  1. Starts an SVM and updates the "comment" field for an individual SVM

  PATCH "/api/svm/svms/f16f0935-5281-11e8-b94d-005056b46485" '{"state":"running", "comment":"This SVM is running."}'

  1. Updates the "language" field for an individual SVM

  PATCH "/api/svm/svms/f16f0935-5281-11e8-b94d-005056b46485" '{"language":"en.UTF-8"}'

  1. Updates the "name" field for an SVM or renames the SVM

  PATCH "/api/svm/svms/f16f0935-5281-11e8-b94d-005056b46485" '{"name":"svm_new"}'

Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

uuid

string

path

True

Filter by UUID

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.
