PKey GUIDs Rest API

Warning

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: Allows creating a PKey without GUIDs.

  • Request URL: POST /ufmRest/resources/pkeys/add

  • Request Content Type: Application/json

  • Request Data Example:

    Copy

    {  "pkey":"0x12",     "index0":false,       "ip_over_ib":true,  "mtu_limit":2,       "service_level":0,   "rate_limit":2.5    }

The required parameters are PKey only, all the others are optional and take the default in case they were not sent.

  • 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.
