Can you invoke all the APis on a vfiler using vfiler tunnelling?

While its great to be able to run the api equivalent of the vfiler context command, the reason given was because in order to issue API calls to a vfiler you needed both the IP and user information for both the vfiler and the hosting filer. I just did some tests with zexplore directly to a vfiler IP address and it worked exactly the way I would expect. I didnt need any infomation about/for the hosting filer.

Am I misreading things here, or is the information out of date ?

I have an application that I origianlly wrote to apply quotas to a windows server. We have since migrated all the users to NetApp filers that are using vFilers to house the home directories.

I have followed the information in this thread and in the sample code supplied. When I try to set the quotas, it is still applying them to the phiscial filer and not the vFiler. I have traced thru the program and watched the elements as the variables are being assigned and all looks correct. Due to securtiy in our environment, HTTP has been disabled on all our filers and my applications use RPC for the API style.

Any suggestions?

Here is the code. I am reading a file to get the user and quota info. for this code i removed that part.

int CSetNetAppQuotasDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()

{

na_server_t* s = NULL;

na_elem_t* out = NULL;

char err[256];

int use_rpc = 0;

char szVFiler[32];

char* pVFiler;

char szUserName[128];

char szQtree[32];

char szQtreeType[16];

char szVol[32];

char *szFileBuf;

char szQuota[32];

char szQuotaThreshold[32];

long iRcdLen;

int retval;

m_bRestart = false;

long x=0;

strcpy( szUserName, "domain
unsername");

strcpy( szQtree, "");

strcpy( szQtreeType, "user");

strcpy( szFilerName, "pfilename");

strcpy( szVFiler, "vFilername");

strcpy( szVol, "vol1" );

strcpy( szQuota, "400000");

strcpy( szQuotaThreshold, "350000");

if( !bServerOpen)

{

bServerOpen = na_startup(err, sizeof(err));

return 2;

}

else

{

s= na_server_open(szFilerName,1,7); // API ver 1.7

na_server_style(s, NA_STYLE_RPC);

na_server_set_transport_type(s, NA_SERVER_TRANSPORT_HTTPS, 0);

if( strlen(szVFiler) >= 1 )

{

pVFiler = szVFiler;

retval = na_server_set_vfiler(s, szVFiler);

}

if( !retval )

{

CString szError;

szError.Format("\nError %d: %s\n", na_results_errno(out),

na_results_reason(out));

}

out = na_server_invoke( s, "quota-get-entry",

"qtree", szQtree,

"quota-target", szUserName,

"quota-type", szQtreeType,

"volume", szVol,

NULL);

int iResCode = na_results_errno(out);

if(na_results_errno(out) == EQUOTADOESNOTEXIST) // quota not found

{

out = na_server_invoke( s, "quota-add-entry",

szError.Format("\nError %d: %s\n", na_results_errno(out),

m_bRestart = true;

}

else

m_bRestart = true;

}

na_elem_free(out);

}

na_server_close(s);

fApplyQuotas.Close();

}

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the reply

The filers I'm working against are 3050Cs running OnTap 7.2.3
