Summary

Restore a volume from a specified snapshot in a NetApp ONTAP cluster by setting the volume's restore target to that snapshot.

Inputs

  • Cluster Host (required) — The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP cluster management LIF.
  • Port — HTTPS port for the ONTAP REST API, defaulting to 443.
  • Volume (required) — The volume containing the snapshot to restore, specified by UUID.
  • Snapshot (required) — The snapshot to restore from, specified by UUID or by name.
  • Options — Optional parameters including a comma-separated list of fields to include in the response.

Output shape

A single JSON object representing the response from the ONTAP API, potentially including job details if the restore is asynchronous.

The snapshot can be specified either by UUID or by name; if by name, the node looks up the snapshot UUID internally. The operation modifies the volume by setting its 'restore_to' property to the chosen snapshot's UUID. If the API returns a job for the restore operation, the node will poll and wait for its completion before returning the final job details.
