Hi,
does anyone have a download link for the latest OnCommand API Services which is needed when using Ontap 9.6 or earlier with vVols? On the NetApp download page it's not listed.
Regards,
Frank.
Honestly, I have never explored/used this service, but just digging about it, seems it is NOT something that is available as a 'Download' under standard download page.
It says - To install OnCommand API Services, you must download the installation shell script from the support site to a target system that is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS.
I checked the IMT: Ontap 9.6 is compatible with onCommand API -2.2
Have you followed the instructions per this doc- Downloading and installing OnCommand API Services

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I've followed the installation instructions, but they state:
And that's my problem, the oncommand API service (whether it be a script of bin file) is not available from the download site.
I see your point.
I guess there is some error in netapp documentation. I found another page, this looks like a proper page for download, but when clicked it simply logs you into the support page dashboard.
Try going here:
https://devnet.netapp.com/apiservices.php
That link indeed redirects to the support dashboard. Looks like all links to OnCommand API services are broken, but the documentation is still there.
Yes. I would advise just log a ticket with NetApp, it will be tracked faster. In the mean time, I will try and get some clarity here. Hoping OnCommand API team on the forum will take note of this issue.
Will do, thanks for the help!
No worries.
Interestingly, this is the name of the bin file, I happened to see on the Lenovo(NetApp's partner for DM series) page.
"ocapi_2.2P1_linux_x86-64.bin"
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds549523-oncommand-api-services-dm-series
It must be available somewhere on the netapp support page, most likely its broken.
