PKey GUIDs Rest API
Note that the previous PKey GUIDs APIs based on /ufmRest/actions/ are deprecated and being replaced by the new set of APIs below (based on /ufmRest/resources/).
Description – allows users to manage PKey GUIDs by getting, adding, and removing GUIDs from PKeys.
Request URL – /ufmRest/resources/
Main Operations
Add GUIDs to PKey
Remove GUIDs from PKey
Get a Specific PKey
Get all PKeys
Set GUIDs for PKey
Delete PKey
Update QoS for PKey
Description – adds a list of configured GUIDs to PKey.
Request URL – POST /ufmRest/resources/pkeys/
Request Content Type – Application/json
Request Data Parameters
Name
Value
Default
Description
Mandatory/
Optional
guids
["…",… ".."]
Each GUID is a hexadecimal string with a minimum length of 16 characters and maximum length of 20 characters
None
List of port GUIDs
Mandatory
pkey
Hexadecimal string between "0x0"-"0x7fff" exclusive
None
Network PKey
Mandatory
index0
Boolean: true/false
False
If true, the API will store the PKey at index 0 of the PKey table of the GUID.
Optional
ip_over_ib
Boolean: true/false
True
PKey is a member in a multicast group that uses IP over InfiniBand
Optional
membership
“full”, “limited”
"full"
“full”- members with full membership can communicate with all hosts (members) within the network/partition
“limited” - members with limited membership cannot communicate with other members with limited membership. However, communication is allowed between every other combination of membership types.
Optional
memberships
[“full”, “limited”, ...]
List of “full” or “limited” comma-separated strings. It must be the same length as the GUIDs list. Each value by an index represents a GUID membership.
[]
List of memberships to allow users to create or modify different membership per GUID in same PKey. GUID index 0 in the “guids” list will take index 0 from the memberships list and so on (by order)
This parameter is optional. This parameter conflicts with the “membership” parameter. Users must select either a list of memberships or just one membership for all GUIDs.
