POST /storage/aggregates

Introduced In: 9.6

Automatically creates aggregates based on an optimal layout recommended by the system. Alternatively, properties can be provided to create an aggregate according to the requested specification. This request starts a job and returns a link to that job. POST operations will be blocked while one or more nodes in the cluster are simulating or implementing automatic aggregate creation.

Required properties

Properties are not required for this API. The following properties are only required if you want to specify properties for aggregate creation:

  • name - Name of the aggregate.

  • node.name or node.uuid - Node on which the aggregate will be created.

  • block_storage.primary.disk_count - Number of disks to be used to create the aggregate.

Default values

If not specified in POST, the following default values are assigned. The remaining unspecified properties will receive system dependent default values.

  • block_storage.mirror.enabled - false

  • snaplock_type - non_snaplock

  • storage aggregate auto-provision

  • storage aggregate create

Example:

POST /api/storage/aggregates {"node": {"name": "node1"}, "name": "test", "block_storage": {"primary": {"disk_count": "10"}}}

Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

disk_size

integer

query

False

If set, POST only selects disks of the specified size.

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

return_records

boolean

query

False

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

  • Default value:

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

_links

_tags

array[string]

Tags are an optional way to track the uses of a resource. Tag values must be formatted as key:value strings.

block_storage

block_storage

Configuration information for the locally attached portion of the aggregate. When a cloud store is also used by this aggregate, this is referred to as the performance tier.

cloud_storage

cloud_storage

Configuration information for the cloud storage portion of the aggregate. This is referred to as the capacity tier.

create_time

string

Timestamp of aggregate creation.

data_encryption

data_encryption

dr_home_node

dr_home_node

Node where the aggregate resides after disaster recovery. The value for this field might differ from the 'node' field during switchover.

home_node

home_node

Node where the aggregate resides after giveback. The value for this field might differ from the value of the 'node' field during takeover.

inactive_data_reporting

inactive_data_reporting

inode_attributes

inode_attributes

is_spare_low

boolean

Specifies whether the aggregate is in a spares low condition on any of the RAID groups. This is an advanced property; there is an added computational cost to retrieving its value. The field is not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless it is explicitly requested using the fields query parameter containing either footprint or **.

metric

metric

The most recent sample of I/O metrics for the aggregate.

name

string

Aggregate name.

node

node

Node where the aggregate currently resides.

recommendation_spares

array[aggregate_spare]

Information on the aggregate's remaining hot spare disks.

sidl_enabled

boolean

Specifies whether or not SIDL is enabled on the aggregate.

snaplock_type

string

SnapLock type.

snapshot

snapshot

space

space

state

string

Operational state of the aggregate.

statistics

statistics

The real time I/O statistics for the aggregate.

uuid

string

Aggregate UUID.

volume-count

integer

Number of volumes in the aggregate.

latency

latency

The round trip latency in microseconds observed at the storage object.

status

string

Errors associated with the sample. For example, if the aggregation of data over multiple nodes fails, then any partial errors might return "ok" on success or "error" on an internal uncategorized failure. Whenever a sample collection is missed but done at a later time, it is back filled to the previous 15 second timestamp and tagged with "backfilled_data". "Inconsistent_ delta_time" is encountered when the time between two collections is not the same for all nodes. Therefore, the aggregated value might be over or under inflated. "Negative_delta" is returned when an expected monotonically increasing value has decreased in value. "Inconsistent_old_data" is returned when one or more nodes do not have the latest data.
