Another Python Newb Question

Hi,

I try to create a python script which triggers a volume snapshot. I've downloaded the manageability-sdk 9.4 and tried some first steps with the included scripts in the /src/sample/Data_ONTAP/Python folder.

After adding

import ssl

ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

the "apitest.py" script works.

However, the "snapman.py" script won't work when invoked with:

python snap-test.py -l "vserver" "admin" "password" "/vol/V_VM01_INT_0001"

snapshot-list-info failed:Authorization failed

No snapshots on volume /vol/V_VM01_INT_0001

I tried several variations on the call but the result is the same - user/pass works with "apitest.py".

NetApp Release 9.1P11

python snap-test.py -l "system-manager" "admin" "password" "/vol/V_VM01_INT_0001"
snapshot-list-info failed:Vserver API missing vserver parameter.

No snapshots on volume /vol/V_VM01_INT_0001

EDIT:

Same problem like this thread:

It looks like you are able to connect to the cluster but not to the vserver. In order to perform the vserver level operation you have to connecto vserver. Try this

s = NaServer("cluster-name", 1 , 20)
s.set_server_type("FILER")
s.set_transport_type("HTTP")
s.set_port(80)
s.set_style("LOGIN")
s.set_admin_user("admin", "password")

s.set_vfiler("vserver-name")

Attaching ZEDI screenshot which also has option to add vserver
