This issue is related to NMSDK while running api “net-cluster-ping”, it is giving false result even when LIF is down ping result shows passed but actual CLI command run from the cluster fails.
NMSDK : 9.4
Ontap: 9.1P5
API:
==========================================================================================
import sys
sys.path.append("<path_to_nmsdk_root>/lib/python/NetApp")
from NaServer import *
s = NaServer("<cluster>", 1 , 110)
s.set_server_type("FILER")
s.set_transport_type("HTTPS")
s.set_port(443)
s.set_style("LOGIN")
s.set_admin_user("admin", "<password>")
# Ping an IP address to verify whether the interface is alive
api = NaElement("net-cluster-ping")
# Specifies IPv4 address of the destination.
api.child_add_string("destination-address","<ip>")
# Specifies the LIF from which the ping request is to be sent. This element must be specified with interface-owner, and it is mutually exclusive with element node.
api.child_add_string("interface","<test_lif>")
# Specifies the name of the owning vserver of the logical interface (LIF).
api.child_add_string("interface-owner","<test_vserver>")
# Specifies the number of ECHO_REQUEST retries for the given destination address. Ping stops upon first successful reply from the destination. Default: 20
api.child_add_string("retry-count","5")
# Specifies inter packet time interval (secs) for sending ECHO_REQUEST. Default: 1
api.child_add_string("wait","3")
# Specifies the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for each ping response. Default: 10000 (10 secs)
api.child_add_string("wait-response","3")
xo = s.invoke_elem(api)
if (xo.results_status() == "failed") :
print ("Error:\n")
print (xo.sprintf())
sys.exit (1)
print ("Received:\n")
print (xo.sprintf())
