## Overview

An initiator group (igroup) is a collection of Fibre Channel (FC) world wide port names (WWPNs), and/or iSCSI Qualified Names (IQNs), and/or iSCSI EUIs (Extended Unique Identifiers) that identify host initiators.
Initiator groups are used to control which hosts can access specific LUNs. To grant access to a LUN from one or more hosts, create an initiator group containing the host initiator names, then create a LUN map that associates the initiator group with the LUN.
The initator group REST API allows you to create, update, delete, and discover initiator groups, and add and remove initiators that can access the target and associated LUNs. An initiator can appear in multiple initiator groups. An initiator group can be mapped to multiple LUNs. A specific initiator can be mapped to a specific LUN only once.
All initiators in an initiator group must be from the same operating system. The initiator group's operating system is specified when the initiator group is created.
When an initiator group is created, the `protocol` property is used to restrict member initiators to Fibre Channel (fcp), iSCSI (iscsi), or both (mixed).
Zero or more initiators can be supplied when the initiator group is created. After creation, initiators can be added or removed from the initiator group using the `/protocols/san/igroups/{igroup.uuid}/initiators` endpoint. See `POST /protocols/san/igroups/{igroup.uuid}/initiators` and `DELETE /protocols/san/igroups/{igroup.uuid}/initiators/{name}` for more details.
An FC WWPN consist of 16 hexadecimal digits grouped as 8 pairs separated by colons. The format for an iSCSI IQN is iqn.yyyy-mm.reverse_domain_name:any. The iSCSI EUI format consists of the eui. prefix followed by 16 hexadecimal characters.

## Examples

### Creating an initiator group with no initiators

The example initiator group is for Linux iSCSI initiators only. Note that the `return_records` query parameter is used to obtain the newly created initiator group in the response.

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import Igroup

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = Igroup()
        resource.svm.name = "svm1"
        resource.name = "igroup1"
        resource.os_type = "linux"
        resource.protocol = "iscsi"
        resource.post(hydrate=True)
        print(resource)

Try it out

### Creating an initiator group with initiators

The example initiator group is for Windows. FC Protocol and iSCSI initiators are allowed. Note that the `return_records` query parameter is used to obtain the newly created initiator group in the response.

### Renaming an initiator group

Note that renaming an initiator group must be done in a PATCH request separate from any other modifications.

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import Igroup

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):

## Classes

`class Igroup (*args, **kwargs)`

  An initiator group (igroup) is a collection of Fibre Channel (FC) world wide port names (WWPN), and/or iSCSI Qualified Names (IQNs), and/or iSCSI EUIs (Extended Unique Identifiers) that identify host initiators.
  Initiator groups are used to control which hosts can access specific LUNs. To grant access to a LUN from one or more hosts, create an initiator group containing the hosts' initiator names, then create a LUN map that associates the initiator group with the LUN.
  An initiator can appear in multiple initiator groups. An initiator group can be mapped to multiple LUNs. A specific initiator can be mapped to a specific LUN only once.
  All initiators in an initiator group must be from the same operating system. The initiator group's operating system is specified when the initiator group is created.
  When an initiator group is created, the `protocol` property is used to restrict member initiators to Fibre Channel (fcp), iSCSI (iscsi), or both (mixed).
  Zero or more initiators can be supplied when the initiator group is created. After creation, initiators can be added or removed from the initiator group using the `/protocols/san/igroups/{igroup.uuid}/initiators` endpoint. See `POST /protocols/san/igroups/{igroup.uuid}/initiators` and `DELETE /protocols/san/igroups/{igroup.uuid}/initiators/{name}` for more details.

  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

  - Resource

  ### Static methods

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

    Retrieves initiator groups.

    ### Expensive properties

    There is an added cost to retrieving values for these properties. They are not included by default in GET results and must be explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See `DOC Requesting specific fields` to learn more. * `lun_maps.*`

    ### Related ONTAP commands

    - `lun igroup show`
    - `lun mapping show`

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /protocols/san/igroups`

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

    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, body: typing.Union = None, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse`

    All records on the host which match the query will be deleted.

    ## 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 delete the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `body`
      The body of the delete request. This could be a Resource instance or a dictionary object.
    `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

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

    - `DOC /protocols/san/igroups`

    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.

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /protocols/san/igroups`

    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.

    `**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.

    - `svm.uuid` or `svm.name` - Existing SVM in which to create the initiator group.
    - `name` - Name of the initiator group.
    - `os_type` - Operating system of the initiator group's initiators.

    ### Recommended optional properties

    - `initiators.name` - Name(s) of initiator group's initiators. This property can be used to create the initiator group and populate it with initiators in a single request.

    ### Default property values

    If not specified in POST, the following default property values are assigned. * `protocol` - mixed - Data protocol of the initiator group's initiators.

    Send this object to the host as a creation request.

    ## 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.
    `**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

  ### Class variables

  `delete_on_unmap GET PATCH`

    An option that causes the initiator group to be deleted when the last LUN map associated with it is deleted. Optional in PATCH only; not available in POST. This property defaults to false when the initiator group is created.

  `initiators GET POST`

    The initiators that are members of the group. Optional in POST.
    Zero or more initiators can be supplied when the initiator group is created. After creation, initiators can be added or removed from the initiator group using the `/protocols/san/igroups/{igroup.uuid}/initiators` endpoint. See `POST /protocols/san/igroups/{igroup.uuid}/initiators` and `DELETE /protocols/san/igroups/{igroup.uuid}/initiators/{name}` for more details.

  `links GET`

    The links field of the igroup.

  `lun_maps GET`

    All LUN maps with which the initiator is associated.
    There is an added cost to retrieving property values for `lun_maps`. They not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See `DOC Requesting specific fields` to learn more.

  `name GET POST PATCH`

    The name of the initiator group. Required in POST; optional in PATCH.
    Note that renaming an initiator group must be done in a PATCH request separate from any other modifications.

    Example: igroup1

  `os_type GET POST PATCH`
