name-mapping insert - need to use na_ontap_rest_cli? | NetApp | Page 1

Hi all,

I'm making a playbook creating win->unix name mapping for multiple vservers but noticed that when using na_ontap_name_mappings module there is no way to insert new mapping where I could use static index forcing other maps to shift down. So most likely I'm forced to switch to na_ontap_rest_cli module which I hope will solve the issue.

Question is how cli commands are formed as examples have all sorts of approach with different verb, body and params? I would like this to be converted to na_ontap_rest_cli:
name-mapping insert -vserver SVM -direction win-unix -position 1000 -pattern first.last@example.com -replacement username

So is command name-mapping or name-mapping/insert? Or maybe command: name-mapping and body: insert with vserver, direction etc. in params?

The create/modify/show (or in this case insert) part of the command maps to the verb: Option. For create operations it is POST and for modify it is PATCH. You will have to try which works in this case.

REST API Reference is helpful to understand all necessary options. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-restapi/ontap/swagger-ui/index.html

Look for "Using the private CLI passthrough with the ONTAP REST API"
