RESTful API

The RESTful API is an application on your storage system HMC for initiating simple storage operations through the Web.

The RESTful (Representational State Transfer) API is a platform-independent means by which to initiate create, read, update, and delete operations in the storage system and supporting storage devices. These operations are initiated with the HTTP commands: POST, GET, PUT, and DELETE.

The RESTful API is intended for development, testing, and debugging of the client management infrastructures in your storage system. You can use the RESTful API with a CURL command or through standard Web browsers. For instance, you can use the storage system with the RESTClient add-on.
