ONTAP SDK access?

Hello all, I'm trying to figure out how to gain access to the ONTAP
Developer SDK software. The ONTAP 7.3 sysadmin guide mentions the
Network Appliance Advantage Developer Program, but the URL[1] there no
longer works.

And, in our case, although we have several FAS units, in this
particular case we'd be working with an IBM n3600. Can we access these
same SDK's through the IBM channel? Yes, we're starting to look into
that but I'm hoping someone out there has been through this adventure
before and can advise. :)

Basically, our end goal is to be able to automate the creation and
management of flexclone volumes. I'm sure we could script up a screen
scraper type interfae, but these API's sound perfect. Just need to
figure out how to use them and how to get access to documentation.

Thanks for any pointers!

Hi Ray
Here ya go!
http://communities.netapp.com/docs/DOC-1110

I would expect the N series to work exactly the same, although I've
never tried it.

Share and enjoy!

Peter
