Is there a mapping table between PowerMax CLI and PowerMax RestAPI?

Question

I need to convert the CLI to PowerMax RestAPI for easier management via Ansible. I saw many command like symsg, symdev, both seems can work for Storage Group setting. On PowerMax RestAPI, there are also different REST that can create Storage Group, like Provisioning, SLO Provisioning. Is there any reference document talking about , say if I am using symsg, then I should use REST under Provisioning? I am trying to convert the command  symdev -sid 003 -sg CLUSTER_INSTANCE_BK_AEOD_SG create -tdev -bcv -cap 6554 -captype cyl -nop Should I use /92/provisioning/symmetrix/{symmetrixId}/storagegroup ?

Hi,

I was not able to find anything that had a command list of the comparable commands, this has the most information that I was able to find. https://dell.to/37qaRAh

Hello Dell-Josh Cr

...I need to set a Powermax volume to ready state (symdev -sid ... ready ) with REST but I did not find any URI which is working on that. May I ask you to help? Thanks in advance.

I tried to find the URI in SLOprovisioning-context and saw a PUT for modifying a volume. But it seems that a volume-state can not be changed with that.
