AIQUM REST "Unable to parse filter parameter attribute : fields"

AllenTR — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:58:10 GMT

Reading the documentation this query should work

https://<AIQUM>/api/datacenter/storage/volumes?state=online&fields=name

it returns

error
message	"Unable to parse filter parameter attribute : fields"
target	"fields"
code	null

curl has the same result (as I expected, but hopped differently)

/api/datacenter/storage/volumes?state=online&fields=name" -H "accept....

{"error":{"message":"Unable to parse filter parameter attribute : fields","target":"fields","code":null}}

Just using

https://<AQIUM>/api/datacenter/storage/volumes?fields=name

fails the same way

It appears to me that the docs shows that as valid syntax

What am I missing?

Hi @AllenTR

What example / documentation are you referring too?

I am not sure what "field" is suppose to be referencing, so any link back to relevant documentation that might be causing this confusion would be helpful.

If you take a look at the API guide, https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMLP2876865/html/index.html#/datacenter/volume_collection_get you can see what parameters are included with that particular GET call.

Hi,

Looking in the AIQUM swagger UI at the /datacenter/storage/volumes API, there is no parameter called "fields" (that's why it's throwing an error). The API works fine without it. EG

https://<hostname>/api/datacenter/storage/volumes?state=online

I'm assuming you only want to return the names of the online volumes? Why not just parse the volume names from the JSON output?

Sorry I should have left a better example. After looking at it again I may have been mixing my search hits with ONTAP REST and AIQUM REST

https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-automation/pdfs/sidebar/REST_implementation_details.pdf

It looks to be an option in ONTAP but not AIQUM.

No worries @AllenTR glad to hear the confusion has been cleared up.
