 short_description: NetApp E-Series retrieve facts about NetApp E-Series storage arrays
 description:
     - The netapp_e_facts module returns a collection of facts regarding NetApp E-Series storage arrays.
-    - When contacting a storage array directly the collection includes details about the array, controllers, management
-      interfaces, hostside interfaces, driveside interfaces, disks, storage pools, volumes, snapshots, and features.
-    - When contacting a web services proxy the collection will include basic information regarding the storage systems
-      that are under its management.
