version: 1.28.0Manage BIG-IP module provisioning. This module will only provision at the standard levels of Dedicated, Nominal, and Minimum.
- name: Provision PEM at "nominal" level

server: lb.mydomain.com
password: secret

- name: Provision a dedicated SWG. This will unprovision every other module

level:
choices:
- dedicated
- nominal
- minimum
default: nominal
description:
- Sets the provisioning level for the requested modules. Changing the level for one
module may require modifying the level of another module. For example, changing
one module to C(dedicated) requires setting all others to C(none). Setting the level
of a module to C(none) means the module is not activated.
- Use a C(state) of B(absent) to set c(level) to none and de-provision the module.
- This parameter is not relevant to C(cgnat - pre tmos 15.0) or C(mgmt) and will not
be applied to the C(cgnat - pre tmos 15.0) or C(mgmt) module.
type: str
state:
choices:
- present
- absent
default: present
description:
- The state of the provisioned module on the system. When C(present), guarantees the
specified module is provisioned at the requested level, provided there are sufficient
resources on the device (such as physical RAM) to support the module.
- When C(absent), de-provision the module.
- C(absent), is not a relevent option for the C(mgmt) module, as it can not be de-provisioned.
type: str
memory:
description:
- Sets additional memory for the management module. This is in addition to minimum
allocated RAM of 1264MB.
- The accepted value range is C(0 - 8192). Maximum value is restricted by the available
RAM in the system.
- Specifying C(large) reserves an additional 500MB for the mgmt module.
- Specifying C(medium) reserves an additional 200MB for the mgmt module.
- Specifying C(small) reserves no additional RAM for the mgmt module.
- Use C(large) for configurations containing more than 2000 objects, or more specifically,
for any configuration that exceeds 1000 objects per 2 GB of installed memory. Changing
the Management C(mgmt) size after initial provisioning causes a reprovision operation.
