VNXe API URL Login

Question

Hello, I'm trying to connect through the API into a VNXe3150 to get the list of Lun and make some tests. I will generate some Java code from the XSD file (If anyone have already done some binding! I will thanks him a lot!) But first, i'm trying to understand the way to login and logout through the API... When i'm trying to get the cookie session with the CURL tool: curl --insecure -X POST https://10.130.32.83/Login -d user=admin -d password=Password1234# -d Login=Login -D temp.file cat temp.file 'HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed Content-Length: 0 Connection: close' I have download the VNX Simulator and when i'm trying to access the URL https://10.130.32.83/Login it try to launch a Java Applet. Thanks for your help Aurélien

Hi Aurelien,

the VNXe has a different code base so the VNX simulator isnt applicable to a VNXe system.

With API if you mean the VNX file (Celerra) XML API - that currently isnt supported on the VNXe platform.

For VNXe you need to use the UIMCLI

Yes Correct,

I'm trying to use the VNX File XML API on the simulator also.

The issue i get is that when i'm trying to reach the API to make a Login through the url below:

https://10.130.32.83/Login

when i post on this url i get an applet Java and not XML answers.

If you have any input.

Thanks again for your help.
