Create an application

Template properties

The application APIs appear to be complex and long in this documentation because we document every possible template, of which there are currently 14. When creating an application, only a single template is used, so it is best to focus only on the template of interest. Other than the properties for the chosen template, only the name and svm of the application must be provided. The following three sections provided guidelines on using the properties of the templates, but the whole idea behind the templates is to automatically follow the best practices of the given application, so the only way to determine the exact list of required properties and default values is to dig in to the model section of the template. The templates are all top level properties of the application object with names matching the values returned by GET /application/templates .

Required properties

svm.uuid or svm.name - The existing SVM in which to create the application.
name - The name for the application.
<template> - Properties for one template must be provided. In general, the following properties are required, however the naming of these may vary slightly from template to template.
- name - The generic templates require names for the components of the application. Other templates name the components automatically.
- size - This generally refers to the size of an application component, which may be spread across multiple underlying storage objects (volumes, LUNs, etc…).
- Either nfs_access, cifs_access, or igroup_name must be specified
- os_type - All SAN applications require an os_type to be specified in some way. Some templates refer to this as the hypervisor.

Recommended optional properties

<template> - The following properties are available in some templates.
- new_igroups.* - SAN applications can use existing initiator groups or create new ones. When creating new initiator groups, new_igroups.name is required and the other properties may be used to fully specify the new initiator group.

Default property values

If not specified in POST, the follow default property values are assigned. It is recommended that most of these properties be provided explicitly rather than relying upon the defaults. The defaults are intended to make it as easy as possible to provision and connect to an application.

template.name - Defaults to match the <template> provided. If specified, the value of this property must match the provided template properties.
<template> - The majority of template properties have default values. The defaults may vary from template to template. See the model of each template for complete details. In general the following patterns are common across all template properties. The location of these properties varies from template to template.
- storage_service.name - value
- protection_type.local_rpo - hourly (Hourly Snapshot copies)
- protection_type.remote_rpo - none (Not MetroCluster)
- new_igroups.os_type - Defaults to match the os_type provided for the application, but may need to be provided explicitly when using virtualization.

Optional components

A common pattern across many templates are objects that are optional, but once any property in the object is specified, other properties within the object become required. Many applications have optional components. For example, provisioning a database without a component to store the logs is supported. If the properties related to the logs are omitted, no storage will be provisioned for logs. But when the additional component is desired, the size is required. Specifying any other property of a component without specifying the size is not supported. In the model of each template, the required components are indicated with a red '*'. When a size property is listed as optional, that means the component itself is optional, and the size should be specified to include that component in the application.

POST body examples

Create a generic SAN application that exposes four LUNs to an existing initiator group, igroup_1.

  {
    "name": "app1",
    "svm": { "name": "svm1" },
    "san": {
      "os_type": "linux",
      "application_components": [
        { "name": "component1", "total_size": "10GB", "lun_count": 4, "igroup_name": "igroup_1" }
      ]
    }
  }

Create an SQL application that can be accessed via initiator iqn.2017-01.com.example:foo from a new initiator group, igroup_2.

  {
    "name": "app2",
    "svm": { "name": "svm1" },
    "sql_on_san": {
      "db": { "size": "5GB" },
      "log": { "size": "1GB" },
      "temp_db": { "size": "2GB" },
      "igroup_name": "igroup_2",
      "new_igroups": [
        { "name": "igroup_2", "initiators": [ "iqn.2017-01.com.example:foo" ] }
      ]
    }
  }

The following body creates the exact same SQL application, but manually provides all the defaults that were excluded from the previous call.

The model of a sql_on_san application documents all these default values.

  {
    "name": "app3",
    "svm": { "name": "svm1" },
    "template": { "name": "sql_on_san" },
    "sql_on_san": {
      "os_type": "windows_2008",
      "server_cores_count": 8,
      "db": { "size": "5GB", "storage_service": { "name": "value" } },
      "log": { "size": "1GB", "storage_service": { "name": "value" } },
      "temp_db": { "size": "2GB", "storage_service": { "name": "value" } },
      "igroup_name": "igroup_2",
      "new_igroups": [
        {
          "name": "igroup_2",
          "protocol": "mixed",
          "os_type": "windows",
          "initiators": [ "iqn.a.new.initiator" ]
        }
      ],
      "protection_type": { "local_rpo": "none" }
    }
  }

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.
return_records	boolean	query	False	The default is false. If set to true, the records are returned.
