SDK for VSC

huag — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:45:53 GMT

Hi, experts

Do we have the SDK for VSC so that we can use VSC in the other applications.

Our customer want to use the snapshot , rapid restore , rapid clone through VSC in their own applications.

Thanks!

The only thing I found was that:

But I do not get it to work, always get a 404 and there is no documentation.

Hi All,

The documentation is available in the VSC Install and Admin guide. See page 156 onwards in the "Programmable API" section.

https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_get_file/ECMP1149724

Personally i've found the API documentation to be somewhat lacking in any tangible examples...

So you may also be interested in some powershell example code i've posted below which demonstrates how to invoke VSC API's using SOAP web services.

Hope that helps

Cheers Matt

Thanks Matt,

Meanwhile , I read the VSD admin guide , and programmable API is used for provision and Clone. And How about the backup & Restore , Monitor etc, If I can just use VSC CLI , no the special API like SOAP?

Really appreciated for your help!
