Summary

Create a Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) service for a specified Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) on a NetApp ONTAP cluster, optionally specifying a target name (WWNN).

Inputs

  • Cluster Host (required) — The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP cluster management LIF.
  • Port — HTTPS port for the ONTAP REST API, defaults to 443.
  • SVM (required) — The name of the Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) for which to create the FCP service.
  • Target Name — Target name (World Wide Node Name). Leave empty to allow auto-generation.
  • Options — Collection options including 'Fields' to specify which response fields to include, using a comma-separated list or * for all.

Output shape

a single JSON object representing the created FCP service with job tracking if the operation is asynchronous

If the creation triggers an asynchronous job, the node waits for job completion and returns job details. Errors during creation are returned as failure messages.

Examples

Example 1: Create an FCP service for the SVM named 'svm1' with an optional target name '500a098299cc1234'

Set 'Cluster Host' with the cluster management IP/hostname, select resource 'FCP Service', operation 'Create', specify 'svm1' as SVM name, and '500a098299cc1234' as Target Name.
