Name or identifier of the Dataset for the backup Version.
IsAddingMembers xsd:boolean
optional
If this input is true, Protection Manager expects more Members To be added To the VersionMembers element of this backup. The job that is transferring this backup, periodically checks To see if the new Members have been added and starts transferring them. The transfer job does not exit until this input is set To false by calling DpBackupVersionModify API (or until the Timeout occurs).

If this input is false, the job exits after transferring any Members that it could find in this backup. Any new Members that got added To the backup will be transferred by the next job.

This input can be used when creating a local backup potentially takes a very long time and you want the Protection Manager To start the transfers without waiting for the local backup To complete.

The default Value is false.

IsComplete xsd:boolean
optional
Indicates whether or not this backup Version is a consistent backup of the Dataset. The default Value is true.
IsForPropagation xsd:boolean
optional
Indicates whether or not this backup Version should be propagated according To the data protection Policy. If false, the backup Version will not be propagated To other nodes. Once a backup Version is created, this property can not be modified. Default Value is true.
IsNative xsd:boolean

Default Value is true.

When Dataset has failed over To the DR secondary node, local Backups are created on the DR secondary node. But these Backups are retained using Retention settings on the DR primary node. Server uses IsNative in conjunction with RetentionType To determine which Retention settings To use.

Examples:

  • If IsNative is true and RetentionType is hourly, HourlyRetentionDuration and HourlyRetentionCount on the same node, where the backup exists, are used.
  • If IsNative is false and RetentionType is daily, DailyRetentionCount and DailyRetentionDuration on the DR primary node are used.

Error conditions:
  • EBACKUPDOESNOTEXIST - The backup Version was not found.
  • EBACKUPBUSY - The backup Version is busy. This can happen if one of the Snapshots in the backup is needed for future transfers or if transfer From the backup is in progress.
  • EINVALIDINPUT - Not enough inputs To determine Version properly. This can happen if less than three of Dataset, BackupVersion, and NodeName are used in the case where BackupId is not supplied.
  • EACCESSDENIED - Access was denied on the requested backup Version.
  • EINTERNALERROR - An Error occurred while processing the Request. Try again later.
  • EOBJECTNOTFOUND - Dataset not found.
Name Type Description
AllowDeferredDelete xsd:boolean
optional
If this input is true and if the backup cannot be deleted immediately, it will be marked for deletion at a later time and this API will return success. The backup will be deleted when the conditions that were preventing the backup From deletion no longer exist. For example, if the backup contains Snapshot copies needed by SnapVault or SnapMirror for future transfers, the backup will be deleted when those Snapshot copies are no longer needed.

The Backups which are marked for deletion will not be returned via any of the backup listing APIs.

If this input is false and if the backup cannot be deleted immediately, an Error will be returned.

Default is false.

BackupId xsd:integer
optional
Identifier of the backup Instance To be deleted. Range: [1..2^31-1] This input is required unless both DatasetNameOrId and BackupVersion inputs are supplied.
BackupVersion DpTimestamp
optional
Timestamp when the backup was taken. This input is required if BackupId is not present. This input should be omitted and is ignored if BackupId is present.
DatasetNameOrId ObjNameOrId
optional
Name or identifier of the Dataset for the backup Version To be deleted. This input is required if BackupId is not present. This input should be omitted and is ignored if BackupId is present.
DeleteMultipleBackups xsd:boolean
optional
This input is ignored if BackupId input is present or if all three of the DatasetNameOrId, BackupVersion and NodeName are present since in both cases a single backup is identified for deletion.

When both BackupId and NodeName are omitted and both DatasetNameOrId and BackupVersion are supplied, multiple Backups may produce a Match. In that case, this input controls whether multiple Backups that Match the specified DatasetNameOrId and BackupVersion inputs will be deleted.

If this input is true, all the matching Backups will be deleted. The new callers of this API who omit both NodeName and BackupId inputs are expected To use this Value.

If this input is false only a single backup among several matches will be deleted. API does not specify which particular backup will be picked for deletion. This behavior exists for compatibility reasons only. New callers of this API should not specify 'false' Value for this input.

Default is false.

NodeName xsd:string
optional
Name of Policy node that uniquely defines the BackupId for backup Version To be deleted. This input should be omitted and is ignored if BackupId is present.

[none]

 
Element definition: ObjId [top]
Identification number (ID) for a DFM object. This typedef is an alias for the builtin ZAPI Type integer. Object IDs are unsigned integers in the range [1..2^31 - 1]. In some contexts, an object ID is also allowed To be 0, which is interpreted as a null Value, e.g., a reference To no object at all.

The ID for a DFM object is always assigned by the system; the user is never allowed To assign an ID To an object. Therefore, an input element of Type ObjId is always used To refer To an existing object by its ID. The ZAPI must specify the object's DFM object Type (e.g. Dataset, Host, DP Policy, etc.). Some ZAPIs allow the object To be one of several different types.

If the Value of an ObjId input element does not Match the ID of any existing DFM object of the specified Type or types, then typically the ZAPI fails with Error code EOBJECTNOTFOUND. A ZAPI may deviate From this general rule, for example, it may return a more specific Error code. In either case, the ZAPI specification must document its behavior.

[none]

 
Element definition: ObjNameOrId [top]
Name or internal ID of a DFM object. This typedef is an alias for the builtin ZAPI Type string. An ObjNameOrId must contain between 1 and 64 characters, and must conform To one of the following formats:
  • It must have the format of an ObjName, or
  • It must be the decimal numeric string form of a positive integer whose Value is in the range [1..2^31 - 1].
Elements of Type ObjNameOrId are used only as inputs To ZAPIs. The Value must Match either the Name or internal ID of an existing DFM object. The ZAPI must specify the object's DFM object Type (e.g. Dataset, Host, DP Policy, etc.). Some ZAPIs allow the object To be one of several different types.

If the format of an ObjNameOrId input element does not conform, or the Value does not Match the Name or ID of an existing object, then generally the ZAPI documents that it fails with Error code EOBJECTNOTFOUND. A ZAPI may return more specific Error codes. In such cases, the ZAPI specification must document its behavior.

If a ZAPI can accept a null Value (e.g. reference To no object at all) for such an element, then the element is declared optional, and the absence of the input element represents a null Value.

If this element is true, Protection Manager expects more Members To be added To the VersionMembers element of this backup. The job that is transferring this backup, periodically checks To see if the new Members have been added and starts transferring them. The transfer job does not exit until this input is set To false by calling DpBackupVersionModify API (or until the Timeout occurs).

If this element is false, the job exits after transferring any Members that it could find in this backup. Any new Members that got added To the backup will be transferred by the next job.

This element can be used when creating a local backup potentially takes a very long time and you want the Protection Manager To start the transfers without waiting for the local backup To complete.

Element definition: ObjName [top]
Name of a DFM object. This typedef is an alias for the built in ZAPI Type string. An object Name must conform To the following format:
  • It must contain between 1 and 64 characters.
  • It may start with any character and may contain any combination of characters, except that it may not consist solely of decimal digits ('0' through '9').
  • In some contexts, a Name may be the empty string (""), which is interpreted as a null Value, e.g., a reference To no object at all.
The behavior of a ZAPI when it encounters an Error involving an ObjName input element depends on how the ZAPI uses the input element. Here are the general rules:
  • If the input Name element is used To create a new object with the given Name, or rename an existing object To that Name, and the Name does not conform To the above format, then the ZAPI fails with Error code EINVALIDINPUTERROR. Note that because EINVALIDINPUTERROR is such a common Error code, ZAPI specifications are not required To document cases when they may return it.
  • If the input Name element is used To refer To an existing object with that Name, and there is no object with that Name, then the ZAPI fails with Error code EOBJECTNOTFOUND. Generally the ZAPI specification documents cases when it may return this Error code.
A ZAPI may deviate From these general rules, for example, it may return more specific Error codes. In such cases, the ZAPI specification must document its behavior.

If an input Name element is used To refer To an existing object, then the ZAPI specification must specify which DFM object Type (e.g. data set, Host, DP Policy, etc.) is allowed. Some ZAPIs allow the object To be one of several different types. See the Description of ObjFullName for examples of valid input formats.

Note that there is no requirement that all object names must be unique. However, the names for some specific types of Objects are constrained such that no two Objects of that Type may have the same Name. For example, this constraint applies To Datasets, DP schedules, and DP policies. This means that no two Datasets may have the same Name, but a Dataset may have the same Name as a DP schedule or DP Policy.

In general, object names are compared in a case-insensitive manner. This means that, for example, "MyObject" and "MYOBJECT" are considered To be the same Name for purposes of: creating new Objects, renaming existing Objects, or looking up an object by Name. On the other hand, ZAPIs that return an ObjName generally do not change the capitalization at all. For example, if an object's Name has been set To "MyObject", then list iteration ZAPIs that return the object's Name return it as "MyObject" rather than "MYOBJECT" or "myobject".

ZAPIs that operate on ObjName Values and do not follow these general rules about case sensitivity must document the rules that they do follow.

One important exception To these general rules is that Volumes, Qtrees, OSSV Directories, SRM Paths, Interfaces, FCP Targets and FC switch ports all have case-sensitive names. When looking up Objects of these types by Name, the case must Match the object Name.

Element definition: RequiresNonDisruptiveRestore [top]
When this attribute is set, the Dataset is configured To allow LUNs To be restored From Backups in such a way that the Host need not detach From the LUN.

Configuring the Dataset for non-disruptive restore does not guarantee that all backup Instances may be restored non-disruptively. It only applies To backup Instances reached through a Backup connection. The caller must check the SupportsNonDisruptiveRestore output element returned by dp-backup-list-info-next To tell whether a given backup Instance can be restored non-disruptively.

Specifically, when this attribute is set:

  • All storage systems must be running ONTAP 7.3 or later.
  • Protection Manager must have working ZAPI credentials for all storage systems in use by this Dataset.
  • All Backup connections will be implemented using SnapVault, not Qtree SnapMirror.
  • All non-primary storage systems used by the data set must have a SnapVault Secondary License.

If any of these constraints is not met when adding a member To the Dataset, the Dataset will not be in conformance and the addition will generate conformance Errors. Addition of Members with ONTAP Version less than 7.3 To the primary node of the Dataset will fail with Errors.

requires-nondisruptive-restore may only be specified if:

  • No Backup connection in the protection Policy used by the Dataset is DR capable (i.e. the IsDrCapable attribute may not be set for any Backup connection of the Policy).
  • The Dataset must be an application Dataset.
Thus, if RequiresNonDisruptiveRestore is specified as true, IsApplicationData must also be present and true. Callers may check the non-disruptive-restore-compatible output element of the dp-policy-list-info-iter-next API To tell which policies may be applied To Datasets requiring non-disruptive restores.
