Overview

Fibre Channel (FC) interfaces are the logical endpoints for FC network connections to an SVM. An FC interface provides FC access to storage within the interface SVM using either Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) or NVMe over FC (NVMe/FC).
The FC interface REST API allows you to create, delete, update, and discover FC interfaces, and obtain status information for FC interfaces.
An FC interface is created on an FC port which is located on a cluster node. The FC port must be specified to identify the location of the interface for a POST or PATCH request that relocates an interface. You can identify the port by supplying either the node and port names or the port UUID.

Performance monitoring

Performance of an FC interface can be monitored by observing the metric.* and statistics.* properties. These properties show the performance of an FC interface in terms of IOPS, latency, and throughput. The metric.* properties denote an average, whereas statistics.* properties denote a real-time monotonically increasing value aggregated across all nodes.

Interface placement recommendations

The FC interface REST API can also recommend the placement (cluster nodes and FC ports) for FC interfaces for a new or existing SVM as well as evaluate caller-proposed locations for FC interfaces. This functionality is available to cluster administators only and is accessed using GET /network/fc/interfaces with the recommend family of query parameters.
The query parameter recommend.data_protocol is required when getting recommendations or evaluating caller-proposed locations for FC interfaces. It identifies the type of FC interfaces to recommend. Other recommend query parameters are optional and are used to modify the recommendation algorithm.
If an SVM is supplied using the query parameter recommend.svm.name and/or recommend.svm.uuid, existing FC interfaces are considered as part of the overall solution and only additionally recommended interfaces are returned. If no SVM is supplied, recommendations are returned for a new SVM.
FC fabrics connected to the cluster are discovered by the API. By default, FC interfaces are placed and evaluated for each fabric. The query parameter recommend.fabrics.name can be used to identify specific FC fabrics to use.
Cluster nodes supporting FC fabric connections for the specific data protocol are discovered by the API. By default, FC interfaces are placed all supported cluster nodes. Either query parameter recommend.nodes.name or recommend.nodes.uuid can be used to identify specific cluster nodes to use.
FC interfaces for the FC-NVMe data protocol are limited to two (2) interfaces per cluster node with a maximum of four (4) nodes, within a single SVM.
Placement recommendations are best effort and limited by the information available. In situations where an optimum configuration cannot be produced, the API returns the recommendations it can along with messages describing how the caller might improve the configuration. These messages are produced by evaluating the calculated FC interface layout against best practices.
The same best practice evaluation can be applied to a caller-proposed configuration by using the query parameter recommend.proposed.locations.port.uuid to specify the locations for proposed FC interfaces. When this query parameter is supplied, the best practice evaluation is performed using the proposed interface locations and messages are produced describing how the caller might improve the configuration.

Examples

Creating an FC interface using the port node and name to identify the location

This example uses the return_records query parameter to retrieve the newly created FC interface in the POST response.

Disabling an FC interface

When updating certain properties or deleting an FC interface, the interface must first be disabled using the following:

from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
from netapp_ontap.resources import FcInterface

with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
    resource = FcInterface(uuid="f6045b92-dec7-11e8-a733-005056bba0e0")
    resource.enabled = False
    resource.patch()


Moving an FC interface to a new node and port

To move an FC interface to another node or port, the destination FC port must be specified in a PATCH request. Either the port UUID or node and port names can be used to identify the port.
Note that only FC interfaces configured for the FC Protocol can be moved. FC interfaces configured for NVMe/FC cannot be moved. The interface must also be set to the disabled state before being moved.

from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
from netapp_ontap.resources import FcInterface

with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
    resource = FcInterface(uuid="f6045b92-dec7-11e8-a733-005056bba0e0")
    resource.location = {"home_port": {"uuid": "a1dc7aa5-db83-11e8-9ef7-005056bbbbcc"}}
    resource.patch()


Deleting an FC interface

The FC interface must be disabled before being deleted.

from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
from netapp_ontap.resources import FcInterface

with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
    resource = FcInterface(uuid="f6045b92-dec7-11e8-a733-005056bba0e0")
    resource.delete()

Classes

class FcInterface (*args, **kwargs)

A Fibre Channel (FC) interface is the logical endpoint for FC network connections to an SVM. An FC interface provides FC access to storage within the interface SVM using either Fibre Channel Protocol or NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC).
An FC interface is created on an FC port which is located on a cluster node. The FC port must be specified to identify the location of the interface for a POST or PATCH operation that relocates an interface. You can identify the port by supplying either the cluster node and port names or the port UUID.

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

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.

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 list of Resource objects matching the provided type which have been created by the host and returned. This is not the same list that was provided, so to continue using the object, you should save this list. If poll is set to False, then a NetAppResponse object is returned instead.

Raises

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

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

Updates an FC interface.

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

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

Creates an FC interface.

Required properties

  • svm.uuid or svm.name - Existing SVM in which to create the FC interface.
  • name - Name of the FC interface.
  • location.port.uuid or both location.port.name and location.port.node.name - FC port on which to create the FC interface.
  • data_protocol - Data protocol for the FC interface.

Default property values

If not specified in POST, the following default property values are assigned. * enabled - true

Class variables

comment: str GET POST PATCH

A user configurable comment. Optional in POST; valid in PATCH. To clear a prior comment, set the property to an empty string in PATCH.

data_protocol: str GET POST

The data protocol for which the FC interface is configured. Required in POST.

Valid choices:

  • fcp
  • fc_nvme
enabled: bool GET POST PATCH

The administrative state of the FC interface. The FC interface can be disabled to block all FC communication with the SVM through this interface. Optional in POST and PATCH; defaults to true (enabled) in POST.

The links field of the fc_interface.

location: FcInterfaceLocation GET POST PATCH

The location field of the fc_interface.

metric: PerformanceMetricReducedThroughput GET

The metric field of the fc_interface.

name: str GET POST PATCH

The name of the FC interface. Required in POST; optional in PATCH.

Example: fc_lif1

port_address: str GET

The port address of the FC interface. Each FC port in an FC switched fabric has its own unique FC port address for routing purposes. The FC port address is assigned by a switch in the fabric when that port logs in to the fabric. This property refers to the address given by a switch to the FC interface when the SVM performs a port login (PLOGI).
This is useful for obtaining statistics and diagnostic information from FC switches.
This is a hexadecimal encoded numeric value.

Example: 5060F

state: str GET

The current operational state of the FC interface. The state is set to down if the interface is not enabled.
If the cluster node hosting the port is down or unavailable, no state value is returned.

Valid choices:

  • up
  • down
statistics: PerformanceMetricRawReducedThroughput GET

The statistics field of the fc_interface.

svm: Svm GET POST PATCH

The svm field of the fc_interface.

uuid: str GET

The unique identifier of the FC interface. Required in the URL.

Example: bce9827d-4d8f-60af-c771-6e8e9af2c6f0

wwnn: str GET

The world wide node name (WWNN) of the FC interface SVM. The WWNN is generated by ONTAP when Fibre Channel Protocol or the NVMe service is created for the FC interface SVM.

Example: 20:00:00:50:56:b4:13:01

wwpn: str GET

The world wide port name (WWPN) of the FC interface. The WWPN is generated by ONTAP when the FC interface is created.
