Installation

ansible-galaxy collection install netapp.ontap

Installation in a closed environment

If you do not have connectivity to Galaxy in your production environment, you will need to:

  • download a collection tarball in an environment with access to internet,
  • move the tarball from the public environment to your private environment. The specifics depends on your company,
  • use galaxy collection install with the tarball file in your private environment.

There are two ways to download the collection tarball:

  • CLI: galaxy collection download <collection_path>
  • GUI: using the Ansible Galaxy web site, locate the collection of interest and click the Download tarball button.

Example

ansible-galaxy collection download netapp.cloudmanager

Transfer file, then install it:

ansible-galaxy collection install collections/netapp-cloudmanager-21.3.0.tar.gz

If you see a certificate issue when accessing galaxy, you can update your certificate, or disable the security check (at your own risk!): -c, --ignore-certs Ignore SSL certificate validation errors.

If a collection is already installed, use the --force option to force an update if needed.
