NMSDK for NFS API

carltech47 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:55:57 GMT

Hello,

I am working on buidling an application for pulling NFS client statistics. However, this API never seems to work.

I am working on a simulator running 7Mode 8.2.3. Several other NFS API's are working.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<netapp version='1.1' xmlns='http://www.netapp.com/filer/admin'>

<results reason='No statistics available for this client. ' errno='13163' status='failed'/>
</netapp>

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Have you tried enabling per client stats?

options nfs.per_client_stats.enable on

--rdp

Yes, I did.

That was the first thing I looked at.

The option is on, but when you try to run the API it fails everytime.

i think its a bug.

Any ideas?

I have a 7-Mode scripts, based on:

my $api = new NaElement('nfs-stats-top-clients-list-iter-start');
my $api1 = new NaElement('nfs-stats-top-clients-list-iter-next');

and with this "child_get("nfs-top")" list I iterate over:

my $api3 = new NaElement('nfs-stats-get-client-stats');

The problem I had... as the 'nfs-stats-get-client-stats' needs IP addresses and as some of our NFS clients do not have DNS reverse entries, I had to implement a "catch" function which adds an local entry into the NetApps /etc/hosts file, sleeps a bit and starts all over again 😮
