Applies to

  • ONTAP System Manager 9.15.1 and below
  • ONTAPI

Answer

  • ONTAP System Manager still has dependencies under ONTAPI and disabling it will cause ONTAP System Manager to stop working in ONTAP 9.15.1 and below
  • This can be verified with the following command:
    cluster1::> vserver services web modify -vserver cluster1 -name ontapi -enabled false
     
    Warning: The service "ontapi" supplies features required by: "sysmgr". Disabling "ontapi" will disable all dependent services.
    Do you want to continue? {y|n}:
  • If a warning states that sysmgr requires ontapi features, System Manager will be disabled if ontapi is disabled. Choose n for no when prompted if you still require System Manager access.
  • Starting with ONTAP 9.16.1RC1, disabling ontapi will no longer disable the sysmgr service.
