        # Ansible Modules for Dell Technologies PowerMax

The Ansible modules for Dell Technologies (Dell) PowerMax allow data center and IT administrators to use RedHat Ansible to automate and orchestrate the configuration and management of Dell PowerMax arrays.

The capabilities of Ansible modules are managing volumes, storage groups, ports, port groups, hosts, host groups, masking views, initiators, snapshots, SRDF links, RDF groups, Metro DR environments, jobs, snapshot policies, storage pools and gathering high-level facts about the arrays. The options available for each capability are list, show, create, delete, and modify. These tasks are performed by running simple playbooks written in YAML syntax. The modules are written so that all the operations are idempotent, therefore making multiple identical requests has the same effect as making a single request.

## Related Information

## Idempotency

The modules are written in such a way that all requests are idempotent and hence fault-tolerant. This means that the result of a successfully performed request is independent of the number of times it is performed.
