zhmc_adapter_list – List adapters

Synopsis

  • List adapters on a specific CPC (Z system) or on all managed CPCs.

  • CPCs in classic mode are ignored (i.e. do not lead to a failure).

  • Adapters for which the user has no object access permission are ignored (i.e. do not lead to a failure).

  • On HMCs with version 2.16.0 or higher, the “List Permitted Adapters” operation is used by this module. Otherwise, the managed CPCs are listed and then the adapters on each desired CPC or CPCs are listed. This improves the execution time of the module on newer HMCs but does not affect the module result data.

Requirements

  • The HMC userid must have object-access permissions to these objects: Target adapters, CPCs of target adapters (CPC access is only needed for HMC version 2.15 and older).

Parameters

hmc_host

The hostnames or IP addresses of a single HMC or of a list of redundant HMCs. A single HMC can be specified as a string type or as an HMC list with one item. An HMC list can be specified as a list type or as a string type containing a Python list representation.

The first available HMC of a list of redundant HMCs is used for the entire execution of the module.

required: True
type: raw
hmc_auth

The authentication credentials for the HMC.

required: True
type: dict
userid

The userid (username) for authenticating with the HMC. This is mutually exclusive with providing session_id.

required: False
type: str
password

The password for authenticating with the HMC. This is mutually exclusive with providing session_id.

required: False
type: str
session_id

HMC session ID to be used. This is mutually exclusive with providing userid and password and can be created as described in :ref:`zhmc_session_module`.

required: False
type: str
ca_certs

Path name of certificate file or certificate directory to be used for verifying the HMC certificate. If null (default), the path name in the ‘REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE’ environment variable or the path name in the ‘CURL_CA_BUNDLE’ environment variable is used, or if neither of these variables is set, the certificates in the Mozilla CA Certificate List provided by the ‘certifi’ Python package are used for verifying the HMC certificate.

required: False
type: str
verify

If True (default), verify the HMC certificate as specified in the ca_certs parameter. If False, ignore what is specified in the ca_certs parameter and do not verify the HMC certificate.

required: False
type: bool
default: True
cpc_name

Name of the CPC for which the adapters are to be listed.

Default: All managed CPCs.

required: False
type: str
name

Regular expression pattern for the adapter name to filter the result list to matching adapters.

required: False
type: str
adapter_id

Regular expression pattern for the adapter ID (PCHID) (‘adapter-id’ property) to filter the result list to matching adapters.

required: False
type: str
adapter_family

Adapter family (‘adapter-family’ property) to filter the result list to adapters with that family.

required: False
type: str
type

Adapter type (‘type’ property) to filter the result list to adapters with that type.

required: False
type: str
status

Adapter status (‘status’ property) to filter the result list to adapters with that status.

required: False
type: str
additional_properties

List of additional properties to be returned for each adapter, in addition to the default properties (see result description).

Mutually exclusive with full_properties.

The property names are specified with underscores instead of hyphens.

On HMCs with an API version below 4.10 (= HMC version 2.16.0 with some post-GA updates), all properties of each adapter will be returned if this parameter is specified, but you should not rely on that.

required: False
type: list
elements: str
full_properties

If True, all properties of each adapter will be returned. Default: False.

Mutually exclusive with additional_properties.

Note: Setting this to True causes a loop of ‘Get Adapter Properties’ operations to be executed. It is preferable from a performance perspective to use the additional_properties parameter instead.

required: False
type: bool
log_file

File path of a log file to which the logic flow of this module as well as interactions with the HMC are logged. If null, logging will be propagated to the Python root logger.

required: False
type: str
