ONTAP REST API Causing EMC VPLEX Integration Issues
Applies to
- NetApp ONTAP 9.15.1P3 and later
- NetApp AFF-A800 systems
- ONTAP REST API
- EMC VPLEX integration with NetApp SCSI targets
Issue
When integrating NetApp AFF-A800 storage with EMC VPLEX, the VPLEX management interface detects the NetApp SCSI target’s “product_id” property as “LUNC-Mode” (with a space between “LUN” and “C-Mode”). This extra space causes recognition or integration issues in the VPLEX interface.
Log Output Example:
"target": { "product_id": "LUNC-Mode", "vendor_id": "NETAPP"}
Attempts to modify this field via REST API or CLI confirm that the field is hardcoded and not user-configurable.
