REST API for SyncIQ - Failover/Failback

Question

Hi,

We have requirement from customer to develop script to trigger failover/failback of SyncIQ policies in Isilon using REST API. I was reading the REST API 8.2.2 guide and could not see any API call to enable writes on target policy and resync-prep on the source cluster SyncIQ policy.

Can I confirm if these operations are not supported by REST API ?

Thanks.

You can allow writes and run resync-prep using the API with the /platform/7/sync/jobs URI. You can check out the help for this URI at /platform/7/sync/jobs?describe.

Allow writes:

POST /platform/7/sync/jobs

BODY:
{
    'id': ,
    'action: 'allow_write'
}

Resync Prep:

POST /platform/7/sync/jobs

BODY:
{
    'id': ,
    'action: 'resync_prep'
}
