 # Ansible Modules for Dell EMC Unity
 
-The Ansible Modules for Dell EMC Unity allow Data Center and IT administrators to use RedHat Ansible to automate and orchestrate the configuartion and management of Dell EMC Unity arrays.
+The Ansible Modules for Dell EMC Unity allow Data Center and IT administrators to use RedHat Ansible to automate and orchestrate the configuration and management of Dell EMC Unity arrays.
 
-The capabilities of the Ansible modules are managing consistency groups, filesystem, filesystem snapshots, NAS server, NFS export, SMB share, hosts, snapshots, snapshot schedules, storage pools and volumes; and to gather facts from the array. The options available for each are list, show, create, modify and delete. These tasks can be executed by running simple playbooks written in yaml syntax. The modules are written so that all the operations are idempotent, so making multiple identical requests has the same effect as making a single request.

 ## Support
 Ansible modules for Unity are supported by Dell EMC and are provided under the terms of the license attached to the source code. Dell EMC does not provide support for any source code modifications. For any Ansible module issues, questions or feedback, join the [Dell EMC Automation community](https://www.dell.com/community/Automation/bd-p/Automation).

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

 ## Running Ansible Modules
-The Ansible server must be configured with Python library for Unity to run the Ansible playbooks. The [Documents]( https://github.com/dell/ansible-unity/tree/1.1.0/dellemc_ansible/docs ) provide information on different Ansible modules along with their functions and syntax. The parameters table in the Product Guide provides information on various parameters which needs to be configured before running the modules.
