Cluster

You can use these API calls to manage ONTAP clusters and the related resources.

Capacity pools​

The capacity pools licensing model allows you to license storage capacity for each cluster node from a shared pool. This resource type is new with ONTAP 9.8.

Clusters​

An ONTAP cluster contains one or more nodes and the related configuration settings which define the storage system. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.6.

Chassis​

The chassis is the hardware framework supporting a cluster. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.6.

Firmware​

You can retrieve a history of the firmware update requests. This resource type is new with ONTAP 9.8.

Jobs​

Asynchronous API calls are performed by a background task anchored by a job. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.6.

License managers​

You can manage configuration and other information related to each license manager instance associated with an ONTAP cluster. This resource type is new with ONTAP 9.8.

Licenses​

The licenses allow you to implement specific ONTAP features and functionality. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.6.

License instance​

Each license can be managed as a separate package. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.6.

Mediators​

You can manage the mediator associated with MetroCluster, including adding or removing the mediator instance. This resource type is new with ONTAP 9.8.

MetroCluster​

You can create and manage a MetroCluster deployment, including executing switchover or switchback operations. This resource type is new with ONTAP 9.8.

MetroCluster diagnostics​

You can perform a diagnostic operation on a MetroCluster deployment and retrieve the results. This resource type is new with ONTAP 9.8.

MetroCluster DR groups​

You can perform operations related to the MetroCluster DR groups. This resource type is new with ONTAP 9.8.

MetroCluster interconnects​

You can retrieve the MetroCluster interconnect status. This resource type is new with ONTAP 9.8.

MetroCluster nodes​

You can retrieve the status of the individual nodes in a MetroCluster deployment. This resource type is new with ONTAP 9.8.

MetroCluster operations​

You can retrieve a list of the recently executed operations for a MetroCluster configuration. This resource type is new with ONTAP 9.8.

Nodes​

ONTAP clusters are composed of one or more nodes. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.6 and updated with ONTAP 9.8.

NTP keys​

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) can be configured to use shared private keys between ONTAP and trusted external NTP time servers. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.7.

NTP server​

You can use these API calls to configure the ONTAP Network Time Protocol settings, including the external NTP servers and keys. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.7.

Peers​

The peer objects represent endpoints and support the cluster peering relationships. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.6.

Schedules​

Schedules can be used to automate the perform of tasks. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.6.
