Hello,   I noticed that in migration guide to the REST api there is no equivalent for the perf-object-get-instances or any of the performance counters that are used in the ontap api. Furthermore, it appears that the /private/cli api does not respond to `statistics aggregate show` for instance if I'm using `/private/cli/statistics/aggregate` for instance. Is there a remedy for this or is my only option to continue to use the ontapapi?   Please advice.   Thanks, Thomas ... View more

Hi guys,   I would like to automate volume cloning by RestAPI.  It should not run as admin, only with needed permission on SVM level. Following rest-role is created:   Users are defines as follows: security login show -user-or-group-name DOM\storage Vserver: Cluster1 Second User/Group Authentication Acct Authentication Name Application Method Role Name Locked Method -------------- ----------- ------------- ---------------- ------ -------------- DOM\storage http domain readonly - none Vserver: SVM1 Second User/Group Authentication Acct Authentication Name Application Method Role Name Locked Method -------------- ----------- ------------- ---------------- ------ -------------- DOM\storage http domain ExchangeRestore - none   Rest Role: security login rest-role show -vserver SVM1 -role ExchangeRestore Role Access Vserver Name API Level ---------- ------------- ------------------- ------ SVM1 ExchangeRestore /api/protocols/san readonly /api/protocols/san/lun-maps all /api/storage readonly /api/storage/luns all /api/storage/volumes all /api/svm readonly   It works for Read of LUN / Volume / Snapshot. It doesn't work for Volume POST operation (vol clone).  In this case, an log-in window in the browser opens and asking for login. There are somewhere permissions missing.   Is there a way to debug the RestAPI?   Marcis ... View more

got this error when he tried to run a Rest API Call for /api/storage/volume 00000005.000173e6 0020e504 Tue Apr 28 2020 04:53:02 -07:00 [kern_audit:info:2238] 8503e8000001567f :: ec1_netapp_cvo_ls_prod_dr_ext:CSODMGMT\svc-ls-cvo-iac :: GET /api/storage/volume :: Error: Forbidden Error for this user was 403 – Forbidden …. RBAC. /api/storage/volume { "error": { "message": "not authorized for that command" "code": "6" } } Workaround provided: Create a exact same role from ONTAP CLI and associate with user and it works fine. Steps Taken: Test with the affected user – doesn't work. Test with admin user – worked fine. Test with same role capabilities on another cluster – works fine. Create a new role with same capabilities from CLI – works fine. Re-associate user to old role with same capabilities as old role – fails. Old role created by Ansible – works fine on another cluster with same version. developed some python code that makes REST calls. This code did work and nothing has changed. If you check the logs, you can see REST call on the 20th April that were successful. Commands used to create the role : security login rest-role create -vserver CVO_Prod -role cvo-rest-test -api /api/storage/volumes -access all security login rest-role create -vserver CVO_Prod -role cvo-rest-test -api /api/protocols/cifs/shares -access all security login rest-role create -vserver CVO_Prod -role cvo-rest-test -api /api/cluster/jobs -access all Data collected related to both role : old one created by ansible and worked before, new one created by CLI as workaround   Any ideas ?   Thanks. ...
