Overview
You can use these API endpoints to update node configuration, delete node configuration, and retrieve the node status.
Adding a node to a compute cluster
A node can be added to an existing compute cluster by issuing a POST request on /dcn/cluster/nodes. If a compute cluster does not already exist, the API returns a 400 Bad Request error.
Examples
Adding a single node to a cluster
from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
from netapp_ontap.resources import DcnNode
with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
resource = DcnNode()
resource.serial_number = "4048820-60-9"
resource.post(hydrate=True)
print(resource)
DcnNode({"serial_number": "4048820-60-9"})
Adding multiple nodes to a cluster
Multiple nodes can be added by sending a "records" array containing each node to the API.
from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
from netapp_ontap.resources import DcnNode
with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
resource = DcnNode()
resource.records = [
{"serial_number": "4048820-60-9", "name": "node1"},
{"serial_number": "4048820-55-7", "name": "node2"},
]
resource.post(hydrate=True)
print(resource)
DcnNode({})
Discover available compute nodes
Available nodes eligible to join or create a compute cluster can be discovered by issuing a GET request on /dcn/cluster/nodes. If a compute cluster already exists, the query parameter "membership=available" must be used to discover nodes not already in the cluster. If there is no compute cluster, the query parameter is optional. When a compute cluster already exists and the membership query parameter is not sent, the API only returns information about nodes already participating in the cluster.
Examples
Discover available nodes to join
from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
from netapp_ontap.resources import DcnNode
with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
print(list(DcnNode.get_collection(membership="available")))

{

Delete a node from the cluster
from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
from netapp_ontap.resources import DcnNode
with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
resource = DcnNode(uuid="1152414e-2eb2-48b7-a960-4aa2cba312b6")
resource.delete()
Retrieving statistics and metrics for a node
In this example, the API returns the statistics and metric properties.
from netapp_ontap import HostConnection

Classes
class DcnNode (*args, **kwargs)-
Compute node information.
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.
Ancestors
Static methods
def count_collection (*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> int-
Returns a count of all DcnNode resources that match the provided query
This calls GET on the object to determine the number of records. It is more efficient than calling get_collection() because it will not construct any objects. Query parameters can be passed in as kwargs to determine a count of objects that match some filtered criteria.
Args
*args- Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the count of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
connection- The
HostConnectionobject to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context. **kwargs- Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. These query parameters can affect the count. A return_records query param will be ignored.
Returns
On success, returns an integer count of the objects of this type. On failure, returns -1.
Raises
NetAppRestError: If the API call returned a status code >= 400, or if there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library. def delete_collection (*args, records: Iterable[ForwardRef('DcnNode')] = None, body: Union[Resource, dict] = None, poll: bool = True, poll_interval: Optional[int] = None, poll_timeout: Optional[int] = None, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse-
Deletes the node. This is effectively a factory reset.

Delete all objects in a collection which match the given query.
All records on the host which match the query will be deleted.
Args
*args- Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to delete the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
records- Can be provided in place of a query. If so, this list of objects will be deleted from the host.
body- The body of the delete request. This could be a Resource instance or a dictionary object.
poll- If set to True, the call will not return until the asynchronous job on the host has completed. Has no effect if the host did not return a job response.
poll_interval- If the operation returns a job, this specifies how often to query the job for updates.
poll_timeout- If the operation returns a job, this specifies how long to continue monitoring the job's status for completion.
connection- The
HostConnectionobject to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context. **kwargs- Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. Only resources matching this query will be deleted.
Returns
A
NetAppResponseobject containing the details of the HTTP response.Raises
NetAppRestError: If the API call returned a status code >= 400 def fast_get_collection (*args, connection: HostConnection = None, max_records: int = None, **kwargs) -> Iterable[RawResource]-
Returns a list of RawResources that represent DcnNode resources that match the provided query
Fetch a list of all objects of this type from the host.
This is a lazy fetch, making API calls only as necessary when the result of this call is iterated over. For instance, if max_records is set to 5, then iterating over the collection causes an API call to be sent to the server once for every 5 records. If the client stops iterating before getting to the 6th record, then no additional API calls are made.Args
*args- Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
connection- The
HostConnectionobject to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context. max_records- The maximum number of records to return per call
raw- return a list of
netapp_ontap.resource.RawResourceobjects that require to be promoted before any RESTful operations can be used on them. Setting this argument to True makes get_collection substantially quicker when many records are returned from the server. **kwargs- Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.
Returns
A list of
ResourceobjectsRaises
NetAppRestError: If there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library. This would be not be raised when get_collection() is called, but rather when the result is iterated. def find (*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> Resource-
Retrieves a list of data compute nodes.

Find an instance of an object on the host given a query.
The host will be queried with the provided key/value pairs to find a matching resource. If 0 are found, None will be returned. If more than 1 is found, an error will be raised or returned. If there is exactly 1 matching record, then it will be returned.
Args
