File services APIs

Contributors ciarm netapp-manini dmp-netapp Download PDF of this page

This section describes the APIs required to manage your file servers and file shares.

Before you create the file shares that will be housed on the file server, you must create a file server.

The file service APIs are grouped as follows:

  • APIs for managing file servers (including creating file server tags)

  • APIs for managing File share (including creating and deleting file share snapshots and creating file share tags)

File server APIs

Use the methods listed in the following table to retrieve, create, modify, and delete file servers, and to add tags to a file server.

HTTP Method Path Description

Retrieve a file server by ID.

PUT

/v2.1/fileservers/{id}
