Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

uuid

string

path

True

The unique identifier for the FC interface.

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

_links

comment

string

A user configurable comment. Optional in POST; valid in PATCH. To clear a prior comment, set the property to an empty string in PATCH.

data_protocol

string

The data protocol for which the FC interface is configured. Required in POST.

enabled

boolean

The administrative state of the FC interface. The FC interface can be disabled to block all FC communication with the SVM through this interface. Optional in POST and PATCH; defaults to true (enabled) in POST.

location

location

The location of the FC interface is defined by the location of its port. An FC port is identified by its UUID, or a combination of its node name and port name. Either the UUID or the node name and port name are required for POST. To move an interface, supply either the UUID or the node name and port name in a PATCH.

name

string

The name of the FC interface. Required in POST; optional in PATCH.

port_address

string

The port address of the FC interface. Each FC port in an FC switched fabric has its own unique FC port address for routing purposes. The FC port address is assigned by a switch in the fabric when that port logs in to the fabric. This property refers to the address given by a switch to the FC interface when the SVM performs a port login (PLOGI).

This is useful for obtaining statistics and diagnostic information from FC switches.

This is a hexadecimal encoded numeric value.

state

string

The current operational state of the FC interface. The state is set to down if the interface is not enabled.

If the node hosting the port is down or unavailable, no state value is returned.

svm

svm

SVM, applies only to SVM-scoped objects.

uuid

string

The unique identifier of the FC interface. Required in the URL.

wwnn

string

The world wide node name (WWNN) of the FC interface SVM. The WWNN is generated by ONTAP when Fibre Channel Protocol or the NVMe service is created for the FC interface SVM.

  • example: 20:00:00:50:56:b4:13:01

  • readOnly: 1

wwpn

string

The world wide port name (WWPN) of the FC interface. The WWPN is generated by ONTAP when the FC interface is created.

  • example: 20:00:00:50:56:b4:13:a8

  • readOnly: 1

ONTAP Error Response Codes

Error Code Description

1966140

A LIF with the same name already exists.

1966217

The specified port is not valid on the node provided.

1966238

The node or port of an active SAN data LIF cannot be changed.

1966702

The destination node is not healthy.

5374579

The SAN Kernel Agent on the node is unavailable.

5374870

A partial failure occurred; renaming the LIF failed. Correct the error and resubmit the request.

5374871

The Fibre Channel port identified by the specified UUID does not refer to the same port as that identified by the specified node name and/or port name.

5374872

If either location.port.node.name or location.port.name is supplied, both properties must be supplied.

72089674

You cannot move a Fibre Channel interface configured for the NVMe over FC data protocol.

fc_interface

A Fibre Channel (FC) interface is the logical endpoint for FC network connections to an SVM. An FC interface provides FC access to storage within the interface SVM using either Fibre Channel Protocol or NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC).

An FC interface is created on an FC port which is located on a cluster node. The FC port must be specified to identify the location of the interface for a POST or PATCH operation that relocates an interface. You can identify the port by supplying either the node and port names or the port UUID.
