Retrieve SVM properties

Contributors

GET /svm/svms/{uuid}

Introduced In: 9.6

Retrieves the properties for an individual SVM. This includes protocol configurations such as CIFS and NFS, export policies, name service configurations, and network services.

Important notes

  • The SVM object includes a large set of fields and can be expensive to retrieve.

  • REST APIs only expose a data SVM as an SVM.

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.

  • snapmirror.*

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_auto_switch_duration_without_new_file_extension

integer

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that no new file-extensions are observed in the volume in recent time. This parameter optionally specifies the recent time duration (in days) to be considered during which no new file-extension should be observed in a given volume to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from '`learning`" to “enabled”.

anti_ransomware_auto_switch_from_learning_to_enabled

boolean

This property specifies whether anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM are automatically switched by the system from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” (active) state after sufficient learning.

anti_ransomware_auto_switch_minimum_file_count

integer

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that the volume should have a minimum file count in “learning” state. This parameter optionally specifies the minimum number of newly created files in “learning” state in a given volume to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from “learning” to “enabled”.

anti_ransomware_auto_switch_minimum_file_extension

integer

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that the volume should have minimum number of file extensions in “learning” state. This parameter optionally specifies the minimum number of new file extensions in “learning” state in a given volume to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from “learning” to “enabled”.

anti_ransomware_auto_switch_minimum_learning_period

integer

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that the volume should be in “learning” state for sufficient time period. This parameter optionally specifies the minimum number of days a given volume should be in “learning” state to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from “learning” to “enabled”.

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.

anti_ransomware_incoming_write_threshold

string

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that the volume should have sufficient data ingested to do the learning. This parameter optionally specifies the minimum amount of data (in GB) to be written to a given volume during the learning period to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from “learning” to “enabled”. The amount of data considered as ingested also includes the data that is deleted or overwritten after ingestion.

anti_ransomware_incoming_write_threshold_percent

string

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that the volume should have sufficient data ingested to do the learning. This parameter optionally specifies the minimum amount of data (in percentage) to be written to a given volume during the learning period to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from “learning” to “enabled”. The amount of data considered as ingested also includes the data that is deleted or overwritten after ingestion.

auto_enable_activity_tracking

boolean

Specifies whether volume activity tracking is automatically enabled on volumes that are created in the SVM.

auto_enable_analytics

boolean

Specifies whether file system analytics is automatically enabled on volumes that are created in the SVM.

certificate

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.
