Solved! See The Solution
NMSDK is a set of libraries which make consuming the ONTAP API (a.k.a. ZAPI) easier. You would need to create an application which accepts some form of input from the user, e.g. JSON, describing what is desired, then translate that into a request to the storage system's API...using NMSDK is one of the ways you can communicate with ONTAP. For example:
About 95% of this is handled for you with something like NSLM.
Not sure what you mean by #2. Any computer which can talk to the storage on a management LIF can accomplish that.

Hello @Divya_Jyoti_Das,
There are number of ways to address this issue...here is a completely incomplete list:
And, of course, you could create your own.
Hope that helps!

Hi,
Thanks for Posting.
1. Can you explain in more detail how can i use NMSDK to develop such application ?
2. How can i set up server which would serve the API request from Server ?
Thanks in Advance
