aggr_list
-

List of aggregates assigned for volume operations.
These aggregates could be shared for use with other Vservers.
When specified as part of a vserver-create, this field represents the list of aggregates that are assigned to the Vserver for volume operations.
When part of vserver-get-iter call, this will return the list of Vservers which have any of the aggregates specified as part of the aggr list.

allowed_protocols
-

Allowed Protocols.
When specified as part of a vserver-create, this field represent the list of protocols allowed on the Vserver.
When part of vserver-get-iter call, this will return the list of Vservers which have any of the protocols specified as part of the allowed-protocols.
When part of vserver-modify, this field should include the existing list along with new protocol list to be added to prevent data disruptions.
Possible values
nfs NFS protocol,
cifs CIFS protocol,
fcp FCP protocol,
iscsi iSCSI protocol,
ndmp NDMP protocol,
http HTTP protocol,
nvme NVMe protocol

comment - added in 2.8 |  | When specified as part of a vserver-create, this field represents the comment associated with the Vserver. When part of vserver-get-iter call, this will return the list of matching Vservers.
from_name - added in 2.7 |  | Name of the SVM to be renamed
hostname string / required |  | The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.
http_port integer |  | Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port

https
boolean

name - / required |  | The name of the SVM to manage.
ontapi integer |  | The ontap api version to use
password string / required |  | Password for the specified user. aliases: pass
root_volume - |  | Root volume of the SVM. Cannot be modified after creation.

-

Choices:
- unix
- ntfs
- mixed
- unified

Security Style of the root volume.
When specified as part of the vserver-create, this field represents the security style for the Vserver root volume.

Cannot be modified after creation.

snapshot_policy - added in 2.7 |  | Default snapshot policy setting for all volumes of the Vserver. This policy will be assigned to all volumes created in this Vserver unless the volume create request explicitly provides a snapshot policy or volume is modified later with a specific snapshot policy. A volume-level snapshot policy always overrides the default Vserver-wide snapshot policy.

state
-

Choices:
