Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

return_records

boolean

query

False

The default is false. If set to true, the records are returned.

  • Default value:

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.

  • Default value: 1

  • Max value: 120

  • Min value: 0

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

aggregates

array[aggregates]

List of allowed aggregates for SVM volumes. An administrator is allowed to create volumes on these aggregates.

aggregates_delegated

boolean

This property is true when the administrator has delegated the aggregates for the SVM volumes.

anti_ransomware

arw_vserver

Anti-ransomware related information for the SVM.

anti_ransomware_auto_switch_duration_without_new_file_extension

integer

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that no new file-extensions are observed in the volume in recent time. This parameter optionally specifies the recent time duration (in days) to be considered during which no new file-extension should be observed in a given volume to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from '`learning`" to “enabled”.

anti_ransomware_auto_switch_from_learning_to_enabled

boolean

This property specifies whether anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM are automatically switched by the system from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” (active) state after sufficient learning.

anti_ransomware_auto_switch_minimum_file_count

integer

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that the volume should have a minimum file count in “learning” state. This parameter optionally specifies the minimum number of newly created files in “learning” state in a given volume to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from “learning” to “enabled”.

anti_ransomware_auto_switch_minimum_file_extension

integer

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that the volume should have minimum number of file extensions in “learning” state. This parameter optionally specifies the minimum number of new file extensions in “learning” state in a given volume to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from “learning” to “enabled”.

anti_ransomware_auto_switch_minimum_learning_period

integer

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that the volume should be in “learning” state for sufficient time period. This parameter optionally specifies the minimum number of days a given volume should be in “learning” state to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from “learning” to “enabled”.

anti_ransomware_default_volume_state

string

Specifies the default Anti-ransomware state of the volumes in the SVM. Default "anti_ransomware_default_volume_state" property is disabled for POST operation. If this value is "disabled", Anti-ransomware protection is disabled by default on the new volumes that are created in the SVM. If this value is "dry_run", Anti-ransomware protection is in learning mode by default on the new volumes that are created in the SVM. When the Anti-ransomware license is not present, this property is ignored and volumes will be created with the "disabled" state.

anti_ransomware_incoming_write_threshold

string

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that the volume should have sufficient data ingested to do the learning. This parameter optionally specifies the minimum amount of data (in GB) to be written to a given volume during the learning period to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from “learning” to “enabled”. The amount of data considered as ingested also includes the data that is deleted or overwritten after ingestion.

anti_ransomware_incoming_write_threshold_percent

string

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that the volume should have sufficient data ingested to do the learning. This parameter optionally specifies the minimum amount of data (in percentage) to be written to a given volume during the learning period to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from “learning” to “enabled”. The amount of data considered as ingested also includes the data that is deleted or overwritten after ingestion.

Specifies whether volume activity tracking is automatically enabled on volumes that are created in the SVM.

auto_enable_analytics

boolean

Specifies whether file system analytics is automatically enabled on volumes that are created in the SVM.

qos_adaptive_policy_group_template

This optionally specifies which QoS adaptive policy group to apply to the SVM as a template. This policy group will then be assigned to volumes created or rehosted into this SVM. This policy group defines measurable service level objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that adjust based on the volume allocated space or used space.

qos_policy

qos_policy

This optionally specifies which QoS policy group to apply to the Vserver. This policy group defines measurable service level objectives (SLOs) that apply to the storage objects with which the policy group is associated.

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that the volume should have a minimum file count in “learning” state. This parameter optionally specifies the minimum number of newly created files in “learning” state in a given volume to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state from “learning” to “enabled”.

If this value is "disabled", Anti-ransomware protection is disabled by default on the new volumes that are created in the SVM. If this value is "dry_run", Anti-ransomware protection is in learning mode by default on the new volumes that are created in the SVM. When the Anti-ransomware license is not present, this property is ignored and volumes will be created with the "disabled" state.

anti_ransomware_incoming_write_threshold

string

One of the many conditions to be satisfied to automatically switch the anti-ransomware state of the volumes in this SVM from “learning” (dry-run) to “enabled” is that the volume should have sufficient data ingested to do the learning.
