Nimble REST API: Get info about iSCSI and FC settings

[mijn7]

How I can get information about FC and iSCSI adapters on Nimble strorage by REST API?

In UI this settings are accessible in Administration->Network Configuration.

I'am interesrted in WWNN and WWPN for each FC adapter.

and IP address for iSCSI data traffic.

Thanks!

I have found the documentation suite for the REST API suite on InfoSight.  Proceed with your normal login, click on the upper right "cloud" icon (downloads).  Then under the "Nimble OS" tab, select release 2.3.9 and the available documents will list just below.  You will see the "API Reference".  It will download "pubs_api_reverence_2.3.zip".  The specific information you seek is under "Object Sets > initiators > Read" and you will find the details.  Note:  I do not see WWNN only WWPN.  Hope this helps.

Initiators is quite the opposite for what I want.

In documentation for this objects set:

Manage initiators in initiator groups. An initiator group has a set of initiators that can be configured as part of your ACL to access a specific volume through group membership.

So, it returns IQNs and WWNs for initiators groups that I added to Nimble f.e ESX, Windows server etc.

But I want information about Nimble adapters. IP addresses for iSCSI data and WWN for FC.

I found this informaion in Nimble Storage Command Line throught SSH.  Commands "fc --list" and "ip --list" return desired information.

Nimble OS $ fc --list

There was no API access to this information in NimbleOS 2.3, however it has been added in NimbleOS 3.  See the API reference for full detail, but for the Fibre Channel target, you could use the new fibre_channel_interfaces API.  In the following example, I'm using the "fields" query within the API URI itself to restrict output to just the fields I want to see:

URI: https://<MYARRAY>:5392/v1/fibre_channel_interfaces/detail?fields=controller_name,name,wwnn,wwpn,online

Response:

{

    "data":  [

                 {

                     "controller_name":  "A",

                     "name":  "fc5.1",

                     "wwnn":  "56:c9:ce:90:5d:ba:40:00",

                     "wwpn":  "56:c9:ce:90:5d:ba:40:01",

                     "online":  "true"

                 },

                 {

                     "controller_name":  "A",

                     "name":  "fc6.1",

                     "wwnn":  "56:c9:ce:90:5d:ba:40:00",

                     "wwpn":  "56:c9:ce:90:5d:ba:40:02",

                     "online":  "true"

                 },

                 {

                     "controller_name":  "B",

                     "name":  "fc5.1",

                     "wwnn":  "56:c9:ce:90:5d:ba:40:00",

                     "wwpn":  "56:c9:ce:90:5d:ba:40:03",

                     "online":  "true"

                 },

                 {

                     "controller_name":  "B",

                     "name":  "fc6.1",

                     "wwnn":  "56:c9:ce:90:5d:ba:40:00",

                     "wwpn":  "56:c9:ce:90:5d:ba:40:04",

                     "online":  "true"

                 }

             ],

    "startRow":  0,

    "endRow":  4,

    "totalRows":  4

}

For iSCSI, you can use the new subnets API.
