as part of a qtree provisioning workflow. Anyone know the zapi calls to use, or for that matter, a list of DFM zapi calls available?

Hi,

   All of DFM and ONTAP zapi/api are documented in NMSDK.

IIRC the api for comment should be dfm-comment-*.

I don't think the dfm-comment-* api's are available as commands in WFA out of the box.

So you may have to create the same for comment field create and set.

Regards,

Adai

Hi Stephen,

Looks like you already have new custom comment fields defined in DFM and want to populate it for qtrees through a WFA workflow.

The exact API name in DFM to achieve that is "comment-set-object-value".

You would need a custom command to do it and there is a good example command/workflow already available to do that in this post:

There are also some more details around comment fields of DFM at this post:

Thanks,

Hi Stephen,

To add to what Shailaja said, you should use the workflow & command contained in the first post she listed.  That should be exactly what you are looking for.

Best,

Kevin
