Retrieve SVMs and SVM properties

Contributors

GET /svm/svms

Introduced In: 9.6

Retrieves a list of SVMs and individual SVM properties. This includes protocol configurations such as CIFS and NFS, export policies, name service configurations, and network services.

Important notes

  • The SVM object includes a large set of fields and can be expensive to retrieve. Use this API to list the collection of SVMs, and to retrieve only the full details of individual SVMs as needed.

  • It is not recommended to create or delete more than five SVMs in parallel.

  • REST APIs only expose a data SVM as an SVM.

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 Requesting specific fields to learn more.

  • snapmirror.*

  • vserver show

Examples

  1. Retrieves a list of SVMs in the cluster sorted by name

  GET "/api/svm/svms?order_by=name"

  1. Retrieves a list of SVMs in the cluster that have the NFS protocol enabled

  GET "/api/svm/svms?nfs.enabled=true"

  1. Retrieves a list of SVMs in the cluster that have the CIFS protocol enabled

  GET "/api/svm/svms?cifs.enabled=true"

  1. Retrieves a list of SVMs in the cluster that have the S3 protocol enabled

  GET "/api/svm/svms?s3.enabled=true"

5 Retrieves a list of SVMs in the cluster that have the FCP protocol allowed

  GET "/api/svm/svms?fcp.allowed=true"

  1. Retrieves a list of SVMs in the cluster that have the CIFS protocol allowed

  GET "/api/svm/svms?cifs.allowed=true"
