Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

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.

  • Default value: 1

return_records

boolean

query

False

The default is false. If set to true, the records are returned.

  • Default value: 1

create_recommended_aggregates

boolean

query

False

Creates aggregates based on an optimal layout recommended by the system.

  • Default value:

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

cluster_interface

cluster_interface

The cluster network IP address of the node to be added.

cluster_interfaces

array[cluster_interfaces]

controller

controller

Controller information

date

string

The current or "wall clock" time of the node in ISO-8601 date, time, and time zone format. The ISO-8601 date and time are localized based on the ONTAP cluster's timezone setting.

  • example: 2019-04-17 11:49:26 -0400

  • format: date-time

  • readOnly: 1

ha

ha

location

string

management_interface

management_interface

The management interface of the node to be added. The subnet mask is set based on the management interface of the cluster or the managment interfaces of other nodes.

management_interfaces

array[management_interfaces]

membership

string

Possible values:

  • available - A node is detected on the internal cluster network and can be added to the cluster. Nodes that have a membership of "available" are not returned when a GET request is called when the cluster exists. Provide a query on the "membership" property for available to scan for nodes on the cluster network. Nodes that have a membership of "available" are returned automatically before a cluster is created.

  • joining - Joining nodes are in the process of being added to the cluster. The node might be progressing through the steps to become a member or might have failed. The job to add the node or create the cluster provides details on the current progress of the node.

  • member - Nodes that are members have successfully joined the cluster.

model

string

name

string

serial_number

string

service_processor

service_processor

state

string

State of the node:

  • up - Node is up and operational.

  • booting - Node is booting up.

  • down - Node has stopped or is dumping core.

  • taken_over - Node has been taken over by its HA partner and is not yet waiting for giveback.

  • waiting_for_giveback - Node has been taken over by its HA partner and is waiting for the HA partner to giveback disks.

  • degraded - Node has one or more critical services offline.

  • unknown - Node or its HA partner cannot be contacted and there is no information on the node's state.

system_id

string

system_machine_type

string

OEM system machine type.

uptime

integer

The total time, in seconds, that the node has been up.

uuid

string

vendor_serial_number

string

OEM vendor serial number.

version

version

This returns the cluster version information. When the cluster has more than one node, the cluster version is equivalent to the lowest of generation, major, and minor versions on all nodes.
