Error

Status: Default

ONTAP Error Response Codes

Error Code Description

1115127

The cluster lacks a valid FCP license.

2621462

The supplied SVM does not exist.

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.

2621507

The Fibre Channel Protocol is not allowed for the specified SVM.

5374092

The Fibre Channel Procotol is not supported on the cluster hardware configuration; there are no Fibre Channel adapters.

name

string

The name of the SVM.

uuid

string

The unique identifier of the SVM.

target

Name Type Description

name

string

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

The FC Protocol target name is a world wide node name (WWNN).

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

  • example: 20:00:00:50:56:bb:b2:4b

  • maxLength: 128

  • minLength: 1

  • readOnly: 1

fcp_service

A Fibre Channel (FC) Protocol service defines the properties of the FC Protocol target for an SVM. There can be at most one FC Protocol service for an SVM. An SVM's FC Protocol service must be created before FC Protocol initiators can login to the SVM.

A FC Protocol service is identified by the UUID of its SVM.

Name Type Description

boolean

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

This is optional in POST and PATCH. The default setting is true (enabled) in POST.
