These products include the IBM SAN Volume Controller, IBM FlashSystem family members built with IBM Spectrum Virtualize (FlashSystem 5xxx, 7xxx, 9xxx), IBM Storwize family, and IBM Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud. For more information regarding these products, see [IBM Documentation](https://www.ibm.com/docs/). - -## Requirements - -- Ansible version 2.9 or higher - -## Installation - -To install the IBM Spectrum Virtualize collection hosted in Galaxy: -

For non-LMC systems, login to the user-interface is required in order to complete the automation of Day 0 configuration. -- SV Ansible Collection v1.7.0 provided `Setup and Configuration Automation` through different modules. This feature helps user to automate Day 0 configuration. - This feature includes three modules: - - ibm_svc_initial_setup - - ibm_svc_manage_callhome - - ibm_svc_manage_sra -- By proceeding and using these modules, the user acknowledges that [IBM Privacy Statement](https://www.ibm.com/privacy) has been read and understood. - -### Prerequisite - -- Paramiko must be installed to use ibm_svctask_command and ibm_svcinfo_command modules. - -## Limitation - -The modules in the IBM Spectrum Virtualize Ansible collection leverage REST APIs to connect to the IBM Spectrum Virtualize storage system. This has following limitations: -1. Using the REST APIs to list more than 2000 objects may create a loss of service from the API side, as it automatically restarts due to memory constraints. -2. It is not possible to access REST APIs using an IPv6 address on a cluster. -3. The Ansible collection can run on all IBM Spectrum Virtualize storage system versions above 8.1.3, except versions 8.3.1.3, 8.3.1.4 and 8.3.1.5. -4. At time of release of the SV Ansible v1.8.0 collection, no module is available for non LMC systems to automate license agreements acceptance, including EULA. - User will be presented with a GUI setup wizard upon user-interface login, whether the Ansible modules have been used for initial configuration or not. - -## Releasing, Versioning, and Deprecation - -1. IBM Spectrum Virtualize Ansible Collection releases follow a quarterly release cycle. -2. IBM Spectrum Virtualize Ansible Collection releases follow [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/). -3. IBM Spectrum Virtualize Ansible modules deprecation cycle is aligned with [Ansible](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/module_lifecycle.html). - -## Contributing - -Currently we are not accepting community contributions. -Though, you may periodically review this content to learn when and how contributions can be made in the future. -IBM Spectrum Virtualize Ansible Collection maintainers can follow the [Maintainer guidelines](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/maintainers.html). - -## License - -GNU General Public License v3.0 +It is being replaced with new repository. The new collection is fully compatible with the old one. All the new features and development will be done on the new collection. +[ansible-collections/ibm.storage_virtualize](https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm.storage_virtualize) |
