Request Body

Name Type Description

Name	Type	Description
_links	_links
attributes	array[attributes]	An array of name/value pairs optionally stored with the LUN. Attributes are available to callers to persist small amounts of application-specific metadata. They are in no way interpreted by ONTAP. Attribute names and values must be at least one byte and no more than 4091 bytes in length. The sum of the name and value lengths must be no more than 4092 bytes. Valid in POST except when creating a LUN clone. A cloned can already have attributes from its source. You can add, modify, and delete the attributes of a LUN clone in separate requests after creation of the LUN. Attributes may be added/modified/removed for an existing LUN using the /api/storage/luns/{lun.uuid}/attributes endpoint. For further information, see DOC /storage/luns/{lun.uuid}/attributes . There is an added cost to retrieving property values for `attributes`. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more. Introduced in: 9.10 readCreate: 1
auto_delete	boolean	This property marks the LUN for auto deletion when the volume containing the LUN runs out of space. This is most commonly set on LUN clones. When set to true, the LUN becomes eligible for automatic deletion when the volume runs out of space. Auto deletion only occurs when the volume containing the LUN is also configured for auto deletion and free space in the volume decreases below a particular threshold. This property is optional in POST and PATCH. The default value for a new LUN is false. There is an added cost to retrieving this property's value. It is not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless it is explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.
class	string	The class of LUN. Optional in POST.
clone	clone	This sub-object is used in POST to create a new LUN as a clone of an existing LUN, or PATCH to overwrite an existing LUN as a clone of another. Setting a property in this sub-object indicates that a LUN clone is desired. Consider the following other properties when cloning a LUN: `auto_delete`, `qos_policy`, `space.guarantee.requested` and `space.scsi_thin_provisioning_support_enabled`. When used in a PATCH, the patched LUN's data is over-written as a clone of the source and the following properties are preserved from the patched LUN unless otherwise specified as part of the PATCH: `class`, `auto_delete`, `lun_maps`, `serial_number`, `status.state`, and `uuid`. Persistent reservations for the patched LUN are also preserved.
comment	string	A configurable comment available for use by the administrator. Valid in POST and PATCH.
consistency_group	consistency_group	The LUN's consistency group. This property is populated for LUNs whose volume is a member of a consistency group. If the volume is a member of a child consistency group, the parent consistency group is reported.
copy	copy	This sub-object applies to LUN copy operations. A LUN can be copied with a POST request that supplies `copy.source` properties. Copying a LUN is an asynchronous activity begun by a POST request that specifies the source of the copy in the `copy.source` properties. The data for the LUN is then asynchronously copied from the source to the destination. The time required to complete the copy depends on the size of the LUN and the load on the cluster. The `copy` sub-object is populated while a LUN copy is in progress and for two (2) minutes following completion of a copy. While LUNs are being copied, the status of the LUN copy operations can be obtained using a GET of the source or destination LUN that requests the `copy` properties. If the LUN is the source LUN for one or more copy operations, the `copy.destinations` array is populated in GET. If the containing LUN is the destination LUN for a copy operation, the `copy.source` sub-object is populated in GET. The LUN copy operation can be further modified using a PATCH on the properties on the `copy.source` sub-object of the copy destination LUN. There is an added cost to retrieving property values for `copy`. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.
create_time	string	The time the LUN was created.
enabled	boolean	The enabled state of the LUN. LUNs can be disabled to prevent access to the LUN. Certain error conditions also cause the LUN to become disabled. If the LUN is disabled, you can consult the `state` property to determine if the LUN is administratively disabled (offline) or has become disabled as a result of an error. A LUN in an error condition can be brought online by setting the `enabled` property to true or brought administratively offline by setting the `enabled` property to false. Upon creation, a LUN is enabled by default. Valid in PATCH.
location	location	The location of the LUN within the ONTAP cluster. Valid in POST and PATCH. Introduced in: 9.6
lun_maps	array[lun_maps]	The LUN maps with which the LUN is associated. There is an added cost to retrieving property values for `lun_maps`. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.
metric	metric	Performance numbers, such as IOPS latency and throughput.
movement	movement	This sub-object applies to LUN movement between volumes. A LUN can be moved to a new volume with a PATCH request that changes either the volume portion of property `name`, `location.volume.uuid`, or `location.volume.name`. If the volume is changed using more than one of these properties, the supplied properties used must refer to the same volume. Moving a LUN between volumes is an asynchronous activity begun by a PATCH request. The data for the LUN is then asynchronously copied from the source volume to the destination volume. The time required to complete the move depends on the size of the LUN and the load on the cluster. The `movement` sub-object is populated while a LUN movement is in progress and for two (2) minutes following completion of a movement. While the LUN is being moved, the status of the LUN movement operation can be obtained using a GET for the LUN that requests the `movement` properties. The LUN movement operation can be further modified using a PATCH on the properties on the `movement` sub-object. There is an added cost to retrieving property values for `movement`. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.
name	string	The fully qualified path name of the LUN composed of a "/vol" prefix, the volume name, the (optional) qtree name, and base name of the LUN. Valid in POST and PATCH. A PATCH that modifies the qtree and/or base name portion of the LUN path is considered a rename operation. A PATCH that modifies the volume portion of the LUN path begins an asynchronous LUN movement operation.
os_type	string	The operating system type of the LUN. Required in POST when creating a LUN that is not a clone of another. Disallowed in POST when creating a LUN clone.
qos_policy	qos_policy	The QoS policy for the LUN. Both traditional and adaptive QoS policies are supported. If both property `qos_policy.uuid` and `qos_policy.name` are specified in the same request, they must refer to the same QoS policy. To remove the QoS policy from a LUN, leaving it with no QoS policy, set property `qos_policy.name` to an empty string ("") in a PATCH request. Valid in POST and PATCH. Note that a QoS policy can be set on a LUN, or a LUN's volume, but not both.
serial_number	string	The LUN serial number. The serial number is generated by ONTAP when the LUN is created. maxLength: 12 minLength: 12 readOnly: 1 Introduced in: 9.6
space	space	The storage space related properties of the LUN.
statistics	statistics	These are raw performance numbers, such as IOPS latency and throughput. These numbers are aggregated across all nodes in the cluster and increase with the uptime of the cluster.
status	status	Status information about the LUN.
svm	svm	The SVM in which the LUN is located.
uuid	string	The unique identifier of the LUN. The UUID is generated by ONTAP when the LUN is created. example: 1cd8a442-86d1-11e0-ae1c-123478563412 readOnly: 1 Introduced in: 9.6
vvol	vvol	A VMware virtual volume (vVol) binding is an association between a LUN of class `protocol_endpoint` and a LUN of class `vvol`. Class `protocol_endpoint` LUNs are mapped to igroups and granted access using the same configuration as class `regular` LUNs. When a class `vvol` LUN is bound to a mapped class `protocol_endpoint` LUN, VMware can access the class `vvol` LUN through the class `protocol_endpoint` LUN mapping.

There is an added cost to retrieving property values for `vvol`. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.

auto_delete

boolean

This property marks the LUN for auto deletion when the volume containing the LUN runs out of space. This is most commonly set on LUN clones.

When set to true, the LUN becomes eligible for automatic deletion when the volume runs out of space. Auto deletion only occurs when the volume containing the LUN is also configured for auto deletion and free space in the volume decreases below a particular threshold.

This property is optional in POST and PATCH. The default value for a new LUN is false.

class

string

The class of LUN.

Optional in POST.

clone

This sub-object is used in POST to create a new LUN as a clone of an existing LUN, or PATCH to overwrite an existing LUN as a clone of another. Setting a property in this sub-object indicates that a LUN clone is desired. Consider the following other properties when cloning a LUN: auto_delete, qos_policy, space.guarantee.requested and space.scsi_thin_provisioning_support_enabled.

When used in a PATCH, the patched LUN's data is over-written as a clone of the source and the following properties are preserved from the patched LUN unless otherwise specified as part of the PATCH: class, auto_delete, lun_maps, serial_number, status.state, and uuid.

Persistent reservations for the patched LUN are also preserved.

comment

string

A configurable comment available for use by the administrator. Valid in POST and PATCH.

consistency_group

The LUN's consistency group. This property is populated for LUNs whose volume is a member of a consistency group. If the volume is a member of a child consistency group, the parent consistency group is reported.

copy

This sub-object applies to LUN copy operations. A LUN can be copied with a POST request that supplies copy.source properties.

Copying a LUN is an asynchronous activity begun by a POST request that specifies the source of the copy in the copy.source properties. The data for the LUN is then asynchronously copied from the source to the destination. The time required to complete the copy depends on the size of the LUN and the load on the cluster. The copy sub-object is populated while a LUN copy is in progress and for two (2) minutes following completion of a copy.

While LUNs are being copied, the status of the LUN copy operations can be obtained using a GET of the source or destination LUN that requests the copy properties. If the LUN is the source LUN for one or more copy operations, the copy.destinations array is populated in GET. If the containing LUN is the destination LUN for a copy operation, the copy.source sub-object is populated in GET. The LUN copy operation can be further modified using a PATCH on the properties on the copy.source sub-object of the copy destination LUN.

There is an added cost to retrieving property values for copy. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the fields query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.

create_time

string

The time the LUN was created.

enabled

boolean

The enabled state of the LUN. LUNs can be disabled to prevent access to the LUN. Certain error conditions also cause the LUN to become disabled. If the LUN is disabled, you can consult the state property to determine if the LUN is administratively disabled (offline) or has become disabled as a result of an error. A LUN in an error condition can be brought online by setting the enabled property to true or brought administratively offline by setting the enabled property to false. Upon creation, a LUN is enabled by default. Valid in PATCH.

movement

This sub-object applies to LUN movement between volumes. A LUN can be moved to a new volume with a PATCH request that changes either the volume portion of property name, location.volume.uuid, or location.volume.name. If the volume is changed using more than one of these properties, the supplied properties used must refer to the same volume.

Moving a LUN between volumes is an asynchronous activity begun by a PATCH request. The data for the LUN is then asynchronously copied from the source volume to the destination volume. The time required to complete the move depends on the size of the LUN and the load on the cluster. The movement sub-object is populated while a LUN movement is in progress and for two (2) minutes following completion of a movement.

While the LUN is being moved, the status of the LUN movement operation can be obtained using a GET for the LUN that requests the movement properties. The LUN movement operation can be further modified using a PATCH on the properties on the movement sub-object.

There is an added cost to retrieving property values for movement. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the fields query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.

A PATCH that modifies the volume portion of the LUN path begins an asynchronous LUN movement operation.

os_type

string

The operating system type of the LUN.

Required in POST when creating a LUN that is not a clone of another. Disallowed in POST when creating a LUN clone.

qos_policy

The QoS policy for the LUN. Both traditional and adaptive QoS policies are supported.

There is an added cost to retrieving property values for vvol.bindings. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the fields query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.

is_bound

boolean

Reports if the LUN is part of a VMware virtual volume (vVol) bind relationship. This is true if the LUN is of class protocol_endpoint or vvol and has one or more bindings to a LUN of the opposite class. This is false if the LUN is of class regular or unbound.

lun

A LUN is the logical representation of storage in a storage area network (SAN).

In ONTAP, a LUN is located within a volume. Optionally, it can be located within a qtree in a volume.

A LUN can be created to a specified size using thin or thick provisioning. A LUN can then be renamed, resized, cloned, and moved to a different volume. LUNs support the assignment of a quality of service (QoS) policy for performance management or a QoS policy can be assigned to the volume containing the LUN. See the LUN object model to learn more about each of the properties supported by the LUN REST API.

A LUN must be mapped to an initiator group to grant access to the initiator group's initiators (client hosts). Initiators can then access the LUN and perform I/O over a Fibre Channel (FC) fabric using the Fibre Channel Protocol or a TCP/IP network using iSCSI.

Name Type Description

Name	Type	Description
_links	_links
attributes	array[attributes]	An array of name/value pairs optionally stored with the LUN. Attributes are available to callers to persist small amounts of application-specific metadata. They are in no way interpreted by ONTAP. Attribute names and values must be at least one byte and no more than 4091 bytes in length. The sum of the name and value lengths must be no more than 4092 bytes. Valid in POST except when creating a LUN clone. A cloned can already have attributes from its source. You can add, modify, and delete the attributes of a LUN clone in separate requests after creation of the LUN. Attributes may be added/modified/removed for an existing LUN using the /api/storage/luns/{lun.uuid}/attributes endpoint. For further information, see DOC /storage/luns/{lun.uuid}/attributes . There is an added cost to retrieving property values for `attributes`. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more. Introduced in: 9.10 readCreate: 1
auto_delete	boolean	This property marks the LUN for auto deletion when the volume containing the LUN runs out of space. This is most commonly set on LUN clones. When set to true, the LUN becomes eligible for automatic deletion when the volume runs out of space. Auto deletion only occurs when the volume containing the LUN is also configured for auto deletion and free space in the volume decreases below a particular threshold. This property is optional in POST and PATCH. The default value for a new LUN is false. There is an added cost to retrieving this property's value. It is not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless it is explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.
class	string	The class of LUN. Optional in POST.
clone	clone	This sub-object is used in POST to create a new LUN as a clone of an existing LUN, or PATCH to overwrite an existing LUN as a clone of another. Setting a property in this sub-object indicates that a LUN clone is desired. Consider the following other properties when cloning a LUN: `auto_delete`, `qos_policy`, `space.guarantee.requested` and `space.scsi_thin_provisioning_support_enabled`. When used in a PATCH, the patched LUN's data is over-written as a clone of the source and the following properties are preserved from the patched LUN unless otherwise specified as part of the PATCH: `class`, `auto_delete`, `lun_maps`, `serial_number`, `status.state`, and `uuid`. Persistent reservations for the patched LUN are also preserved.
comment	string	A configurable comment available for use by the administrator. Valid in POST and PATCH.
consistency_group	consistency_group	The LUN's consistency group. This property is populated for LUNs whose volume is a member of a consistency group. If the volume is a member of a child consistency group, the parent consistency group is reported.
copy	copy	This sub-object applies to LUN copy operations. A LUN can be copied with a POST request that supplies `copy.source` properties. Copying a LUN is an asynchronous activity begun by a POST request that specifies the source of the copy in the `copy.source` properties. The data for the LUN is then asynchronously copied from the source to the destination. The time required to complete the copy depends on the size of the LUN and the load on the cluster. The `copy` sub-object is populated while a LUN copy is in progress and for two (2) minutes following completion of a copy. While LUNs are being copied, the status of the LUN copy operations can be obtained using a GET of the source or destination LUN that requests the `copy` properties. If the LUN is the source LUN for one or more copy operations, the `copy.destinations` array is populated in GET. If the containing LUN is the destination LUN for a copy operation, the `copy.source` sub-object is populated in GET. The LUN copy operation can be further modified using a PATCH on the properties on the `copy.source` sub-object of the copy destination LUN. There is an added cost to retrieving property values for `copy`. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.
create_time	string	The time the LUN was created.
enabled	boolean	The enabled state of the LUN. LUNs can be disabled to prevent access to the LUN. Certain error conditions also cause the LUN to become disabled. If the LUN is disabled, you can consult the `state` property to determine if the LUN is administratively disabled (offline) or has become disabled as a result of an error. A LUN in an error condition can be brought online by setting the `enabled` property to true or brought administratively offline by setting the `enabled` property to false. Upon creation, a LUN is enabled by default. Valid in PATCH.
location	location	The location of the LUN within the ONTAP cluster. Valid in POST and PATCH. Introduced in: 9.6
lun_maps	array[lun_maps]	The LUN maps with which the LUN is associated. There is an added cost to retrieving property values for `lun_maps`. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.
metric	metric	Performance numbers, such as IOPS latency and throughput.
movement	movement	This sub-object applies to LUN movement between volumes. A LUN can be moved to a new volume with a PATCH request that changes either the volume portion of property `name`, `location.volume.uuid`, or `location.volume.name`. If the volume is changed using more than one of these properties, the supplied properties used must refer to the same volume. Moving a LUN between volumes is an asynchronous activity begun by a PATCH request. The data for the LUN is then asynchronously copied from the source volume to the destination volume. The time required to complete the move depends on the size of the LUN and the load on the cluster. The `movement` sub-object is populated while a LUN movement is in progress and for two (2) minutes following completion of a movement. While the LUN is being moved, the status of the LUN movement operation can be obtained using a GET for the LUN that requests the `movement` properties. The LUN movement operation can be further modified using a PATCH on the properties on the `movement` sub-object. There is an added cost to retrieving property values for `movement`. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.
name	string	The fully qualified path name of the LUN composed of a "/vol" prefix, the volume name, the (optional) qtree name, and base name of the LUN. Valid in POST and PATCH. A PATCH that modifies the qtree and/or base name portion of the LUN path is considered a rename operation. A PATCH that modifies the volume portion of the LUN path begins an asynchronous LUN movement operation.
os_type	string	The operating system type of the LUN. Required in POST when creating a LUN that is not a clone of another. Disallowed in POST when creating a LUN clone.
qos_policy	qos_policy	The QoS policy for the LUN. Both traditional and adaptive QoS policies are supported. If both property `qos_policy.uuid` and `qos_policy.name` are specified in the same request, they must refer to the same QoS policy. To remove the QoS policy from a LUN, leaving it with no QoS policy, set property `qos_policy.name` to an empty string ("") in a PATCH request. Valid in POST and PATCH. Note that a QoS policy can be set on a LUN, or a LUN's volume, but not both.
serial_number	string	The LUN serial number. The serial number is generated by ONTAP when the LUN is created. maxLength: 12 minLength: 12 readOnly: 1 Introduced in: 9.6
space	space	The storage space related properties of the LUN.
statistics	statistics	These are raw performance numbers, such as IOPS latency and throughput. These numbers are aggregated across all nodes in the cluster and increase with the uptime of the cluster.
status	status	Status information about the LUN.
svm	svm	The SVM in which the LUN is located.
uuid	string	The unique identifier of the LUN. The UUID is generated by ONTAP when the LUN is created. example: 1cd8a442-86d1-11e0-ae1c-123478563412 readOnly: 1 Introduced in: 9.6
vvol	vvol	A VMware virtual volume (vVol) binding is an association between a LUN of class `protocol_endpoint` and a LUN of class `vvol`. Class `protocol_endpoint` LUNs are mapped to igroups and granted access using the same configuration as class `regular` LUNs. When a class `vvol` LUN is bound to a mapped class `protocol_endpoint` LUN, VMware can access the class `vvol` LUN through the class `protocol_endpoint` LUN mapping. See link:post-protocols-san-vvol-bindings(#-san-vvol-binding-create)tolearnmoreaboutcreatingvvolbindingsanddelete-protocols-san-vvol-bindings.htmlPOST /protocols/san/vvol-bindings to learn more about creating vVol bindings and [DELETE /protocols/san/vvol-bindings] to learn more about deleting vVol bindings. There is an added cost to retrieving property values for `vvol`. They are not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter.
