NetApp ONTAP SANInstall

Summary

Create a new Fibre Channel (FC) interface on a NetApp ONTAP cluster by specifying its properties, including name, SVM, home node, home port, and data protocol.

Inputs

• Cluster Host (required) — Hostname or IP address of the ONTAP cluster management LIF.
• Port — HTTPS port for the ONTAP REST API (default is 443).
• Name (required) — Name of the FC interface to create.
• SVM (required) — Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) by name to associate the FC interface with.
• Home Node (required) — Home node (by name) where the FC interface resides.
• Home Port (required) — FC port name (e.g., '0a') of the home port for the interface.
• Data Protocol — Data protocol used by the FC interface: FCP or FC-NVMe (default is FCP).
• Options — Additional options such as specifying which fields to include in the response via a comma-separated list.

Output shape

a JSON object representing the created FC interface details, including an asynchronous job status if applicable

If the API creates the interface asynchronously, the operation polls the job until completion and returns the detailed job result alongside the interface data.

Examples

Example 1: Create a new FC interface named 'fc1' on SVM 'svm1' with home node 'node1', home port '0a', using the FCP data protocol on the cluster at 'cluster.example.com'.

Set 'Cluster Host' to 'cluster.example.com', 'Name' to 'fc1', 'SVM' mode to 'By Name' with value 'svm1', 'Home Node' mode to 'By Name' with value 'node1', 'Home Port' to '0a', and 'Data Protocol' to 'FCP'.
