InfoScale operations using REST APIs

InfoScale now provides REST APIs that you can use to programmatically configure and manage storage resources and clusters. REST APIs are also available to create and manage InfoScale users and to handle any authentication requests that are part of typical InfoScale functions.

To use these APIs, you must configure the InfoScale REST server. InfoScale lets you configure HA for the REST server by using the RestServer agent to configure a service group that is monitored.

Support for REST APIs is available only on the Linux platform for the following products and configurations:

  • InfoScale Enterprise: VCS, SFHA, SFCFSHA
  • InfoScale Storage: SFCFS
  • InfoScale Availability: VCS

For details, refer to the following documents:

  • Veritas InfoScale Solutions Guide
  • Cluster Server Bundled Agents Reference Guide
  • InfoScale REST API documentation

    This information is available in a YML file alongside other InfoScale documentation on the Veritas Beta Portal at: https://vxbeta.veritas.com.

To access the API documentation

  1. Open the following URL in a browser:

    https://editor.swagger.io

  2. Click File > Import file.
  3. Navigate to the location where you extracted the infoscale_80_beta1_docs.zip file earlier, and open the infoscale-openapi-external-v1.0.yml file.

    The API documentation is displayed in user-friendly format, where you can expand or collapse the description of each API.
