+
+# Branching strategy
+
+Ansible modules for Dell PowerFlex follows a scaled trunk branching strategy where short-lived branches are created off of the main branch. When coding is complete, the branch is merged back into main after being approved in a pull request code review.
+
+## Branch naming convention
+
+| Branch Type | Example | Comment |
+|--------------|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
+| main | main | |
+| Release | release-1.0 | hotfix: release-1.1 patch: release-1.0.1 |
+| Feature | feature-9-vol-support | "9" referring to GitHub issue ID |
+| Bug Fix | bugfix-110-fix-duplicates-issue | "110" referring to GitHub issue ID |
+
+
+## Steps for working on a release branch
+
+1. Fork the repository.
+2. Create a branch off of the main branch. The branch name should follow [branch naming convention](#branch-naming-convention).
+3. Make your changes and commit them to your branch.
+4. If other code changes have merged into the upstream main branch, perform a rebase of those changes into your branch.
+5. Open a [pull request](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/pulls) between your branch and the upstream main branch.
+6. Once your pull request has merged, your branch can be deleted.

+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent ban
+
+**Community impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.

+## Submitting issues
+
+All issues related to Ansible modules for Dell PowerFlex, regardless of the service/repository the issue belongs to (see table above), should be submitted [here](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/issues). Issues will be triaged and labels will be used to indicate the type of issue. This section outlines the types of issues that can be submitted.
+
+### Report bugs
+
+We aim to track and document everything related to Ansible modules for Dell PowerFlex via the Issues page. The code and documentation are released with no warranties or SLAs and are intended to be supported through a community driven process.
+
+Before submitting a new issue, make sure someone hasn't already reported the problem. Look through the [existing issues](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/issues) for similar issues.
+
+Report a bug by submitting a [bug report](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/issues/new?labels=type%2Fbug%2C+needs-triage&template=bug_report.md&title=%5BBUG%5D%3A). Make sure that you provide as much information as possible on how to reproduce the bug.
+
+When opening a Bug please include this information to help with debugging:
+
+1. Version of relevant software: this software, Ansible, Python, SDK, etc.
+2. Details of the issue explaining the problem: what, when, where
+3. The expected outcome that was not met (if any)
+4. Supporting troubleshooting information. __Note: Do not provide private company information that could compromise your company's security.__
+
+An Issue __must__ be created before submitting any pull request. Any pull request that is created should be linked to an Issue.
+
+### Feature request
+
+If you have an idea of how to improve this project, submit a [feature request](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/issues/new?labels=type%2Ffeature-request%2C+needs-triage&template=feature_request.md&title=%5BFEATURE%5D%3A).
+
+### Answering questions
+
+If you have a question and you can't find the answer in the documentation or issues, the next step is to submit a [question.](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/issues/new?labels=type%2Fquestion&template=ask-a-question.md&title=%5BQUESTION%5D%3A)
+
+We'd love your help answering questions being asked by other Ansible modules for Dell PowerFlex users.
+
+## Triage issues
+
+Triage helps ensure that issues resolve quickly by:
+
+* Ensuring the issue's intent and purpose is conveyed precisely. This is necessary because it can be difficult for an issue to explain how an end user experiences a problem and what actions they took.
+* Giving a contributor the information they need before they commit to resolving an issue.
+* Lowering the issue count by preventing duplicate issues.
+* Streamlining the development process by preventing duplicate discussions.
+
+If you don't have the knowledge or time to code, consider helping with _issue triage_. The Ansible modules for Dell PowerFlex community will thank you for saving them time by spending some of yours.
+
+Read more about the ways you can [Triage issues](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/blob/1.6.0/ISSUE_TRIAGE.md).
+
+## Your first contribution
+
+Unsure where to begin contributing? Start by browsing issues labeled `beginner friendly` or `help wanted`.
+
+* [Beginner-friendly](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22beginner+friendly%22) issues are generally straightforward to complete.
+* [Help wanted](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22help+wanted%22) issues are problems we would like the community to help us with regardless of complexity.
+
+When you're ready to contribute, it's time to create a pull request.
+
+## Branching
+
+* [Branching Strategy for Ansible modules for Dell PowerFlex](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/blob/1.6.0/BRANCHING.md)
+
+## Signing your commits
+
+We require that developers sign off their commits to certify that they have permission to contribute the code in a pull request. This way of certifying is commonly known as the [Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)](https://developercertificate.org/). We encourage all contributors to read the DCO text before signing a commit and making contributions.
+
+GitHub will prevent a pull request from being merged if there are any unsigned commits.
+
+### Signing a commit
+
+GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) will be used to sign commits. Follow the instructions [here](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/authenticating-to-github/signing-commits) to create a GPG key and configure your GitHub account to use that key.
+
+Make sure you have your user name and e-mail set. This will be required for your signed commit to be properly verified. Check this references:
+
+* Setting up your github user name [reference](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-your-username-in-git/)
+* Setting up your e-mail address [reference](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-your-commit-email-address-in-git/)
+
+Once Git and your GitHub account have been properly configured, you can add the -S flag to the git commits:
+
+```console
+$ git commit -S -m your commit message
+# Creates a signed commit
+```
+
+### Commit message format
+
+Ansible modules for Dell PowerFlex uses the guidelines for commit messages outlined in [How to Write a Git Commit Message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/)
+
+## Pull requests
+
+If this is your first time contributing to an open-source project on GitHub, make sure you read about [Creating a pull request](https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-pull-request).
+
+A pull request must always link to at least one GitHub issue. If that is not the case, create a GitHub issue and link it.
+
+To increase the chance of having your pull request accepted, make sure your pull request follows these guidelines:
+
+* Title and description matches the implementation.
+* Commits within the pull request follow the formatting guidelines.
+* The pull request closes one related issue.
+* The pull request contains necessary tests that verify the intended behavior.
+* If your pull request has conflicts, rebase your branch onto the main branch.
+
+If the pull request fixes a bug:
+
+* The pull request description must include `Fixes #<issue number>`.
+* To avoid regressions, the pull request should include tests that replicate the fixed bug.
+
+The team _squashes_ all commits into one when we accept a pull request. The title of the pull request becomes the subject line of the squashed commit message. We still encourage contributors to write informative commit messages, as they becomes a part of the Git commit body.
+
+We use the pull request title when we generate change logs for releases. As such, we strive to make the title as informative as possible.
+
+Make sure that the title for your pull request uses the same format as the subject line in the commit message.
+
+### Quality gates for pull requests
+
+GitHub Actions are used to enforce quality gates when a pull request is created or when any commit is made to the pull request. These GitHub Actions enforce our minimum code quality requirement for any code that get checked into the repository. If any of the quality gates fail, it is expected that the contributor will look into the check log, understand the problem and resolve the issue. If help is needed, please feel free to reach out the maintainers of the project for [support](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/blob/1.6.0/SUPPORT.md).
+
+#### Code sanitization
+
+[GitHub action](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/actions/workflows/ansible-test.yml) that analyzes source code to flag ansible sanity errors and runs Unit tests.
+
+## Code reviews
+
+All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. Consult [GitHub Help](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/) for more information on using pull requests.
+
+A pull request must satisfy following for it to be merged:
+
+* A pull request will require at least 2 maintainer approvals.
+* Maintainers must perform a review to ensure the changes adhere to guidelines laid out in this document.
+* If any commits are made after the PR has been approved, the PR approval will automatically be removed and the above process must happen again.
+
+## Code style
+
+Ensure the added code has the required documenation, examples and unit tests.
+
+### Sanity
+
+Run ansible-test sanity --docker default on your code to ensure sanity. Ensure the code does not have any Andersson script violations and not break any existing unit test workflows.
+
+### TODOs in the code
+
+We don't like TODOs in the code or documentation. It is really best if you sort out all issues you can see with the changes before we check the changes in.

+# Installation and execution of Ansible modules for Dell PowerFlex
+
+## Installation of SDK
+* Install the python SDK named [PyPowerFlex](https://pypi.org/project/PyPowerFlex/). It can be installed using pip, based on appropriate python version. Execute this command:
+
+ pip install PyPowerFlex
+* Alternatively, Clone the repo "https://github.com/dell/python-powerflex"
+ using command:
+
+ git clone https://github.com/dell/python-powerflex.git
+ * Go to the root directory of setup.
+ * Execute this command:
+
+ pip install .
+
+## Building collections
+ * Use this command to build the collection from source code:
+
+ ansible-galaxy collection build
+
+ For more details on how to build a tar ball, please refer to: [Building the collection](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_collections_distributing.html#building-your-collection-tarball)
+
+## Installing collections
+
+#### Online installation of collections
+ * Use this command to install the latest collection hosted in [galaxy portal](https://galaxy.ansible.com/dellemc/powerflex):
+
+ ansible-galaxy collection install dellemc.powerflex -p <install_path>
+
+#### Offline installation of collections
+
+ * Download the latest tar build from any of the available distribution channel [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/dellemc/powerflex) /[Automation Hub](https://console.redhat.com/ansible/automation-hub/repo/published/dellemc/powerflex) and use this command to install the collection anywhere in your system:
+
+ ansible-galaxy collection install dellemc-powerflex-1.6.0.tar.gz -p <install_path>
+
+ * Set the environment variable:
+
+ export ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS=$ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS:<install_path>
+
+## Using collections
+
+ * In order to use any Ansible module, ensure that the importing of proper FQCN (Fully Qualified Collection Name) must be embedded in the playbook.
+ This example can be referred to:
+
+ collections:
+ - dellemc.powerflex
+
+ * In order to use installed collection in a specific task use a proper FQCN (Fully Qualified Collection Name). Refer to this example:
+
+ tasks:
+ - name: Get Volume details
+ dellemc.powerflex.volume
+
+ * For generating Ansible documentation for a specific module, embed the FQCN before the module name. Refer to this example:
+
+ ansible-doc dellemc.powerflex.volume
+
+
+## Ansible modules execution
+
+The Ansible server must be configured with Python library for PowerFlex to run the Ansible playbooks. The [Documents](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/blob/1.6.0/docs/) provide information on different Ansible modules along with their functions and syntax. The parameters table in the Product Guide provides information on various parameters which needs to be configured before running the modules.
+
+## SSL certificate validation
+
+* Copy the CA certificate to the "/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors" path of the host by any external means.
+* Set the "REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE" environment variable to the path of the SSL certificate using the command:
+
+ export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/<<Certificate_Name>>
+* Import the SSL certificate to host using the command:
+
+ update-ca-trust extract
+* If "TLS CA certificate bundle error" occurs, then follow these steps:
+
+ cd /etc/pki/tls/certs/
+ openssl x509 -in ca-bundle.crt -text -noout
+
+## Results
+Each module returns the updated state and details of the entity, For example, if you are using the Volume module, all calls will return the updated details of the volume. Sample result is shown in each module's documentation.
+
+## Ansible execution environment
+Ansible can also be installed in a container environment. Ansible Builder provides the ability to create reproducible, self-contained environments as container images that can be run as Ansible execution environments.
+* Install the ansible builder package using:
+
+ pip3 install ansible-builder
+* Ensure the execution-environment.yml is at the root of collection and create the execution environment using:
+
+ ansible-builder build --tag <tag_name> --container-runtime docker
+* After the image is built, run the container using:
+
+ docker run -it <tag_name> /bin/bash
+* Verify collection installation using command:
+
+ ansible-galaxy collection list
+* The playbook can be run on the container using:
+
+ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/runner <tag_name> ansible-playbook info_test.yml

+# Triage issues
+
+The main goal of issue triage is to categorize all incoming issues and make sure each issue has all basic information needed for anyone else to understand and be able to start working on it.
+
+> **Note:** This information is for project Maintainers, Owners, and Admins. If you are a Contributor, then you will not be able to perform most of the tasks in this topic.
+
+The core maintainers of this project are responsible for categorizing all incoming issues and delegating any critical or important issue to other maintainers. Triage provides an important way to contribute to an open source project.
+
+Triage helps ensure issues resolve quickly by:
+
+- Ensuring the issue's intent and purpose is conveyed precisely. This is necessary because it can be difficult for an issue to explain how an end user experiences a problem and what actions they took.
+- Giving a contributor the information they need before they commit to resolving an issue.
+- Lowering the issue count by preventing duplicate issues.
+- Streamlining the development process by preventing duplicate discussions.
+
+If you don't have the knowledge or time to code, consider helping with triage. The community will thank you for saving them time by spending some of yours.
+
+## 1. Find issues that need triage
+
+The easiest way to find issues that haven't been triaged is to search for issues with the `needs-triage` label.
+
+## 2. Ensure the issue contains basic information
+
+Make sure that the issue's author provided the standard issue information. This project utilizes GitHub issue templates to guide contributors to provide standard information that must be included for each type of template or type of issue.
+
+### Standard issue information that must be included
+
+This section describes the various issue templates and the expected content.
+
+#### Bug reports
+
+Should explain what happened, what was expected and how to reproduce it together with any additional information that may help giving a complete picture of what happened such as screenshots, output and any environment related information that's applicable and/or maybe related to the reported problem:
+
+ - Ansible Version: [e.g. 2.14]
+ - Python Version [e.g. 3.11]
+ - Ansible modules for Dell PowerFlex Version: [e.g. 1.6.0]
+ - PowerFlex SDK version: [e.g. PyPowerFlex 1.7.0]
+ - Any other additional information...
+
+#### Feature requests
+
+Should explain what feature that the author wants to be added and why that is needed.
+
+#### Ask a question requests
+
+In general, if the issue description and title is perceived as a question no more information is needed.
+
+### Good practices
+
+To make it easier for everyone to understand and find issues they're searching for it's suggested as a general rule of thumbs to:
+
+- Make sure that issue titles are named to explain the subject of the issue, has a correct spelling and doesn't include irrelevant information and/or sensitive information.
+- Make sure that issue descriptions doesn't include irrelevant information.
+- Make sure that issues do not contain sensitive information.
+- Make sure that issues have all relevant fields filled in.
+- Do your best effort to change title and description or request suggested changes by adding a comment.
+
+> **Note:** Above rules are applicable to both new and existing issues.
+
+### Dealing with missing information
+
+Depending on the issue, you might not feel all this information is needed. Use your best judgement. If you cannot triage an issue using what its author provided, explain kindly to the author that they must provide the above information to clarify the problem. Label issue with `triage/needs-information`.
+
+If the author provides the standard information but you are still unable to triage the issue, request additional information. Do this kindly and politely because you are asking for more of the author's time. Label issue with `triage/needs-information`.
+
+If the author does not respond to the requested information within the timespan of a week, close the issue with a kind note stating that the author can request for the issue to be reopened when the necessary information is provided.
+
+If you receive a notification with additional information provided but you are not anymore on issue triage and you feel you do not have time to handle it, you should delegate it to the current person on issue triage.
+
+## 3. Categorizing an issue
+
+### Duplicate issues
+
+Make sure it's not a duplicate by searching existing issues using related terms from the issue title and description. If you think you know there is an existing issue, but can't find it, please reach out to one of the maintainers and ask for help. If you identify that the issue is a duplicate of an existing issue:
+
+1. Add a comment `duplicate of #<issue number>`
+2. Add the `triage/duplicate` label
+
+### Bug reports
+
+If it's not perfectly clear that it's an actual bug, quickly try to reproduce it.
+
+**It's a bug/it can be reproduced:**
+
+1. Add a comment describing detailed steps for how to reproduce it, if applicable.
+2. If you know that maintainers wont be able to put any resources into it for some time then label the issue with `help wanted` and optionally `beginner friendly` together with pointers on which code to update to fix the bug. This should signal to the community that we would appreciate any help we can get to resolve this.
+3. Move on to [prioritizing the issue](#4-prioritization-of-issues).
+
+**It can't be reproduced:**
+
+1. Either [ask for more information](#2-ensure-the-issue-contains-basic-information) needed to investigate it more thoroughly. Provide details in a comment.
+2. Either [delegate further investigations](#investigation-of-issues) to someone else. Provide details in a comment.
+
+**It works as intended/by design:**
+
+1. Kindly and politely add a comment explaining briefly why we think it works as intended and close the issue.
+2. Label the issue `triage/works-as-intended`.
+3. Remove the `needs-triage` label.
+
+**It does not work as intended/by design:**
+
+### Feature requests
+
+1. If the feature request does not align with the product vision, add a comment indicating so, remove the `needs-triage` label and close the issue
+2. Otherwise, move on to [prioritizing the issue](#4-prioritization-of-issues). Assign the appropriate priority label to the issue, add the appropriate comments to the issue, and remove the `needs-triage` label.
+
+## 4. Prioritization of issues
+
+In general bugs and feature request issues should be labeled with a priority.
+
+Adding priority levels can be difficult. Ensure you have the knowledge, context, and the experience before prioritizing any issue.
+
+If you have any uncertainty as to which priority level to assign, please ask the maintainers for help.
+
+| Label | Description |
+| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `priority/critical` | Highest priority. Must be actively worked on as someone's top priority immediately. |
+| `priority/high` | Must be worked on soon, ideally in time for the next release. |
+| `priority/low` | Lowest priority. Possibly useful, but not yet enough interest in it. |
+
+### Critical priority
+
+1. If an issue has been categorized and any of this criteria apply, the issue should be labeled as critical and must be actively worked on as someone's top priority immediately.
+
+ - Results in any data loss
+ - Critical security or performance issues
+ - Problem that makes a feature unusable
+ - Multiple users experience a severe problem affecting their business, users etc.
+
+2. Label the issue `priority/critical`.
+3. Escalate the problem to the maintainers.
+4. Assign or ask a maintainer for help assigning someone to make this issue their top priority immediately.
+5. Add the issue to the next upcoming release milestone.
+
+### High priority
+
+1. Label the issue `priority/high`.
+2. Add the issue to the next upcoming release milestone.
+3. Prioritize it or assign someone to work on it now or very soon.
+4. Consider requesting [help from the community](#5-requesting-help-from-the-community).
+
+### Low priority
+
+1. If the issue is deemed possibly useful but a low priority label the issue `priority/low`.
+2. The amount of interest in the issue will determine if the priority elevated.
+3. Consider requesting [help from the community](#5-requesting-help-from-the-community).
+
+## 5. Requesting help from the community
+
+Depending on the issue and/or priority, it's always a good idea to consider signalling to the community that help from community is appreciated and needed in case an issue is not prioritized to be worked on by maintainers. Use your best judgement. In general, requesting help from the community means that a contribution has a good chance of getting accepted and merged.
+
+In many cases the issue author or community as a whole is more suitable to contribute changes since they're experts in their domain. It's also quite common that someone has tried to get something to work using the documentation without success and made an effort to get it to work and/or reached out to the community to get the missing information.
+
+1. Kindly and politely add a comment to alert update subscribers.
+ - Explain the issue and need for resolution. Be sure and detail that the issue has not been prioritized and that the issue has not been scheduled for work by the maintainers.
+ - If possible or applicable, add pointers and references to the code/files that need to be revised. Provide any idea as to the solution. This will help the maintainers get started on resolving the issue.
+2. Label the issue with `help wanted`.
+3. If applicable, label the issue with `beginner friendly` to denote that the issue is suitable for a beginner to work on.
+
+## Investigation of issues
+
+When an issue has all basic information provided, but the reported problem cannot be reproduced at a first glance, the issue is labeled `triage/needs-information`. Depending on the perceived severity and/or number of [upvotes](https://help.github.com/en/articles/about-conversations-on-github#reacting-to-ideas-in-comments), the investigation will either be delegated to another maintainer for further investigation or put on hold until someone else (maintainer or contributor) picks it up and eventually starts investigating it.
+
+Even if you don't have the time or knowledge to investigate an issue we highly recommend that you [upvote](https://help.github.com/en/articles/about-conversations-on-github#reacting-to-ideas-in-comments) the issue if you happen to have the same problem. If you have further details that may help investigating the issue please provide as much information as possible.
+
+## External pull requests
+
+Part of issue triage should also be triaging of external PRs. Main goal should be to make sure PRs from external contributors have an owner/reviewer and are not forgotten.
+
+1. Check new external PRs which do not have a reviewer.
+1. Check if there is a link to an existing issue.
+1. If not and you know which issue it is solving, add the link yourself, otherwise ask the author to link the issue or create one.
+1. Assign a reviewer based on who was handling the linked issue or what code or feature does the PR touches (look at who was the last to make changes there if all else fails).
+
+## GitHub issue management workflow
+
+This section describes the triage workflow for new GitGHub issues that get created.
+
+### GitHub Issue: Bug
+
+This workflow starts off with a GitHub issue of type bug being created.
+
+1. Collaborator or maintainer creates a GitHub bug using the appropriate GitHub issue template
+2. By default a bug will be created with the `type/bug` and `needs-triage` labels
+
+The following flow chart outlines the triage process for bugs.
+
+<!-- https://textik.com/#38ec14781648871c -->
+```

+ +--------------------------+ +---------------------+ +-------------------------------------+
+
+```
+
+If the author does not respond to a request for more information within the timespan of a week, close the issue with a kind note stating that the author can request for the issue to be reopened when the necessary information is provided.
+
+### GitHub issue: feature request
+
+This workflow starts off with a GitHub issue of type feature request being created.
+
+1. Collaborator or maintainer creates a GitHub feature request using the appropriate GitHub issue template
+2. By default a feature request will be created with the `type/feature-request` and `needs-triage` labels
+
+This flow chart outlines the triage process for feature requests.
+
+<!-- https://textik.com/#81e81fc717f63429 -->
+```
+ +---------------------------------+
+ |New feature request issue opened/|

+ | Close issue | | Done --------- Add priority label |
+ | | | | | label: priority/* |
+ +---------------+ +--------+ +-----------------------------+
+```
+
+If the author does not respond to a request for more information within the timespan of a week, close the issue with a kind note stating that the author can request for the issue to be reopened when the necessary information is provided.
+
+In some cases you may receive a request you do not wish to accept. Perhaps the request doesn't align with the project scope or vision. It is important to tactfully handle contributions that don't meet the project standards.
+
+1. Acknowledge the person behind the contribution and thank them for their interest and contribution
+2. Explain why it didn't fit into the scope of the project or vision
+3. Don't leave an unwanted contributions open. Immediately close the contribution you do not wish to accept

+# Maintainer guidelines
+
+As a Maintainer of this project you have the responsibility of keeping true to the vision of the project with a high-degree quality. Being part of this group is a privilege that requires dedication and time to attend to the daily activities that are associated with the maintenance of this project.
+
+## Becoming a maintainer
+
+Most Maintainers started as Contributors that have demonstrated their commitment to the success of the project. Contributors wishing to become Maintainers, must demonstrate commitment to the success of the project by contributing code, reviewing others' work, and triaging issues on a regular basis for at least three months.
+
+The contributions alone don't make you a Maintainer. You need to earn the trust of the current Maintainers and other project Contributors, that your decisions and actions are in the best interest of the project.
+
+Periodically, the existing Maintainers curate a list of Contributors who have shown regular activity on the project over the prior months. It is from this list that Maintainer candidates are selected.
+
+After a candidate is selected, the existing Maintainers discuss the candidate over the next 5 business days, provide feedback, and vote. At least 75% of the current Maintainers must vote in the affirmative for a candidate to be moved to the role of Maintainer.
+
+If a candidate is approved, a Maintainer contacts the candidate to invite them to open a pull request that adds the contributor to the MAINTAINERS file. The candidate becomes a Maintainer once the pull request is merged.
+
+## Maintainer policies
+
+* Lead by example
+* Follow the [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/blob/1.6.0/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) and the guidelines in the [Contributing](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/blob/1.6.0/CONTRIBUTING.md) and [Committer](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerflex/blob/1.6.0/COMMITTER_GUIDE.md) guides
+* Promote a friendly and collaborative environment within our community
+* Be actively engaged in discussions, answering questions, updating defects, and reviewing pull requests
+* Criticize code, not people. Ideally, tell the contributor a better way to do what they need.
+* Clearly mark optional suggestions as such. Best practice, start your comment with *At your option: …*
+
+## Project decision making
+
+All project decisions should contribute to successfully executing on the project roadmap. Project milestones are established for each release. \ No newline at end of file

+.. contents::
+ :local:
+ :depth: 1
+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+Managing MDM cluster and MDMs on PowerFlex storage system includes adding/removing standby MDM, modify MDM name and virtual interface.
+
+It also includes getting details of MDM cluster, modify MDM cluster ownership, cluster mode, and performance profile.

+.. note::
+ - Parameters *mdm_name* or *mdm_id* are mandatory for rename and modify virtual IP interfaces.
+ - Parameters *mdm_name* or *mdm_id* are not required while modifying performance profile.
+ - For change MDM cluster ownership operation, only changed as True will be returned and for idempotency case MDM cluster details will be returned.
+ - Reinstall all SDC after changing ownership to some newly added MDM.
+ - To add manager standby MDM, MDM package must be installed with manager role.
+ - The *check_mode* is supported.
+ - The modules present in the collection named as 'dellemc.powerflex' are built to support the Dell PowerFlex storage platform.

+
+Notes
+-----
+
+.. note::
+ - The *check_mode* is supported.
+ - Idempotency is not supported for create snapshot operation.
+ - There is a delay in reflection of final state of RCG after few update operations on RCG.
+ - In 3.6 and above, the replication consistency group will return back to consistent mode on changing to inconsistent mode if consistence barrier arrives. Hence idempotency on setting to inconsistent mode will return changed as True.
+ - The modules present in the collection named as 'dellemc.powerflex' are built to support the Dell PowerFlex storage platform.

+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+Managing SDS on PowerFlex storage system includes creating new SDS, getting details of SDS, adding/removing IP to/from SDS, modifying attributes of SDS, and deleting SDS.
+
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
+
+- A Dell PowerFlex storage system version 3.5 or later.
+- Ansible-core 2.12 or later.

+
+
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+.. note::
+ - The maximum limit for the IPs that can be associated with an SDS is 8.
+ - There needs to be at least 1 IP for SDS communication and 1 for SDC communication.
+ - If only 1 IP exists, it must be with role 'all'; else 1 IP can be with role 'all'and other IPs with role 'sdcOnly'; or 1 IP must be with role 'sdsOnly' and others with role 'sdcOnly'.
+ - There can be 1 or more IPs with role 'sdcOnly'.
+ - There must be only 1 IP with SDS role (either with role 'all' or 'sdsOnly').
+ - SDS can be created with RF cache disabled, but, be aware that the RF cache is not always updated. In this case, the user should re-try the operation.
+ - The *check_mode* is not supported.
+ - The modules present in the collection named as 'dellemc.powerflex' are built to support the Dell PowerFlex storage platform.
