    Default Cmdline util Using SOAP RPC API?

    Has anyone wriiten or seen an implementation of the Open-E SOAP RPC API (ref. Cookbook SOAP.pdf on Open-e 'site) that would give functionality from a commandline utilit, rather than via Python? (I do some programming, but don't wish to learn Python!).

    I remember NetApp supplied a commandline util with their FAS units that allows access to (amoung other things) snapshots (creating, scheduling, mouting, deleting). So you could make cmd batch files to run sheduled (eg. using "at") or before/after (say) a backup.

    Just a thought. Cheers.

    The only SOAP Cookbook that I have is related to Snapshots w/ iSCSI and databases to stop the database to allow the snapshot to function. If you email me I will send it to you.

    Topics Discussed in this Cookbook:

    In this Cookbook you will find topics how to install and use Open-E API
    -SOAP RPC in practical manner. You will find example of practical ready to use
    script. SOAP RPC API provides interface in communication between user
    application and Open-E iSCSI family products. Users can write applications
    that are using this API in almost any language, this Cookbook is written on
    example of Microsoft Windows and Python programing language. Users can
    from their applications, for example create or remove snapshots, create or
    remove targets and do other operation on targets and snapshots.
    API uses fpconst and SOAPY libraries for Python.

    What you will need
    1. Microsoft Windows operating system
    2. Microsoft iSCSI initiator
    3. Windows Diskpart utility(http://www.microsoft.com)
    4. Python programing language Windows installer
    (http://python.org/download/releases/)
    5. Fpconst library for Python
    (http://research.warnes.net/projects/...erver/fpconst/)
    6. SOAPY library for Python (http://soapy.sourceforge.net/)

    Who Should Use This Cookbook:

    This Cookbook is for developers that want to create applications that are
    using Open-E family products functions on layer of application. Here you will
    find ready to use practical example of script written with SOAP RPC API. Script
    is written in Python programing language.
    All the best,

    Just sent it to you . Keep in mind that we won’t be able to support this so help each other out if you have knowledge on this subject. This actually was developed from one of our customers.

    See how important you all are to Open-E!!
    All the best,
