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.
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.
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.
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.
