GET /protocols/san/igroups/{igroup.uuid}/initiators/{name}

Introduced In: 9.6

Retrieves an initiator of an initiator group. This API only reports initiators owned directly by the initiator group. Initiators of nested initiator groups are not part of this collection.

Expensive properties

There is an added computational 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 Requesting specific fields to learn more.
