The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

- A physical or virtual clustered Data ONTAP system. The modules support Data ONTAP 9.1 and onward

- Ansible 2.6

- Python2 netapp-lib (2017.10.30) or later. Install using ‘pip install netapp-lib’

- Python3 netapp-lib (2018.11.13) or later. Install using ‘pip install netapp-lib’

- To enable http on the cluster you must run the following commands ‘set -privilege advanced;’ ‘system services web modify -http-enabled true;’

- netapp_lib
