What the REST API call for discover unmananged volumes ? VIPR 3.5
I am trying to figure out whats the REST API call for performing the catalog action "Discover Unmanaged Volumes".
I found this in the REST API guide : POST /vdc/storage-systems/discover
but it doesn't seem to be updating unmanaged volumes information on VIPR controller. It just performs a quick discover that lasts about 2 minutes per VMAX.
I've tried to test above API call and tried to ingest volumes. But the unmanaged volumes are not getting updated. However when i use catalog item "Discover Unmanaged Volumes", i was able to perform ingest successfully.
I'm on VIPR controller version 3.5
Following document doesn't have API method to perform this task.
Appreciate your help.

I just give a try to run the service in GUI, then had a look at the apisvc logs:
Request: POST - https://localhost:4443/vdc/storage-systems/urn:storageos:StorageSystem:cc84938a-9208-498b-8d34-9723a0af4679:vdc1/discover - namespace=UNMANAGED_VOLUMES from 127.0.0.1
So it seems you're almost on track. You just need to enter the URN of the StorageSystem you want to discover the Unmanaged Volumes.

just to second what Julien said...I found this info from an email exchange that I happened to be copied on:
****
The below command worked successfully for how to Discover Unmanaged Volumes by REST API Commands
POST /vdc/storage-systems/{id}/discover?namespace=UNMANAGED_VOLUMES

Yes, syntax you specified is correct and it worked.

Thank you, i never knew about apisvc logs. This is really helpful and makes my work much easier figuring out what calls are made.
