--- | --- | ---
api_password string / required |  | The password to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.
api_url string / required |  | The url to the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API. Example https://prod-1.wahoo.acme.com/devmgr/v2
api_username string / required |  | The username to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.
firmware string / required |  | Path to the firmware file.
ignore_health_check boolean | Choices: no ← yes | This flag will force firmware to be activated in spite of the health check. Use at your own risk. Certain non-optimal states could result in data loss.
nvsram string / required |  | Path to the NVSRAM file.
ssid string | Default: 1 | The ID of the array to manage. This value must be unique for each array.
validate_certs boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Should https certificates be validated?
wait_for_completion boolean | Choices: no ← yes | This flag will cause module to wait for any upgrade actions to complete.

## Notes

Note

- 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.
