Error trying set up HTTP acces at a SVM

Ivo14 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:48:11 GMT

Dear all,

i try setting up HTTP access at a SVM. Using parts of this doku_:

https://documents.uow.edu.au/~blane/netapp/ontap/filesag/accessing/task/t_oc_accs_HTTP_enabling_or_disabling_the_HTTP_server.html#t_oc_accs_HTTP_enabling_or_disabling_the_HTTP_server

But I got the error: "Option "httpd.enable" is not supported."

How could I solve this problem?

I think you are trying 7-mode Data Ontap command on cDOT/ONTAP.

You mentioned SVM, so it has to be ONTAP 9.x, try:
::> set adv [Go to advanced shell]
::> system services web show [check if it says http enabled :false]
::> system services web modify -http-enabled true

Hi,

yes it´s ONTAP 9. I try this but afterwards the options httpd.enable on at specific SVM fails again:

"Option "httpd.enable" is not supported."

So this does not solve the problem

What do you mean by specific SVM ? What are you trying to achieve ? Can you elaborate.

I try this:

options -option-name httpd.enable -vserver xxx -option-value on

Reason as described above, I will activate the ONTAP internal HTTP access at Files

Are you familiar with ONTAP 9.x ? Please see the following doc.

Configure access to web services:

This described ONTAP Cluster Administration and belongs not the SVM administration

ONTAP 9 (no version of clustered ONTAP for that matter) supports the HTTP server for general use. That was a 7-mode protocol that Netapp dropped with Clustered ONTAP
