API Reference


Update Network Endpoints

PUT /vdc/networks/{id}/endpoints
This call has been deprecated and will be removed in future versions

Add or remove end-point(s) to network.

For fiber channel, some Networks may be automatically created by discovering Network Systems. These Networks will have endpoints that were discovered by a Network System, including endpoints that represent host initiator port WWNs as well as end points that represent storage array port WWNs.

Discovered endpoints may not be deleted by the user. They will be updated periodically as the Network System refreshes its information on the topology of the VSANs or Fabrics.

The user may still manually add endpoints to a discovered Network. The user is able to delete endpoints that were manually added. If a manually entered endpoint is subsequently discovered by a a Network System, it becomes managed as if it were discovered originally, and then may no longer be deleted.

This API is maintained for backward compatibility. Since the method is deprecated use /vdc/networks/{id} instead.
