IBM flashsystem 900 API Problem

mgsuzen

Hello;

I am trying to make a transaction using the API document in the link below, but I am stuck at the very beginning.

(https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system/files/support/ssg/ssgdocs.nsf/0/e9fb11326bbf003685257f01006cbfc6/$FILE/RESTfulAPIv2.pdf)

The doc says that we can access the root directory without authentication to get the API version.

https://node_ip:port/

When I try to access the device as https://192.168.100.20:9443, I get the following warnings;

Bad Request - Invalid Hostname

HTTP Error 400. The request hostname is invalid.

I am working on a software that will monitor the system via APIs. Can you help?

Hi,

I am affraid you will have to ask IBM support directly.

That forum is about Xorux products only.

We do monitoring IBM FlashSystems (demo: https://demo.stor2rrd.com/?menu=861764e&tab=undefined ) but we do not use the API, we use FlashSystem CLI. Thus we are unable to help you anywhow.

It was a detail I discovered. When I send an API request to flashsystem 900 at IP address 192.168.100.20 over a different network, I get these errors. However, if I send an API request from 192.168.100.0, I get a response.

But the system I built with API progress is on a different local ip on a different VLAN inside. How can I make flashsystem 900 respond to API requests from a different local ip inside.
