Manage ONTAP Api doc

 

Hi,

 

 

In Api document , there is one option which tells

 

 

<span style="padding: 0pt;background-color: yellow;display: inline">Vfiler</span>-enabled

Yes

 

 

If the any api has that option " Vfiler-enabled yes" then that api is supported on the V-filer.

 

 

For example

 

snapmirror-get-volume-status

[[file:///C:/netapp/netapps_doc/Sdk_Doc/manage-ontap-sdk-1.6/doc/ontapi/ontapi_1 .6/snapmirror/index.html#the_top]

<!----


-- API Summary


>

|Return SnapMirror status values for a given volume. All of the status values are returned simultaneously.|

|Input Name|Type|Description|

volume

javascript:alert('The field is a sequence of characters, UTF8 encoded.');

Name of the volume to be queried.

Output Name

Type

Description

is-destination

True if the volume is a SnapMirror destination.

is-source

True if the volume is a SnapMirror source.

is-transfer-broken

True if a SnapMirror transfer state as a destination
volume has been stopped due the snapmirror break command or the
snapmirror-break API.

is-transfer-in-progress

True if a SnapMirror transfer as a destinaion or source volume is currently in progress.

|Errno|

EVOLUMEOFFLINE

EVOLUMEDOESNOTEXIST

<span style="padding: 0pt;background-color: yellow;display: inline">Vfiler</span>-enabled

Yes

 

So The Snap-mirror get volume status will get the information from Vfiler since Vfiler-enabled is yes.

 

 

Please correct me if i am wrong.

Re: Manage ONTAP Api doc

You can invoke all the Vfiler-enabled API's on a vfiler using vfiler tunneling feature.

Re: Manage ONTAP Api doc

All the Vfiler enabled APIs can be invoked on the vfiler either directly making API call on the Vfiler or by using vFiler tunneling feature.

Re: Manage ONTAP Api doc

 

All the APIs cannot be queried on vFiler, few APIs are made available on the vFiler. APIs which has information "Vfiler-enabled Yes" indicates the API can be invoked on the vFiler.

 

 

The API snapmirror-get-volume-status can be invoked on a vFiler as it contains "Vfiler-enabled Yes".

Re: Manage ONTAP Api doc

HTTP is the vfiler avaliable protocol for the vfiler direct API query, the same will not work for HTTPS protocol. If you want to make HTTPS call for a Vfiler-Enabled API ,then you have to use Vfiler tunneling feature.
