Module netapp_ontap.resources.consistency_group_snapshot

Copyright © 2022 NetApp Inc. All rights reserved.

Overview

Consistency groups support Snapshot copy create, inventory, and restore. Snapshot copies can be created on a specified schedule or on-demand. On-demand Snapshot copies can have a type of application consistent or crash consistent. Crash consistent is the default. Scheduled Snapshot copiess are always crash consistent. There is no functional difference in ONTAP between crash consistent or application consistent Snapshot copies.
The functionality provided by these APIs is not integrated with the host application. Snapshot copies have limited value without host coordination, so the use of the SnapCenter Backup Management suite is recommended to ensure correct interaction between host applications and ONTAP.

On-Demand Snapshot Copies

A manual Snapshot copy may be created on-demand for a parent consistency group and for any of the children consistency groups within it.
Scheduled and manual Snapshot copy creation operations are subject to a pre-defined seven second internal timeout. If the Snapshot copy creation operation does not complete within this time, it is aborted.
Individual volume Snapshot copies within a consistency group Snapshot copies can be accessed and used with native volume Snapshot copy operations.
When an individual volume Snapshot copy is deleted that is part of a consistency group Snapshot copy, then that consistency group Snapshot copy becomes invalid and which cannot be used for restoring the consistency group.

Restoring to a Previous Snapshot Copy

A Snapshot copy restores to a parent consistency group from an existing parent consistency group's Snapshot copy. A Snapshot copy restores to any of the children's consistency groups within it from an existing children's consistency group. Granular Snapshot copies are supported. This is performed by a PATCH operation on the specific consistency group for the restore. An example is shown in PATCH /application/consistency-groups.
Any existing Snapshot copies that were created chronologically after the time of the Snapshot copy used in a successful restore operation is deleted, in compliance with existing ONTAP "future-snapshot" handling principles.
On failures during consistency group restores, any volumes that have been restored will remain so and will not be rolled back. The user must retry the failed restore operation until it is successful. The user can retry with consistency group restore or individual volume-granular restore.

Consistency group Snapshot APIs

The following APIs are used to perform operations related to consistency group Snapshot copies:

  • GET /api/application/consistency-groups/snapshots
  • POST /api/application/consistency-groups/snapshots
  • GET /api/application/consistency-groups/snapshots/{uuid}
  • DELETE /api/application/consistency-groups/snapshots/{uuid}

Examples

Required properties

  • consistency_group.uuid - Existing consistency group UUID in which to create the Snapshot copy.

Classes

class ConsistencyGroupSnapshot (*args, **kwargs)

Allows interaction with ConsistencyGroupSnapshot objects on the host

Initialize the instance of the resource.

Any keyword arguments are set on the instance as properties. For example, if the class was named 'MyResource', then this statement would be true:

MyResource(name='foo').name == 'foo'

Args

*args
Each positional argument represents a parent key as used in the URL of the object. That is, each value will be used to fill in a segment of the URL which refers to some parent object. The order of these arguments must match the order they are specified in the URL, from left to right.
**kwargs
each entry will have its key set as an attribute name on the instance and its value will be the value of that attribute.

Ancestors

Static methods

def count_collection(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> int

Fetch a count of all objects of this type from the host.

This calls GET on the object to determine the number of records. It is more efficient than calling get_collection() because it will not construct any objects. Query parameters can be passed in as kwargs to determine a count of objects that match some filtered criteria.

Args

*args
Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the count of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
connection
The HostConnection object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
**kwargs
Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. These query parameters can affect the count. A return_records query param will be ignored.

Returns

On success, returns an integer count of the objects of this type. On failure, returns -1.

Raises

NetAppRestError: If the API call returned a status code >= 400, or if there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library.

def delete_collection(*args, records: Iterable[_ForwardRef('ConsistencyGroupSnapshot')] = None, body: Union[Resource, dict] = None, poll: bool = True, poll_interval: Union[int, NoneType] = None, poll_timeout: Union[int, NoneType] = None, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse

Deletes a Snapshot copy of a consistency group.

Examples

Delete all objects in a collection which match the given query.

All records on the host which match the query will be deleted.

Args

*args
Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to delete the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
records
Can be provided in place of a query. If so, this list of objects will be deleted from the host.
body
The body of the delete request. This could be a Resource instance or a dictionary object.
poll
If set to True, the call will not return until the asynchronous job on the host has completed. Has no effect if the host did not return a job response.
poll_interval
If the operation returns a job, this specifies how often to query the job for updates.
poll_timeout
If the operation returns a job, this specifies how long to continue monitoring the job's status for completion.
connection
The HostConnection object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
**kwargs
Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. Only resources matching this query will be deleted.

Returns

A NetAppResponse object containing the details of the HTTP response.

Raises

NetAppRestError: If the API call returned a status code >= 400

def find(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> Resource

Retrieves Snapshot copies for a consistency group.

Expensive properties

There is an added cost to retrieving values for these properties. They are not included by default in GET results and must be explicitly requested using the fields query parameter. See DOC Requesting specific fields to learn more. * is_partial * missing_voumes.uuid * missing_voumes.name

Find an instance of an object on the host given a query.

The host will be queried with the provided key/value pairs to find a matching resource. If 0 are found, None will be returned. If more than 1 is found, an error will be raised or returned. If there is exactly 1 matching record, then it will be returned.

Args

*args
Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to find a bar for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
connection
The HostConnection object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
**kwargs
Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

Returns

A Resource object containing the details of the object or None if no matches were found.

Raises

NetAppRestError: If the API call returned more than 1 matching resource.

def get_collection(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, max_records: int = None, **kwargs) -> Iterable[Resource]

Retrieves Snapshot copies for a consistency group.

Expensive properties

There is an added cost to retrieving values for these properties. They are not included by default in GET results and must be explicitly requested using the fields query parameter. See DOC Requesting specific fields to learn more. * is_partial * missing_voumes.uuid * missing_voumes.name

Learn more


Fetch a list of all objects of this type from the host.

This is a lazy fetch, making API calls only as necessary when the result of this call is iterated over. For instance, if max_records is set to 5, then iterating over the collection causes an API call to be sent to the server once for every 5 records. If the client stops iterating before getting to the 6th record, then no additional API calls are made.

Args

*args
Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
connection
The HostConnection object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
max_records
The maximum number of records to return per call
**kwargs
Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

Returns

A list of Resource objects

Raises

NetAppRestError: If there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library. This would be not be raised when get_collection() is called, but rather when the result is iterated.

def post_collection(records: Iterable[_ForwardRef('ConsistencyGroupSnapshot')], *args, hydrate: bool = False, poll: bool = True, poll_interval: Union[int, NoneType] = None, poll_timeout: Union[int, NoneType] = None, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> Union[List[ConsistencyGroupSnapshot], NetAppResponse]

Send this collection of objects to the host as a creation request.

Args

records
A list of Resource objects to send to the server to be created.
*args
Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to create a bar for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
hydrate
If set to True, after the response is received from the call, a a GET call will be made to refresh all fields of each object. When hydrate is set to True, poll must also be set to True.
poll
If set to True, the call will not return until the asynchronous job on the host has completed. Has no effect if the host did not return a job response.
poll_interval
If the operation returns a job, this specifies how often to query the job for updates.
poll_timeout
If the operation returns a job, this specifies how long to continue monitoring the job's status for completion.
connection
The HostConnection object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
**kwargs
Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. Only resources matching this query will be patched.

Returns

A list of Resource objects matching the provided
type which have been created by the host and returned. This is _not_
 
the same list that was provided, so to continue using the object, you
 

should save this list. If poll is set to False, then a NetAppResponse object is returned instead.

Raises

NetAppRestError: If the API call returned a status code >= 400

Methods

def delete(self, body: Union[Resource, dict] = None, poll: bool = True, poll_interval: Union[int, NoneType] = None, poll_timeout: Union[int, NoneType] = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse
