api_username - / required |  | The username to authenticate with the SANtricity WebServices Proxy or embedded REST API.
hosts - |  | a list of host names/labels to add to the group
id - |  | The id number of the host group to manage. Either this or `name` must be supplied.
name - |  | The name of the host group to manage. Either this or `id_num` must be supplied.

        ssid: "{{ ssid }}"
        api_url: "{{ netapp_api_url }}"
        api_username: "{{ netapp_api_username }}"

## Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key | Returned | Description
--- | --- | ---
clusterRef string | always except when state is absent | The unique identification value for this object. Other objects may use this reference value to refer to the cluster. Sample: 3233343536373839303132333100000000000000
confirmLUNMappingCreation boolean | always | If true, indicates that creation of LUN-to-volume mappings should require careful confirmation from the end-user, since such a mapping will alter the volume access rights of other clusters, in addition to this one.
hosts list | always except when state is absent | A list of the hosts that are part of the host group after all operations. Sample: ['HostA', 'HostB']
id string | always except when state is absent | The id number of the hostgroup Sample: 3233343536373839303132333100000000000000
isSAControlled boolean | always except when state is absent | If true, indicates that I/O accesses from this cluster are subject to the storage array's default LUN-to-volume mappings. If false, indicates that I/O accesses from the cluster are subject to cluster-specific LUN-to-volume mappings.
label string | always | The user-assigned, descriptive label string for the cluster. Sample: MyHostGroup
name string | always except when state is absent | same as label Sample: MyHostGroup
protectionInformationCapableAccessMethod boolean | always except when state is absent | This field is true if the host has a PI capable access method. Sample: True
