Perl API error on freebsd

giprosvyaz — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:56:44 GMT

Running apitest.pl on FreeBSD 8.2 and get error "Zapi::invoke cannot connect to the socket"

the same with other test scripts

Perl: 5.10.1

SDK: 3.5.1

Ontap: 7.3.3

Everything works fine on Suse with Perl 5.8.2

and on Windows with ActivePerl

Anyone can help?

Are you able to ping ONTAP from the FreeBSD machine ? Ensure that the default port 80 used by apitest utility over HTTP is enabled from the Firewall.

Yes ping is ok and port is open

check the following options status and if its "off" you can turn it on.

"options httpd.admin.hostsequiv.enable on"

I ran into the same issue so I ended up ripping out most of the code in invoke_elem() and replacing it with a call to HTTP::Request->new()
