Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

return_records

boolean

query

False

The default is false. If set to true, the records are returned.

  • Default value:

return_timeout

integer

query

False

The number of seconds to allow the call to execute before returning. When doing a POST, PATCH, or DELETE operation on a single record, the default is 0 seconds. This means that if an asynchronous operation is started, the server immediately returns HTTP code 202 (Accepted) along with a link to the job. If a non-zero value is specified for POST, PATCH, or DELETE operations, ONTAP waits that length of time to see if the job completes so it can return something other than 202.

  • Default value: 1

  • Max value: 120

  • Min value: 0

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

_links

aggregates

array[aggregates]

List of allowed aggregates for SVM volumes. An administrator is allowed to create volumes on these aggregates.

aggregates_delegated

boolean

This property is true when the administrator has delegated the aggregates for the SVM volumes.

anti_ransomware_default_volume_state

string

Specifies the default Anti-ransomware state of the volumes in the SVM. Default "anti_ransomware_default_volume_state" property is disabled for POST operation. If this value is "disabled", Anti-ransomware protection is disabled by default on the new volumes that are created in the SVM. If this value is "dry_run", Anti-ransomware protection is in learning mode by default on the new volumes that are created in the SVM. When the Anti-ransomware license is not present, this property is ignored and volumes will be created with the "disabled" state.

certificate

Support for this field will be removed in a future release. Please use /svm/svms/{svm.uuid}/web for this field. Certificate for incoming TLS connection requests.
