DFM Webservice vs NDK - Host-List-Info-Iter-* Service-Statuses Differences?

samz_alloys — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:24:12 GMT

I'm curious if there's an intentional difference in behavior between the NDK (say as used via ZExplore) and the Web Services (SOAP-base) API with respect to the service-status element/object returned from the host-list-into-iter-* calls to the DFM?

When using the NDK-based calls I get a list of service-statuses that contain both the service and it's status:

<service-statuses>

<service-status>

</service-status>

<service-status>

</service-status>

<service-status>

<service>iscsi</service>

</service-status>

</service-statuses>

However when using the Web Services calls I get back what is equivalent to:

<service-statuses>

<service-status>

</service-status>

<service-status>

</service-status>

<service-status>

<service>iscsi</service>

</service-status>

</service-statuses>

Note there is no indication of status. This is despite the documentation implying otherwise:

It looks like one needs to to use the vfiler-allowed-protocols array to know what the service status is for vFiler at least. It appears to match what is "up" for a vFiler using the NDK-based data.

Any thoughts or clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I tried the same and got the same results as stated above. To the best of my knowledge this should not happen and this might be a bug.

I will report this with the respective team.

Sounds good.

Thanks for taking a look and investigating the possibility of a bug.
