Error

Status: Default

ONTAP Error Response Codes

Error Code Description

1115127

The cluster lacks a valid iSCSI license.

2621462

The supplied SVM does not exist.

2621507

The iSCSI protocol is not allowed for the specified SVM.

2621706

The specified svm.uuid and svm.name do not refer to the same SVM.

2621707

No SVM was specified. Either svm.name or svm.uuid must be supplied.

5374077

An iSCSI service already exists for the specified SVM.

name

string

The name of the SVM.

uuid

string

The unique identifier of the SVM.

target

Name Type Description

alias

string

The iSCSI target alias of the iSCSI service.

The target alias can contain one (1) to 128 characters and feature any printable character except space (" "). A PATCH request with an empty alias ("") clears the alias.

Optional in POST and PATCH. In POST, this defaults to the name of the SVM.

name

string

The iSCSI target name of the iSCSI service. This is generated for the SVM during POST.

If required, the target name can be modified using the ONTAP command line.

  • example: iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.574caf71890911e8a6b7005056b4ea79:vs.2

  • maxLength: 128

  • minLength: 1

iscsi_service

An iSCSI service defines the properties of the iSCSI target for an SVM. There can be at most one iSCSI service for an SVM. An SVM's iSCSI service must be created before iSCSI initiators can log in to the SVM.

An iSCSI service is identified by the UUID of its SVM.

boolean

The administrative state of the iSCSI service. The iSCSI service can be disabled to block all iSCSI connectivity to the SVM.
