New in version 2.4.
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
force
bool |
|
If
yes will upload the file every time and replace the file on the device. If no, the file will only be uploaded if it does not already exist. Generally should be yes only in cases where you have reason to believe that the image was corrupted during upload. |
|
|
include_chassis_level_config
bool |
|
During restore of the UCS file, include chassis level configuration that is shared among boot volume sets. For example, cluster default configuration.
|
|
|
no_license
bool |
|
Performs a full restore of the UCS file and all the files it contains, with the exception of the license file. The option must be used to restore a UCS on RMA devices (Returned Materials Authorization).
|
|
|
no_platform_check
bool |
|
Bypasses the platform check and allows a UCS that was created using a different platform to be installed. By default (without this option), a UCS created from a different platform is not allowed to be installed.
|
|
|
passphrase
bool |
|
Specifies the passphrase that is necessary to load the specified UCS file.
|
|
|
password
required |
The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You can omit this option if the environment variable
F5_PASSWORD is set.aliases: pass, pwd |
||
|
provider
(added in 2.5) |
A dict object containing connection details.
|
||
| ssh_keyfile |
Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead. |
||
| timeout |
Default: 10
|
Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
|
|
|
server
required |
The BIG-IP host. You can omit this option if the environment variable
F5_SERVER is set. |
||
|
user
required |
The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You can omit this option if the environment variable
F5_USER is set. |
||
| server_port |
Default: 443
|
The BIG-IP server port. You can omit this option if the environment variable
F5_SERVER_PORT is set. |
|
|
password
required |
The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You can omit this option if the environment variable
F5_PASSWORD is set.aliases: pass, pwd |
||
|
validate_certs
bool |
|
If
no, SSL certificates will not be validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. You can omit this option if the environment variable F5_VALIDATE_CERTS is set. |
|
|
transport
required |
|
Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
|
|
|
reset_trust
bool |
|
When specified, the device and trust domain certs and keys are not loaded from the UCS. Instead, a new set is regenerated.
|
|
|
server
required |
The BIG-IP host. You can omit this option if the environment variable
F5_SERVER is set. |
||
|
server_port
(added in 2.2) |
Default: 443
|
The BIG-IP server port. You can omit this option if the environment variable
F5_SERVER_PORT is set. |
|
| state |
|
When
installed, ensures that the UCS is uploaded and installed, on the system. When present, ensures that the UCS is uploaded. When absent, the UCS will be removed from the system. When installed, the uploading of the UCS is idempotent, however the installation of that configuration is not idempotent. |
|
| ucs |
The path to the UCS file to install. The parameter must be provided if the
state is either installed or activated. When state is absent, the full path for this parameter will be ignored and only the filename will be used to select a UCS for removal. Therefore you could specify /mickey/mouse/test.ucs and this module would only look for test.ucs. |
||
|
user
required |
The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You can omit this option if the environment variable
F5_USER is set. |
||
|
validate_certs
bool (added in 2.0) |
|
If
no, SSL certificates will not be validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. You can omit this option if the environment variable F5_VALIDATE_CERTS is set. |
