location

The location of the FC interface is defined by the location of its port. An FC port is identified by its UUID, or a combination of its node name and port name. Either the UUID or the node name and port name are required for POST. To move an interface, supply either the UUID or the node name and port name in a PATCH.

The location of an FC interface can be set using "location.home_node" and "location.home_port" during a POST or PATCH. "location.node" and "location.port" refer to the current location of the FC interface.

duration

string

The duration over which this sample is calculated. The time durations are represented in the ISO-8601 standard format. Samples can be calculated over the following durations:

iops

iops

The rate of I/O operations observed at the storage object.

latency

latency

The round trip latency in microseconds observed at the storage object.

status

string

Any errors associated with the sample. For example, if the aggregation of data over multiple nodes fails then any of the partial errors might be returned, "ok" on success, or "error" on any internal uncategorized failure. Whenever a sample collection is missed but done at a later time, it is back filled to the previous 15 second timestamp and tagged with "backfilled_data". "Inconsistent_ delta_time" is encountered when the time between two collections is not the same for all nodes. Therefore, the aggregated value might be over or under inflated. "Negative_delta" is returned when an expected monotonically increasing value has decreased in value. "Inconsistent_old_data" is returned when one or more nodes do not have the latest data.

throughput

throughput

The rate of throughput bytes per second observed at the storage object.

timestamp

string

The timestamp of the performance data.

iops_raw

The number of I/O operations observed at the storage object. This should be used along with delta time to calculate the rate of I/O operations per unit of time.

Name Type Description

other

integer

Performance metric for other I/O operations. Other I/O operations can be metadata operations, such as directory lookups and so on.

read

integer

Performance metric for read I/O operations.

total

Performance metric aggregated over all types of I/O operations.

write

integer

Peformance metric for write I/O operations.

latency_raw

The raw latency in microseconds observed at the storage object. This should be divided by the raw IOPS value to calculate the average latency per I/O operation.

Name Type Description

svm

Name Type Description

_links

_links

name

string

The name of the SVM.

uuid

string

The unique identifier of the SVM.

fc_interface

A Fibre Channel (FC) interface is the logical endpoint for FC network connections to an SVM. An FC interface provides FC access to storage within the interface SVM using either Fibre Channel Protocol or NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC).

An FC interface is created on an FC port which is located on a cluster node. The FC port must be specified to identify the location of the interface for a POST or PATCH operation that relocates an interface. You can identify the port by supplying either the node and port names or the port UUID.

Name Type Description

_links

_links

comment

string

A user configurable comment. Optional in POST; valid in PATCH. To clear a prior comment, set the property to an empty string in PATCH.

data_protocol

string

The data protocol for which the FC interface is configured. Required in POST.

enabled

boolean

The administrative state of the FC interface. The FC interface can be disabled to block all FC communication with the SVM through this interface. Optional in POST and PATCH; defaults to true (enabled) in POST.

location

location

The location of the FC interface is defined by the location of its port. An FC port is identified by its UUID, or a combination of its node name and port name. Either the UUID or the node name and port name are required for POST. To move an interface, supply either the UUID or the node name and port name in a PATCH.

The location of an FC interface can be set using "location.home_node" and "location.home_port" during a POST or PATCH. "location.node" and "location.port" refer to the current location of the FC interface. This may be different from "location.home_node" and "location.home_port" in instances where the FC interface failed over due to an offline node.

metric

metric

Performance numbers, such as IOPS latency and throughput

name

string

The name of the FC interface. Required in POST; optional in PATCH.

port_address

string

The port address of the FC interface. Each FC port in an FC switched fabric has its own unique FC port address for routing purposes. The FC port address is assigned by a switch in the fabric when that port logs in to the fabric. This property refers to the address given by a switch to the FC interface when the SVM performs a port login (PLOGI).

This is useful for obtaining statistics and diagnostic information from FC switches.

This is a hexadecimal encoded numeric value.

state

string

The current operational state of the FC interface. The state is set to down if the interface is not enabled.

If the node hosting the port is down or unavailable, no state value is returned.

statistics

statistics

These are raw performance numbers, such as IOPS latency and throughput. These numbers are aggregated across all nodes in the cluster and increase with the uptime of the cluster.

svm

svm

uuid

string

The unique identifier of the FC interface. Required in the URL.

wwnn

string

The world wide node name (WWNN) of the FC interface SVM. The WWNN is generated by ONTAP when Fibre Channel Protocol or the NVMe service is created for the FC interface SVM.

  • example: 20:00:00:50:56:b4:13:01

  • readOnly: 1

  • Introduced in: 9.6

wwpn

string

The world wide port name (WWPN) of the FC interface. The WWPN is generated by ONTAP when the FC interface is created.

  • example: 20:00:00:50:56:b4:13:a8

  • readOnly: 1

  • Introduced in: 9.6
