This feature enables you to specify specific ESXi host address to be allowed for datastore mount operation.

When you have multiple IP addresses for ESXi hosts, all the discovered IP addresses from the host are added to an Export policy. If you do not want to add all IP addresses to export policy, provide a setting for whitelisted IP addresses in a comma separated list or range or CIDR, or combination of all three for each vCenter.

If the setting is not provided, export policy adds all IP addresses discovered in the pre-mount step. If the setting is provided, ONTAP tools adds only the ones which fall within the whitelisted IPs or range. If none of the IPs of a host belong to the whitelisted IPs, the mount on that host fails.

By default all host IP's are added to the export policy.

Use the following API to add IP addresses for whitelisting:

patch /api/v1/vcenters/{vcguid}/settings/ip-whitelist

{
    value: string
}

GET /api/v1/vcenters/{vcguid}/settings/ip-whitelist

{
    value: string
}
