Summary

Create a new qtree within a specified ONTAP storage volume, configuring its name, security style, export policy, and Unix permissions.

Inputs

  • Cluster Host (required) — Hostname or IP address of the ONTAP cluster management LIF to connect to.
  • Port — HTTPS port number for the ONTAP REST API, defaulting to 443.
  • Volume (required) — The volume UUID in which to create the qtree.
  • Qtree Name (required) — Name for the new qtree to be created.
  • Security Style (required) — Security style of the qtree; options are Unix, NTFS, or Mixed.
  • Export Policy — Optional export policy name to apply to the qtree.
  • Unix Permissions — Unix permissions for the qtree, specified as a numeric value (e.g., 755).
  • Options.Fields — Comma-separated list of fields to include in the response (use * for all fields).

Output shape

a single record representing the created qtree or the job status if asynchronous

If the ONTAP cluster API returns a job, this operation will wait for job completion before returning. The output is the qtree details or job result as JSON.

Examples

Example 1: Create a qtree named 'projects' with Unix security style and default permissions under a specified volume

Specify the Cluster Host and Port, select the target Volume by UUID, enter 'projects' as Qtree Name, choose 'Unix' for Security Style, optionally set Export Policy, and provide Unix Permissions (default 755).
