Summary

Start an FCP (Fibre Channel Protocol) service on a specified Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) in a NetApp ONTAP cluster to enable Fibre Channel SAN access.

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) where the FCP service will be started.
  • Options — Optional fields parameter specifying a comma-separated list of fields to include in the response (use * for all).

Output shape

An object representing the updated FCP service status, including any asynchronous job details if applicable.

If the API triggers an asynchronous job, the node waits until completion and returns job details. An error is thrown if the specified SVM cannot be found.

Examples

Example 1: Start the FCP service on an SVM named 'svm01'.

Specify the Cluster Host and Port credentials, set Resource to 'FCP Service', Operation to 'Start', and identify the SVM by name as 'svm01'.
