About

This is a human-made Python implementation of relevant parts of NetApp's ZAPI.

Supported Systems

Currently, only DFM 6.3/6.4 and ONTAP is supported.

Implemented Features

DFM:

• Events (just reading)

ONTAP:

• Volumes (reading)
• Snapshots (reading)
• Locks (reading)

Examples

Connect to a server:

s = Server(hostname="netapp-1234", username="admin",
           password="admin123")

Get a secific event:

event = s.events.single_by_id(13)

Filter events:

for event in s.events.filter(greater_than_id=13):
    print(event)

Pagination is automatically handled via Python generators:

for event in s.events.filter(max_records=4):
        print(event)
        # Will perform multiple queries under the hood

Setup

1. mkvirtualenv netapp-api-python
2. workon netapp-api-python
3. pip install -r requirements.txt
4. python setup.py develop

Testing

Set the environment variables to a host running NetApp OCUM NETAPP_HOST, NETAPP_USERNAME, and NETAPP_PASSWORD and run pytest. To test ONTAP set ONTAP_HOST, etc.

Offline tests are enabled using Betamax, which records test data from interaction with the servers and stores it in the cassettes directory. One "cassette" is generated per test.

Generating documentation

Documentation via Sphinx is available (more or less). You can generate HTML documentation by going to /doc/ and entering make html.

The generated documentation is available on GitHub pages.
