The following APIs can be used to perform operations related to FlexCache connection status:
– GET /api/storage/flexcache/connection-status
– GET /api/storage/flexcache/connection-status/{node}/{svm}/{local_fg_msid}/{remote_svm_uuid}/{remote_vol_const_msid}
Examples
Retrieving flexcache connection-status of all volumes.
The GET request is used to retrieve connection-status between all origins and their corresponding FlexCache volumes.
