Couldn't resolve module/action 'netapp.ontap.na_ontap_rest_info'

I am attempting to run my Ansible playbook against my NetApp cluster, and I receive the following error shown below.

I have met all of the requirements for installing netapp.ontap collections.

What am I missing here? The .yml file looks more than fine and is spelled correctly. I have tried reinstalling “ansible-galaxy collection install netapp.ontap” several times but with no luck.

ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'netapp.ontap.na_ontap_rest_info'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

The error appears to be in '/runner/project/Test-Connectivity.yml': line 20, column 7, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

- name: Collect ONTAP Info

@marshit Hello.

How did you run the playbook?

For example, ansible-playbook, ansible-navigator, AWX, Automation Controller, etc.

I think the environment in which you installed the collection and the environment in which you run Playbook may be different.

@akira6592 Hello, so I’m going to try my best to explain this (LOL)…So, I only run playbooks by way of AWX.

I installed AWX using K3s, so I have running pods.

> [admin@RHEL9-AWX ~]$ kubectl get pods -n awx
> NAME                                               READY   STATUS    RESTARTS         AGE

That being said, I didn’t do anything special about installing, as you can see from my command, and yes, maybe that’s the issue, but I wasn’t sure how or what differently I needed to do.

But I only use the default ‘AWX-EE’ environment within AWX.

@akira6592 Since you brought it up, do you mean I need to do something like this - “ansible-galaxy collection install --environment awx-ee <collection_name>”.

Does that look to be what you mean?

I will try that and update the ticket. Sometimes, I just need a little help : )

@marshit

But I only use the default ‘AWX-EE’ environment within AWX.

Thanks for the information.

AWX-EE refers to quay.io/awx-ee. This image does not have the netapp.ontap collection.

So you need to include the netapp.ontap collection in your Execution environment.

There are two ways to do this.

1. Create a custom image

You can use ansible-builder to build a custom image containing the netapp.ontap collection.

  • Build a custom image includes netapp.ontap collection.
  • Push the custom image
  • Define it as an Execution Environment on AWX
  • Configure the job template to run the job using the new (custom) Execution Environment

2. Include collections/requirements.yml in the project

If you have difficulty building custom images, this may be a good option.

Create a file called collections/requirements.yml in the project containing the Playbook with the following contents.

---
collections:
  - name: netapp.ontap

This will automatically install the netapp.ontap collection when the job template is started.

@akira6592 I’ll try this and get back to you with an update later today.

@akira6592 I created a requirements.yml file and added it to the root of my GitHub repository.

---
collections:
- netapp.aws                    
- netapp.azure                  
- netapp.cloudmanager           
- netapp.elementsw               
- netapp.ontap                  
- netapp.storagegrid            
- netapp.um_info                 
- netapp_eseries.santricity       
- netbox.netbox

Thank you very much for your help!

My pleasure :grinning:
If it worked, could you mark my post as a solution?
