To help set up and manage Cloud Mobility using the REST API, Unisphere 9.2 adds new endpoints that manage cloud providers, networking, cloud snapshots, and more. The most recent PowerMax REST documentation can found by going to your embedded management instance of Unisphere for PowerMax at:
https://{ip-address|hostname}:8443/univmax/restapi/docs
The versioned calls are under the new branch of the API at the following URL:
https://{ip-address|hostname}:8443/univmax/restapi/restapi/92/
Note: The Dell REST API officially supports up to three versions of the API in a release of Unisphere with N-2 version support. Version 9.2 supports API versions 9.2, 9.1, and 9.0. When Unisphere is upgraded, REST API continues to work the same. However, newer versions of a call may provide extra functionality. Check the REST API change log available on Dell.com/support.
Create a Cloud Provider REST API (POST): Cloud providers can also be viewed or modified with REST GET and PUT calls under https://{ipaddress|hostname}:8443/univmax/restapi/92/system/symmetrix/{symmetrixId}/cloud/cloudprovider/{cloud_provider_id}. Figure 39 shows an example to create an ECS cloud provider. Figure 40 shows the details of a cloud provider.
Create an On-Demand Cloud Snapshot REST API (POST): Cloud snapshots can be created, modified, or viewed with REST POST, DELETE, LIST, or GET calls under https://{ipaddress|hostname}:8443/univmax/restapi/92/replication/symmetrix/{symmetrixId}/storagegroup/{storageGroupId}/cloudsnapshot. The following figure shows an example of creating a cloud snapshot for a storage group that will expire in 30 days.
