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. Default value: 1 Max value: 120 Min value: 0

ONTAP Error Response Codes

Error Code	Description
5636142	This operation is not supported in a mixed-release cluster.
5636145	This operation is not supported when cluster security is configured with FIPS mode.
52428817	SSLv3 is not supported when FIPS is enabled.
52428824	TLSv1 is not supported when FIPS is enabled.
52428830	Cannot enable FIPS-compliant mode because the configured minimum security strength for certificates is not compatible.
52428832	TLSv1.1 is not supported when FIPS is enabled.
52559974	Cannot enable FIPS-compliant mode because a certificate that is not FIPS-compliant is in use.

Name	Type	Description
enabled	boolean	Indicates whether or not the software FIPS mode is enabled on the cluster. Our FIPS compliance involves configuring the use of only approved algorithms in applicable contexts (for example TLS), as well as the use of formally validated cryptographic module software implementations, where applicable. The US government documents concerning FIPS 140-2 outline the relevant security policies in detail.

software_data_encryption

Cluster-wide software data encryption related information.

Name	Type	Description
conversion_enabled	boolean	Indicates whether or not software encryption conversion is enabled on the cluster. A PATCH request initiates the conversion of all non-encrypted metadata volumes in the cluster to encrypted metadata volumes and all non-NAE aggregates to NAE aggregates. For the PATCH request to start, the cluster must have either an Onboard or an external key manager set up and the aggregates should either be empty or have only metadata volumes. No data volumes should be present in any of the aggregates in the cluster. For MetroCluster configurations, a PATCH request enables conversion on all the aggregates and metadata volumes of both local and remote clusters and is not allowed when the MetroCluster is in switchover state.
disabled_by_default	boolean	Indicates whether or not default software data at rest encryption is disabled on the cluster.
