ifgrp creation for which ansible module will report a warning message that ‘name’ parameter is no longer supported in REST.

I think you already asked that in the past and as I read it the parameter was added back in?
