* Define netapp_e_mgmt_interface storage module.
The netapp_e_mgmt_interface module provides management configuration for
e-series storage array interface points including remote ssh access, NTP
and DNS services.
This patch also includes integration and unit tests.
* Fix netapp_e_mgmt_interface ssh option documentation and name/channel exclusivity.
Email alerts can be enabled for an E-Series system to provide
information to interested users by email when a warning or critical
level event occurs on the system. This module will allow a system owner
to configure whether or not system alerts are enabled, and who will
receive them.
* New module for NTAP E-Series iSCSI Interfaces
Define a new module for configuring NetApp E-Series iSCSI interfaces.
* Improve netapp_e_iscsi_interface integration tests
Restructured integration test to set all iscsi ports to disabled, then
defines the ports either statically or with dhcp, next updates the ports
with the other definition type (static <-> dhcp), and lastly disables
all ports. Each netapp_eseries_iscsi_interface call is verified with the
array.
* Define NetApp E-Series ASUP module
ASUP, or Auto-Support, is a mechanism that allows NetApp support
to receive information on the status of E-Series storage-systems
in order to proactively resolve issues for customers. This module
gives customers the ability to tune ASUP settings to their liking,
including disabling the feature entirely.
* Improved testing for netapp_e_asup module
Added coverage and validation to asup integration and unit testing
There are multiple settings that are defined at a global level for
E-Series systems, but don't necessarily fit with anything else. This
module is intended to provide a place to encapsulate those.
* Resolve issues in NetApp E-Series Host module
The E-Series host module had some bugs relating to the update/creation
of host definitions when iSCSI initiators when included in the
configuration. This patch resolves this and other minor issues with
correctly detecting updates.
There were also several minor issues found that were causing issues with
truly idepotent updates/changes to the host definition.
This patch also provides some unit tests and integration tests to help
catch future issues in these areas.
fixes#28272
* Improve NetApp E-Series Host module testing
The NetApp E-Series Host module integration test lacked feature test
verification to verify the changes made to the storage array.
The NetApp E-Series rest api was used to verify host create, update, and
remove changes made to the NetApp E-Series storage arrays.

yum will fail on 'No space left on device', fixes#32791 (#40737)
During the installing of packages if yum runs out of free disk space,
some post install scripts could fail (like e.g. when the kernel
package generates initramfs), but yum would still exit with a status
0. This is bad, especially for the kernel package, because it makes
it unable to boot. Because the yum module is usually used for
automation, which means the users cannot read every message yum
prints, it's better that the yum module fails if it detects that
there is no free space on the disk.

Now that we don't need to worry about python-2.4 and 2.5, we can make
some improvements to the way AnsiballZ handles modules.
* Change AnsiballZ wrapper to use import to invoke the module
We need the module to think of itself as a script because it could be
coded as:
main()
or as:
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Or even as:
if __name__ == '__main__':
random_function_name()
A script will invoke all of those. Prior to this change, we invoked
a second Python interpreter on the module so that it really was
a script. However, this means that we have to run python twice (once
for the AnsiballZ wrapper and once for the module). This change makes
the module think that it is a script (because __name__ in the module ==
'__main__') but it's actually being invoked by us importing the module
code.
There's three ways we've come up to do this.
* The most elegant is to use zipimporter and tell the import mechanism
that the module being loaded is __main__:
* 5959f11c9d/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py (L175)
* zipimporter is nice because we do not have to extract the module from
the zip file and save it to the disk when we do that. The import
machinery does it all for us.
* The drawback is that modules do not have a __file__ which points
to a real file when they do this. Modules could be using __file__
to for a variety of reasons, most of those probably have
replacements (the most common one is to find a writable directory
for temporary files. AnsibleModule.tmpdir should be used instead)
We can monkeypatch __file__ in fom AnsibleModule initialization
but that's kind of gross. There's no way I can see to do this
from the wrapper.
* Next, there's imp.load_module():
* https://github.com/abadger/ansible/blob/340edf7489/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py#L151
* imp has the nice property of allowing us to set __name__ to
__main__ without changing the name of the file itself
* We also don't have to do anything special to set __file__ for
backwards compatibility (although the reason for that is the
drawback):
* Its drawback is that it requires the file to exist on disk so we
have to explicitly extract it from the zipfile and save it to
a temporary file
* The last choice is to use exec to execute the module:
* https://github.com/abadger/ansible/blob/f47a4ccc76/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py#L175
* The code we would have to maintain for this looks pretty clean.
In the wrapper we create a ModuleType, set __file__ on it, read
the module's contents in from the zip file and then exec it.
* Drawbacks: We still have to explicitly extract the file's contents
from the zip archive instead of letting python's import mechanism
handle it.
* Exec also has hidden performance issues and breaks certain
assumptions that modules could be making about their own code:
http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2011/2/1/exec-in-python/
Our plan is to use imp.load_module() for now, deprecate the use of
__file__ in modules, and switch to zipimport once the deprecation
period for __file__ is over (without monkeypatching a fake __file__ in
via AnsibleModule).
* Rename the name of the AnsiBallZ wrapped module
This makes it obvious that the wrapped module isn't the module file that
we distribute. It's part of trying to mitigate the fact that the module
is now named __main)).py in tracebacks.
* Shield all wrapper symbols inside of a function
With the new import code, all symbols in the wrapper become visible in
the module. To mitigate the chance of collisions, move most symbols
into a toplevel function. The only symbols left in the global namespace
are now _ANSIBALLZ_WRAPPER and _ansiballz_main.

Currently the parted module doesn't take into account names with

Also, when the esp flag is set, parted infers the boot flag and the
parted module did not previously account for this. This lead to
non-idempotent transactions as well.
