During an Insight Pavilion Theater presentation, Ezra Tingler, IT Senior Storage Engineer, provided an explanation of using ONTAP APIs, like the NetApp Manageability (NM) Software Development Kit (SDK), to do more than configuration tasks. NetApp IT automates storage administration by writing scripts that are kicked off by monitoring tools to resolve issues without bothering Level 1 and 2 support. Using NM SDK, NetApp IT can install and configure 24 nodes in two hours, enforce 100% consistent configurations across the ONTAP environment, and address aggregate nearly full alerts and volume auto-size issues within minutes.
