Dataset Add Resource Pool operation

The Dataset Add Resource Pool operation adds a resource pool to an existing dataset.

The following table describes the elements for this request.


Adapter request elements for the Dataset Add Resource Pool operation

Element

Definition

Required

<operation-name>

Specifies the name of the operation: dataset-add-resource-pool

Yes

<arguments>

Specifies a list of arguments required for the operation

Yes

<targets>

Contains the parent XML element for the <target> element, which specifies the dynamic targets

Conditional; required if the adapter configuration is empty in Grid Manager

<target>

Contains the child XML <targets> element, which specifies the dynamic targets

Using dynamic targets, you can define connection information for a remote host in an adapter request. This capability enables you to configure an adapter in Grid Manager by specifying configuration information in an adapter request.

This XML element can have <host>, <user-name>, <password>, <protocol>, and <port> as its child elements.

Notes


  • An adapter configuration specified by using request-level dynamic targets takes precedence over Grid Manager level configuration information.
  • If you specify the request-level dynamic target by using <targets>, the request ignores the <targets> element that is a child of the <arguments> element.

Conditional; required if <targets> is present in the adapter request

<host>

Specifies the host name or IP address of the server on which NetApp DataFabric Manager is running

Conditional; required if <targets> is present in the adapter request

<user-name>

Specifies the user name required to log on to the NetApp DataFabric Manager

Conditional; required if <targets> is present in the adapter request

<password>

Specifies the password that corresponds to the <user-name>

The <password> element can contain an encryption-type attribute. The encryption-type attribute indicates whether the password specified is encrypted.

Valid values for encryption-type attribute: Base64, Plain (default)

Conditional; required if <targets> is present in the adapter request

<protocol>

Specifies the communication protocol used by the adapter

Valid values: http (default), https

No

<port>

Specifies the port on which the NetApp DataFabric Manager is enabled

Default values: 8088 (http), 8488 (https)

No

<target>

Specifies the child XML element of the <arguments> element

You can use this element to specify the connection information for a DFM server. You can use a comma-separated list of configuration names, which executes the request simultaneously on all DFM servers identified by the configuration names.

Valid values:

  • The values specified for the <target> XML element must be the same as the values that have been specified for the name attribute of the <config> element in the Grid Manager adapter configuration.
  • You can provide "ALL" as the value. In this case, the request is executed on all the DFM servers defined in the Grid Manager adapter configuration.
  • You can specify multiple comma-separated names to allow for simultaneous execution of requests across multiple DFM servers.
  • You can skip this element. In this case, the request is executed on the first defined Grid Manager adapter configuration.
  • You can leave this element empty. In this case, the request is executed on the first defined Grid Manager adapter configuration.

    Note

    If you specify a request-level dynamic target by using <targets>, the request ignores this element.

No

<dataset-name-or-id>

Specifies the name or identifier of the data set that is to be edited

Yes

<resourcepool-name-or-id>

Specifies the name or object identifier of the resource pool that is to be added to the storage set

Yes

<dp-node-name>

Specifies the name of the node in the data protection policy that maps to the storage set

The <dp-node-name> must be an exact match of the name of one of the nodes in the data protection policy that is currently assigned to the data set. If you do not specify the <dp-node-name>, then the storage set associated with the root node is modified.

No

<force>

Specifies whether a new dataset edit session should be started irrespective whether an edit is in progress

If TRUE and an edit is already in progress on the specified data set or an object, the data set is dependent on (such as a data protection policy), the previous edit session is rolled back and a new edit session is started.

Valid values: true, false (default)

No
