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)

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")))

[
    DcnNode(
        {
            "serial_number": "4048820-32-5",
            "name": "node1",
            "membership": "available",
            "uuid": "f8b16514-cb03-44e0-8efd-9feec9c3fb3e",
        }
    ),
    DcnNode(
        {
            "serial_number": "4048820-47-2",
            "name": "node2",
            "membership": "available",
            "uuid": "f8b16514-cb03-44e0-8efd-9feec9c3fb3f",
        }
    ),
]

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 HostConnection object 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 HostConnection object 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 NetAppResponse object 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 HostConnection object 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.RawResource objects 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 Resource objects

Raises

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

*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 find a bar for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
connection
The HostConnection object 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.

Returns

A Resource object containing the details of the object or None if no matches were found.

Raises
