ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere 10.1

SVM aggregate mapping requirements

Contributors netapp-jani

To use SVM user credentials for provisioning datastores, ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere creates volumes on the aggregate specified in the datastores POST API. ONTAP does not allow the creation of volumes on unmapped aggregates on an SVM using SVM user credentials. To resolve this, map the SVMs with the aggregates using the ONTAP REST API or CLI as described here.

ONTAP REST API:

PATCH "/api/svm/svms/f16f0935-5281-11e8-b94d-005056b46485"
'{"aggregates":{"name":["aggr1","aggr2","aggr3"]}}'

ONTAP CLI:
