ONTAP Rest API Discussions

snapmirror list destinations returns incomplete data

Hi all,

 

We have an interesting case here where some volumes' relationships are not listed in snapmirror list-destinations REST api.

 

However, these volumes' relationships are clearly visible and present in both ontap console and REST api CLI passthru as described below.

 

The problematic volume used in this case is SL10248 but there are more.  Our ontap is  NetApp Release 9.7P13: Thu Apr 15 02:06:46 UTC 2021

 

Check the SL10248 relationships using ontap CLI, observe two relationships present

con-svm-201::> snapmirror list-destinations -source-volume SL10248 -instance

              Source Path: con-svm-201:SL10248

Check the SL10248 relationships using REST API CLI passtgrough. Observe two relationships present, same as above:

simacr@simacr-linux:~$ curl --insecure --user user:pass "https://con-svm-201/api/private/cli/snapmirror/list-destinations?source-volume=SL10248&fields=relationship_id"
{
  "records": [
    {
      "source_path": "con-svm-201:SL10248",
      "source_vserver": "con-svm-201",
      "source_volume": "SL10248",
      "destination_path": "con-svm-201_SVMDR:SL10248",
      "destination_vserver": "con-svm-201_SVMDR",
      "destination_volume": "SL10248",
      "relationship_id": "32747509-db36-11eb-b628-00a098997ee7"
    },
    {
      "source_path": "con-svm-201:SL10248",
      "source_vserver": "con-svm-201",
      "source_volume": "SL10248",
      "destination_path": "rt1aae:SL10248",
      "destination_vserver": "rt1aae",
      "destination_volume": "SL10248",
      "relationship_id": "fa107abb-aab8-11e7-9c1c-00a098b72ab5"
    }
  ],
  "num_records": 2
}simacr@simacr-linux:~$

Check the snapmirror relationships using proper REST API call. List all relationships to avoid filtering ambiguities. Redirect to file due to size. Grep the output for SL10248 AND by UUID to confirm the missing relationships. Show the output sample to prove the output contains valid data, but incomplete regarding SL10248:

simacr@simacr-linux:~$ curl --insecure --user user:pass "https://con-svm-201/api/snapmirror/relationships/?list_destinations_only=true&fields=source" >o

I am not an expert on REST API, but just had a glance at the REST API call you shared,
curl --insecure --user user:pass "https://con-svm-201/api/snapmirror/relationships/?list_destinations_only=true&fields=source"

 

For fields, should it contain:
fields=destination,source

Instead of just - fields=source (In your script) ?

I only specified 'source' to ensure brevity of the output. The absence or presence of fields specified does not affect the problem of missing volume which I tried to point to here. Ultimate search for missing volume relationships is done by source AND by uuid and none was found.
