Summary

Create a new iSCSI service for a specified SVM (Storage Virtual Machine) on a NetApp ONTAP cluster, optionally specifying the target name (IQN).

Inputs

  • Cluster Host (required) — Hostname or IP address of the ONTAP cluster management LIF.
  • Port — HTTPS port for the ONTAP REST API (default 443).
  • SVM (required) — The Storage Virtual Machine to associate the iSCSI service with, specified by name.
  • Target Name — Target IQN for the iSCSI service; leave empty to allow auto-generation.
  • Options — Additional options including a comma-separated list of fields to include in the response.

Output shape

a single JSON object representing the created iSCSI service, including possibly asynchronous job tracking information if applicable

The operation returns the iSCSI service resource details. If the creation triggers an asynchronous job, the node automatically polls for job completion before returning.

Examples

Example 1: Create an iSCSI service for an SVM named 'svm1' with auto-generated target name

Set 'Cluster Host', 'Port', select resource 'iSCSI Service' and operation 'Create', specify 'svm1' for SVM, leave 'Target Name' empty.
