add support for "VMware File System" #18

Closed bwdbethke closed 1 year ago

bwdbethke commented 2 years ago

I have more options for creating a filesystem via the GUI than I do via Ansible.

When I create a FS via the GUI, I have options for "General" or "VMware File System".
When I create a FS via ansible dellemc.powerstore.filesystem, then the GUI lists the FS as Config Type "General".

Q1: What does the "VMware File System" option do differently than the "General" option?

Q2: How do I create a filesystem with the "VMware File System" option via the Ansible modules?

As best as I can tell, the GUI-created VMware File System creates a FS...

with "folder_rename_policy": "SMB_Forbidden" -- which I could manually set via ansible module.
with "is_async_MTime_enabled": true -- which I can't set via ansible module.

Also, when I create a VMware File System manually via GUI, I have an Advanced Settings option "Host IO Size". I can pick 8K, 16K, 32K, 64K. When I create a File System via ansible, I can't set the Host IO Size

@bwdbethke , the "VMware File System" support was added in PowerStore 3.0.0.0. We will adding support for VMFS with Ansible modules with v1.9.0 release.
