Before provisioning file shares or LUNs, you must verify whether the clusters have Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs) created on them.

datacenter | GET |
/datacenter/svm/svms /datacenter/svm/svms/{key} |
curl -X GET "https://<hostname>/api/datacenter/svm/svms" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Basic <Base64EncodedCredentials>"
If the SVM key is not returned, then create the SVM. For creating the SVMs, you require the cluster key on which you provision the SVM. You also need to specify the SVM name. Follow these steps.

datacenter | GET | /datacenter/cluster/clusters /datacenter/cluster/clusters/{key} |
Get the cluster key.
curl -X GET "https://<hostname>/api/datacenter/cluster/clusters" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Basic <Base64EncodedCredentials>"
From the output, get the cluster key, and then use it as an input for creating the SVM.

datacenter | POST | /datacenter/svm/svms |
Enter the SVM object details as input parameters.

The JSON output displays a Job object key that you can use to verify the SVM that you created.
Verify the SVM creation by using the job object key for query. If the SVM is created successfully, the SVM key is returned in the response.
