changing inode using api on c-mode and 7-mode

Is there a "how to" guide for 7 mode/C mode to change the inode number on a volume using ONTAP API

Hi Shaun,

Does this help?

https://kb.netapp.com/support/s/article/ka31A000000135pQAA/how-to-increase-the-maximum-number-of-volume-inodes-or-files

7-Mode:

SYNTAX
    Set-NaVolTotalFiles [-Name] <String> [-Controller <NaController>] [-TotalFiles] <Int32> [-Force] [<CommonParameters>]

API: volume-set-total-files

Clustered Data ONTAP:

SYNTAX
    Set-NcVolTotalFiles [-Name] <String> [-VserverContext <String>] [-Controller <NcController[]>] [-TotalFiles] <Int32> [-Force] [-ZapiRetryCount <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]

API: volume-set-total-files

It's also possible to invoke the API instead of using a PowerShell cmdlet to invoke it. Do you have any specific requirement?

Please let me know if you have any questions.
