Copyright © 2019 NetApp Inc. All rights reserved.

Overview

A world wide port name (WWPN) is a unique 64-bit identifier for a Fibre Channel (FC) initiator. It is displayed as a 16-character hexadecimal value. SAN administrators may find it easier to identify FC initiators using an alias, especially in larger SANs.
The WWPN alias REST API allows you to create, delete, and discover aliases for WWPNs.
Multiple aliases can be created for a WWPN, but you cannot use the same alias for multiple WWPNs.
An alias can consist of up to 32 characters. Valid characters are:

  • A through Z
  • a through z
  • numbers 0 through 9
  • hyphen ("-")
  • underscore ("_")
  • left and right braces ("{", "}")
  • period (".")

Examples

Creating a WWPN alias

# The API:
POST /api/network/fc/wwpn-aliases
# The call:
curl -X POST "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/network/fc/wwpn-aliases" -H "accept: application/json" -d '{ "svm": { "name": "svm1" }, "wwpn": "50:0a:09:82:b4:30:25:05", "alias": "alias3" }'

Retrieving all of the properties of all the WWPN aliases

The fields query parameter is used to request that all properties be returned.

curl -X GET "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/network/fc/wwpn-aliases/68589d3d-7efa-11e8-9eed-005056b43025/alias2" -H "accept: application/hal+json"

Deleting a WWPN alias

The alias to delete is identified by the UUID of its SVM and the alias name.

# The API:
DELETE /api/network/fc/wwpn-aliases/{svm.uuid}/{alias}
# The call:
curl -X DELETE "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/network/fc/wwpn-aliases/68589d3d-7efa-11e8-9eed-005056b43025/alias2" -H "accept: application/hal+json"

Classes

class WwpnAlias (*args, **kwargs)

A Fibre Channel (FC) world wide port name (WWPN) alias. A WWPN is a unique 64-bit identifier for an FC initiator. It is displayed as a 16-character hexadecimal value. SAN administrators may find it easier to identify FC initiators using an alias, especially in larger SANs.

Initialize the instance of the resource.

Any keyword arguments are set on the instance as properties. For example, if the class was named 'MyResource', then this statement would be true:

MyResource(name='foo').name == 'foo'

Args

*args
Each positional argument represents a parent key as used in the URL of the object. That is, each value will be used to fill in a segment of the URL which refers to some parent object. The order of these arguments must match the order they are specified in the URL, from left to right.
**kwargs
each entry will have its key set as an attribute name on the instance and its value will be the value of that attribute.
