I have made extensive use of the SDK with both OnTAP and UM, and I'm "translating" these to REST. So far, it's been relatively painless, but:
I need to be able to query UM for the same sort of information that was available via the SDK call "disk_iter". I can't find an equivalent, nor can I locate another endpoint that would provide this sort of information.
So far this is the only glaring omission in the set of REST endpoints that I have found for UM, but there may be more to come as I progress with the translation. I'm largely only translating calls that I'm actually using more frequently at this time, others will come later.
On a side note, I've also observed that SnapMirror-related REST calls take an inordinate amount of time to respond, especially if you don't specify a filter on the returned attributes. An SDK call that takes seconds to respond with a complete data set can take 30 minutes to respond under REST, and the results have to be harvested in "bits and pieces" due to the timeouts involved, even when they are set to the max (120 seconds as I recall). It's difficult to understand why this would occur.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
