PowerStore: Verwendung der PowerStore REST API

Mehrere Tools können zum Testen verwendet werden REST APIs, einschließlich Postman, HTTPieund cURL. In diesem Artikel: cURL wird für alle Beispiele verwendet, da es standardmäßig auf den meisten Betriebssystemen verfügbar ist.

Gängige REST API-Nutzung:

• Node-Integrität

curl -H "Accept: application/json"  -u "admin:********" -X GET -k https://xx.xx.xx.xx/api/rest/hardware?select=id,name,type,lifecycle_state?type=eq.Node

Ausgabebeispiel:

{"id":"00b941ceea9243f0a36e85abe9504214","name":"BaseEnclosure-NodeB","type":"Node","lifecycle_state":"Healthy"}, 
{"id":"2877d096fd2a4cc4b3b8af97f21c1c24","name":"BaseEnclosure-NodeA","type":"Node","lifecycle_state":"Healthy"}

• Replikationsstatus 

curl -H "Accept: application/json"  -u "admin:********" -X GET -k https://xx.xx.xx.xx/api/rest/replication_session?select=id,role,state,last_sync_timestamp,local_resource_id

Ausgabebeispiel:

{"id":"047e38ee-9aeb-4761-8ca5-393204fe6584","role":"Metro_Preferred","state":"OK","last_sync_timestamp":"2026-07-16T15:48:05.628263+00:00","local_resource_id":"d34bd80e-1d43-4692-ab37-e307bc92eb73"}, 
{"id":"26dd4105-a24f-4d82-b40b-20dcefbfe5df","role":"Source","state":"OK","last_sync_timestamp":"2026-07-16T15:31:54.64127+00:00","local_resource_id":"82c40277-dee4-46de-8559-920fe5f942cc"}, 
{"id":"414dba20-08b1-4d5e-a521-517a3b37473a","role":"Metro_Preferred","state":"OK","last_sync_timestamp":"2026-07-16T15:51:05.525764+00:00","local_resource_id":"eb970724-cc3e-4661-8d71-bec7f44baf10"}

• Systemmeldungen

curl -H "Accept: application/json"  -u "admin:********" -X GET -k https://xx.xx.xx.xx/api/rest/alert?select=id,event_code,severity,resource_type,generated_timestamp,state,description_l10n

Ausgabebeispiel:

{"id":"008abb47-e72d-4608-b915-b8c01328b64e","event_code":"0x01700304","severity":"Major","resource_type":"remote_system","generated_timestamp":"2026-05-11T01:51:01.280627+00:00","state":"ACTIVE","description_l10n":"All data connections from the remote system Ghost are disconnected."},
