POST /protocols/san/vvol-bindings

Introduced In: 9.10

Creates a vVol binding. The binding between any two specific LUNs is reference counted. When a binding is created that already exists, the binding count is incremented.

Required properties

  • svm.uuid or svm.name - Existing SVM in which to create the vVol binding.

  • protocol_endpoint.uuid or protocol_endpoint.name - Existing class protocol_endpoint LUN to bind to the specified class vvol LUN.

  • vvol.uuid or vvol.name - Existing class vvol LUN to bind to the specified class protocol_endpoint LUN.

  • lun bind create

count

integer

The vVol binding between any two specific LUNs is reference counted. When a REST POST is executed for a vVol binding that already exists, the vVol binding reference count is incremented. When a REST DELETE is executed, the vVol binding reference count is decremented. Only when the vVol binding count reaches zero, or the query parameter delete_all_references is supplied, is the vVol binding destroyed.

id

integer

The ONTAP internal identifier assigned to the vVol binding. The bind identifier is unique amongst all class vvol LUNs bound to the same class protocol_endpoint LUN.

This property was included in early releases of the REST API for vVols and is maintained for backward compatibility. See the secondary_id property, which replaces id.

The specified SVM does not exist or is not accessible to the caller.

2621706

Both the SVM UUID and SVM name were supplied, but don't refer to the same SVM.

2621707

No SVM was specified. Either svm.name or svm.uuid must be supplied.

5374238

A LUN in a Snapshot copy was specified.

5374323

The LUN specified as the protocol endpoint LUN is not of class protocol_endpoint.

5374325

The LUN specified as the vVol LUN is not of class vvol.

5374874

The UUID and name supplied for the protocol endpoint of Vvol LUN do not refer to the same LUN. Use to the target property of the error object to differentiate between the protocol endpoint LUN and the vVol LUN.

5374875

The protocol endpoint or vVol LUN was not found or is not accessible to the caller. Use to the target property of the error object to differentiate between the protocol endpoint LUN and the vVol LUN.

5374876

The protocol endpoint or vVol LUN was not found in the SVM. Use to the target property of the error object to differentiate between the protocol endpoint LUN and the vVol LUN.

5374924

vvol_binding

A VMware virtual volume (vVol) binding is an association between a LUN of class protocol_endpoint and a LUN of class vvol. Class protocol_endpoint LUNs are mapped to igroups and granted access using the same configuration as class regular LUNs. When a class vvol LUN is bound to a mapped class protocol_endpoint LUN, VMware can access the class vvol LUN through the class protocol_endpoint LUN mapping.

Class protocol_endpoint and vvol LUNs support many-to-many vVol bindings. A LUN of one class can be bound to zero or more LUNs of the opposite class.

The vVol binding between any two specific LUNs is reference counted. When a REST POST is executed for a vVol binding that already exists, the vVol binding reference count is incremented. When a REST DELETE is executed, the vVol binding reference count is decremented. Only when the vVol binding count reaches zero, or the query parameter delete_all_references is supplied, is the vVol binding destroyed.
