Microsoft Remote Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) is an extension of the existing Microsoft VSS infrastructure. Previously, VSS could be used for backup services only for data stored on the local disk. This limited the use of VSS to applications that stored data either on a local disk or on SAN-based storage. With Remote VSS, Microsoft has extended the VSS infrastructure to support the shadow copying of SMB shares. Server applications, such as, Hyper-V are now storing VHD files on SMB file shares. With these new extensions, it is possible to take application consistent shadow copies for virtual machines that store data and configuration files on shares.

Requesting the storage system to restore a directory

You set restore field to true to perform this operation. Only users with the security login role "vsadmin" can perform the operation.

# The API:
PATCH /protocols/cifs/shadow-copies?restore=true
# The call:
PATCH "api/protocols/cifs/shadow-copies?restore=true" -d "{  \"destination_dir\": \"/dir2\",  \"source_dir\": \"/src_dir\",  \"volume\": {    \"name\": \"test_vol\"  },  \"with_content\": false}"

Classes

class Shadowcopy (*args, **kwargs)

Allows interaction with Shadowcopy objects on the host

Initialize the instance of the resource.

Any keyword arguments are set on the instance as properties. For example, if the class was named 'MyResource', then this statement would be true:

MyResource(name='foo').name == 'foo'

Args

*args
Each positional argument represents a parent key as used in the URL of the object. That is, each value will be used to fill in a segment of the URL which refers to some parent object. The order of these arguments must match the order they are specified in the URL, from left to right.
**kwargs
each entry will have its key set as an attribute name on the instance and its value will be the value of that attribute.

Ancestors

Static methods

def count_collection (*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> int

Returns a count of all Shadowcopy resources that match the provided query


This calls GET on the object to determine the number of records. It is more efficient than calling get_collection() because it will not construct any objects. Query parameters can be passed in as kwargs to determine a count of objects that match some filtered criteria.

Args

*args
Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the count of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
connection
The HostConnection object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
**kwargs
Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. These query parameters can affect the count. A return_records query param will be ignored.

Returns

On success, returns an integer count of the objects of this type. On failure, returns -1.

Raises

NetAppRestError: If the API call returned a status code >= 400, or if there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library.

def find (*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> Resource

Retrieves Shadowcopies

  • vserver cifs shadowcopy show-shares

Learn more


Find an instance of an object on the host given a query.

The host will be queried with the provided key/value pairs to find a matching resource. If 0 are found, None will be returned. If more than 1 is found, an error will be raised or returned. If there is exactly 1 matching record, then it will be returned.

Args

*args
Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to find a bar for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
connection
The HostConnection object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
**kwargs
Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

Returns

A Resource object containing the details of the object or None if no matches were found.

Raises

NetAppRestError: If the API call returned more than 1 matching resource.

def get_collection (*args, connection: HostConnection = None, max_records: int = None, **kwargs) -> Iterable[Resource]

Retrieves Shadowcopies

  • vserver cifs shadowcopy show-shares

Learn more


Fetch a list of all objects of this type from the host.

This is a lazy fetch, making API calls only as necessary when the result of this call is iterated over. For instance, if max_records is set to 5, then iterating over the collection causes an API call to be sent to the server once for every 5 records. If the client stops iterating before getting to the 6th record, then no additional API calls are made.

Args

*args
Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
connection
The HostConnection object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
max_records
The maximum number of records to return per call
**kwargs
Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

Returns

A list of Resource objects

Raises

NetAppRestError: If there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library. This would be not be raised when get_collection() is called, but rather when the result is iterated.

def patch_collection (body: dict, *args, records: Iterable[_ForwardRef('Shadowcopy')] = None, poll: bool = True, poll_interval: Optional[int] = None, poll_timeout: Optional[int] = None, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse

Specify list Files to be added as a part of Shadowcopy creation

Patch all objects in a collection which match the given query.

All records on the host which match the query will be patched with the provided body.

Args

body
A dictionary of name/value pairs to set on all matching members of the collection. The body argument will be ignored if records is provided.
*args
Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to patch the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
records
Can be provided in place of a query. If so, this list of objects will be patched on the host.
poll
If set to True, the call will not return until the asynchronous job on the host has completed. Has no effect if the host did not return a job response.
poll_interval
If the operation returns a job, this specifies how often to query the job for updates.
poll_timeout
If the operation returns a job, this specifies how long to continue monitoring the job's status for completion.
connection
The HostConnection object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
**kwargs
Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. Only resources matching this query will be patched.

Returns

A NetAppResponse object containing the details of the HTTP response.

Raises

NetAppRestError: If the API call returned a status code >= 400

Methods

def get (self, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse

Retrieves a Shadowcopy

  • vserver cifs shadowcopy show-shares

Learn more


Fetch the details of the object from the host.

Requires the keys to be set (if any). After returning, new or changed properties from the host will be set on the instance.

Returns

A NetAppResponse object containing the details of the HTTP response.

Raises

NetAppRestError: If the API call returned a status code >= 400

def patch (self, hydrate: bool = False, poll: bool = True, poll_interval: Optional[int] = None, poll_timeout: Optional[int] = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse

Specify list Files to be added as a part of Shadowcopy creation

Learn more


Send the difference in the object's state to the host as a modification request.

Calculates the difference in the object's state since the last time we interacted with the host and sends this in the request body.

Args

hydrate
If set to True, after the response is received from the call, a a GET call will be made to refresh all fields of the object.
poll
If set to True, the call will not return until the asynchronous job on the host has completed. Has no effect if the host did not return a job response.
poll_interval
If the operation returns a job, this specifies how often to query the job for updates.
poll_timeout
If the operation returns a job, this specifies how long to continue monitoring the job's status for completion.
connection
The HostConnection object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
**kwargs
Any key/value pairs passed will normally be sent as query parameters to the host. If any of these pairs are parameters that are sent as formdata then only parameters of that type will be accepted and all others will be discarded.

Returns

A NetAppResponse object containing the details of the HTTP response.

Raises

NetAppRestError: If the API call returned a status code >= 400
