Note

- Check mode is supported.

- This module requires Web Services API v1.3 or newer.

- The E-Series Ansible modules require either an instance of the Web Services Proxy (WSP), to be available to manage the storage-system, or an E-Series storage-system that supports the Embedded Web Services API.

- Embedded Web Services is currently available on the E2800, E5700, EF570, and newer hardware models.

- netapp_e_storage_system may be utilized for configuring the systems managed by a WSP instance.

        name: myArrayName
