[BUG]: Unsupported parameters for (dellemc.powerstore.filesystem) module: config_type, file_events_publishing_mode, host_io_size, is_async_mtime_enabled

[bwdbethke]

I'm getting errors from dellemc.powerstore.filesystem when I try to specify

• config_type
• is_async_mtime_enabled
• file_events_publishing_mode
• host_io_size

It doesn't seem to be recognizing those parameters. I expected they should be working since #18 was resolved.

The specific msg I'm getting is:

"msg": "Unsupported parameters for (dellemc.powerstore.filesystem) module: config_type, file_events_publishing_mode, host_io_size, is_async_mtime_enabled. Supported parameters include: verifycert, smb_properties, access_policy, state, cap_unit, folder_rename_policy, filesystem_name, protection_policy, locking_policy, nas_server, user, timeout, size, filesystem_id, password, port, description, quota_defaults, array_ip."}

I'm trying to create a filesystem with the following:

  tasks:
    - name: Get details of NAS Server by name
      register: result_nas
      dellemc.powerstore.nasserver:
        array_ip: "{{ powerstore_array_ip }}"
        verifycert: "{{ powerstore_verify_cert }}"
        user: "{{ powerstore_user }}"
        password: "{{ powerstore_password }}"
        nas_server_name: "mynas"
        state: "present"

    - name: Create NFS FileSystem
      loop: "{{ powerstore_nfs_filesystems | default([]) }}"
      register: result_nfs_fs
      dellemc.powerstore.filesystem:
        array_ip: "{{ powerstore_array_ip }}"
        verifycert: "{{ powerstore_verify_cert }}"
        user: "{{ powerstore_user }}"
        password: "{{ powerstore_password }}"
        filesystem_name: "{{ item.filesystem_name }}"
        nas_server: "{{ result_nas.nasserver_details.name }}"
        description: "{{item.description | default(omit) }}"
        size: "{{ item.size }}"
        cap_unit: "{{ item.cap_unit | default(omit) }}"
        access_policy: "{{ item.access_policy | default(omit) }}"
        locking_policy: "{{ item.locking_policy | default(omit) }}"
        folder_rename_policy: "{{ item.folder_rename_policy | default(omit) }}"
        protection_policy: "{{ item.protection_policy | default(omit) }}"
        config_type: "{{ item.config_type | default(omit) }}"
        is_async_mtime_enabled: "{{ item.is_async_MTime_enabled | default(omit) }}"
        file_events_publishing_mode: "{{ item.file_events_publishing_mode | default(omit) }}"
        host_io_size: "{{ item.host_io_size | default(omit) }}"
        state: "{{ item.state | default(omit) }}"

I'm feeding in these vars:

  - filesystem_name: test-ansible-vmware-fs
    description: "Filesystem for VMware NFS datastore created by ansible"
    config_type: VMWARE
    size: 1
    cap_unit: TB
    host_io_size: VMWARE_8K
    is_async_MTime_enabled: true
    access_policy: NATIVE
    locking_policy: ADVISORY
    folder_rename_policy: SMB_FORBIDDEN
    protection_policy: snap-every-1d-keep-1w
    file_events_publishing_mode: NFS_ONLY
    state: present

FWIW, Here's how have been creating the filesystems via CLI since I can't get the ansible module to work for config_type VMWARE (or VMware)

pstcli file_system create -name test-cli-vmware-fs \
  -size_total 1099511627776 \
  -nas_server_name mynas \
  -description "VMware NFS datastore created by CLI" \
  -config_type VMware \
  -access_policy Native \
  -locking_policy Advisory \
  -folder_rename_policy SMB_Forbidden \
  -is_async_MTime_enabled true \
  -host_io_size VMware_8K

@bwdbethke , thank you for submitting this issue. Could you also please let us know the PowerStore OS version?

[bwdbethke]

closing issue as silly user error. I saw there was an updated dellemc.powerstore (1.9.0), but I had forgotten to update my test system to it first before claiming the was a bug in it. 🤦(test system was still 1.7.0)

After updating dellemc.powerstore 1.9.0 (and PyPowerStore to 1.10.0.0) it all worked as expected.

Hello @bwdbethke, Thank you for reaching out to us. I tried the playbook task as mentioned above against the PyPowerStore version 1.10.0 and Ansible modules for PowerStore collection version 1.9.0.

Thank you.

does not fail now that I've updated to the latest versions. thanks
