GET /storage/flexcache/flexcaches

Retrieves FlexCache in the cluster.

Expensive properties

There is an added cost to retrieving values for these properties. They are not included by default in GET results and must be explicitly requested using the fields query parameter. See DOC Requesting specific fields to learn more.

  • origins.ip_address - IP address of origin.

  • origins.size - Physical size of origin.

  • origins.state - State of origin.

  • size - Physical size of FlexCache.

  • guarantee.type - Space guarantee style of FlexCache.

  • aggregates.name or aggregates.uuid - Name or UUID of aggregrate of FlexCache volume.

  • path - Fully-qualified path of the owning SVM's namespace where the FlexCache is mounted.

  • volume flexcache show
