LibstoragMgmt previously offered two ways to management NetApp ONTAP storage array:

The NetApp 7-mode plugin has been removed as NetApp has deprecated the API. We are leaving the documentation here in case you are using a very old array and are using older versions of libStorageMgmt. The SMI-S method offers a subset of the functionality the native API provided.

Native NetApp ONTAP SDK. (Removed)

You need to install the package libstoragemgmt-ontap-plugin if you didn’t install using the distribution tarball.

Please contact NetApp support to enable http/https management interface or use this command at your own risk:

options httpd.enable on
options httpd.admin.enable on
options httpd.admin.ssl.enable on

The URI would be:

ontap://username@host
ontap+ssl://username@host
# The 'username' is the management username of NetApp ONTAP.
# The 'host' is the ip/hostname of ONTAP Filer management interface.

NetApp ONTAP SMI-S provider

NetApp is using proxy SMI-S provider. You need to install the package libstoragemgmt-smis-plugin if you didn’t install using the distribution tarball.

Please contact NetApp support to install and configure a SMI-S provider service on your server. The URI would be:

    smispy://username@host
    smispy+ssl://username@host
    # The 'username' is the user name of server you installed SMI-S
    # providers on.
    # The 'host' is the ip/hostname of server you installed SMI-S
    # providers on.

For ‘SSL error: certificate verify failed’ error, it means libstoragemgmt failed to verify NetApp SMI-S providers’ SSL public keys with system wide PKI/x509. Please contact NetApp support to setup the self-signed certification.

If you want to ignore the SSL check error which is not suggested, please add no_ssl_verify=yes in your URI, like this:

smispy+ssl://username@host?no_ssl_verify=yes

The following are the steps used by ourselves on NetApp SMI-S provider
installation and configuration.
