REST API offers a vastly simplified and workflow-driven user experience, allowing you to perform multiple operations on the storage objects with a single API. REST is the industry standard for API development and the ONTAP REST API provides a great opportunity to automate your storage deployments.
This repository contains sample scripts illustrating how to use the ONTAP REST API. You can access the API through the use of requests library.
To install the requirements needed to run the simple script. Double click the req.sh file.
- Python 3.6 or higher
- requests 2.21.0 or later
- ONTAP 9 (NetApp storage system) or higher (untested on earlier versions)
- Install docopt
- Install prettytable
The repository folder examples/ contains sample scripts to directly access the ONTAP REST API using the requests library. You need to run each of the scripts with the appropriate parameters. Use the help provided with each script to get started. For example:
python3 create_vol.py -s <STORAGE> -vm <SVM> -VN <VOLUME> <SIZE>
