Method get_snapmirror_status() (ClusterMode) added. Method get_snapmirror_status() (SevenMode) changed. Returning dict contains now the key snapmirror_status. This key returns the current state of the snapmirror replication process and can be used for both modes.

v3.6.0

v3.5.0

Parameter verify added to nidhogg.get_netapp().

If true, it checks the certificate of the filer. Default is false.

Travis testing

setup.py fixes

v3.00

First public release.

v2.14

Method update_snapmirror() (SevenMode) changed. Method update_snapmirror_with_snapshot() (SevenMode) changed. Param source_filer, source_volume and source_qtree introduced.

Update a qtree on a snapmirror destination. Connect to the destination filer, specify destination volume and qtree, source filer, volume and qtree and invoke command.

Attention

If source_filer, source_volume and source_qtree (source location) are not specified (default), then the source in /etc/snapmirror.conf for the destination path must be present.

Example:

import nidhogg
dst = nidhogg.get_netapp("filer13.example.com", "<username>", "<password>")
dst.update_snapmirror_with_snapshot(
    name="userdir"
    destination_volume="sm_filer47_nidhoggtest",
    destination_qtree="nidhoggtest",
    source_filer="filer47.example.com",
    source_volume="nidhoggtest",
    source_qtree="nidhoggtest"
)

Method get_snapmirror_volume_status() (SevenMode) introduced. Get details about snapmirror status of the specified volume.

Example:

import nidhogg
dst = nidhogg.get_netapp("filer13.example.com", "<username>", "<password>")
dst.get_snapmirror_volume_status("sm_filer48_userhome_LCP")
>> {'is_source': False, 'is_destination': True, 'is_transfer_broken': False, 'is_transfer_in_progress': False}

Waiting time for the quota resize operation to finish increased to 2 minutes.

v2.13

Method update_snapmirror_with_snapshot() (SevenMode) introduced. Trigger the snapmirror replication using the named snapshot. Connect to the destination filer, specify snapshot name and destination volume and invoke command.

Example:

import nidhogg
filer = nidhogg.get_netapp("filer99.example.com", "<username>", "<password>")
filer.update_snapmirror_with_snapshot("nightly.1", "sq_filer99_test001", "smtest")

v2.12

Method get_snapmirror_status() (SevenMode) introduced. Check the status of snapmirror relations. Connect to the destination filer, specify volume of source or destination (optional) and qtree of source or destination (optional) and invoke command.

Example:

import nidhogg
filer = nidhogg.get_netapp("filer99.example.com", "<username>", "<password>")
# return status of all snapmirror relations
status_list = filer.get_snapmirror_status()
# return status of snapmirror relations of specified volume
status_list = filer.get_snapmirror_status("sq_filer99_test001")
# return status of snapmirror relations of specified volume and qtree
status_list = filer.get_snapmirror_status("sq_filer99_test001", "smtest")

v2.11

Method update_snapmirror() (SevenMode) introduced. Trigger the snapmirror replication. Connect to the destination filer, specify destination volume and qtree (optional) and invoke command.

Example:

import nidhogg
filer = nidhogg.get_netapp("filer99.example.com", "<username>", "<password>")
filer.update_snapmirror("sq_filer99_test001", "smtest")

v2.8

Param local_volumes_only removed from list_volumes (ClusterMode).

This ‘feature’ removed all volumes where the owning_vserver != hostname (hostname is derived from the connection string). So, if you connected to the filer via DNS alias, no volumes were found.

Originally it was used to filter volumes when connecting to a filer cluster. Not used in production mode.

v2.7

Method create_cifs_share() (ClusterMode) now also uses param group_name. Cluster-mode filers with ONTAPI 1.3 supports “force group name”.

Method set_cifs_acl() (ClusterMode) now sets also the correct user-group-type for the specified user or group:

  • if param set_group_rights is True, user-group-type is “unix_group”
  • if param set_group_rights is False, user-group-type is “unix_user”
  • if param set_group_rights is None, user-group-type is “windows”

v2.6

Param user_name removed from create_cifs_share. Had no effect.
