Use the installation media to install the REST API.
Note:

During the REST API installation, do not set the noexec option that restricts running programs in the /tmp and /var/tmp directories.

You can check whether the noexec option is set by running the mount command.

After the REST API installation finishes, setting the option to restrict running programs in those directories will not affect REST API operations.

  • You must log in to the management server as the root user.

  • The COLUMNS environment variable must not be set.

    If you perform an upgrade or overwrite installation while the COLUMNS environment variable is set, the installation might not end normally.

  • Stop any programs that are using the CCI that was provided with the REST API.

    If CCI files are used in an environment where the CCI provided with the REST API is installed, you cannot perform an upgrade or overwrite installation of the REST API.

  1. Download or insert the installation media.
    If the media is not mounted automatically, mount the media manually.
    Tip:

    These characters can be used in the mount path of a DVD-ROM: A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, underscores (_), forward slashes (/).

  2. Go to the directory containing the installer (install.sh).

    For DVD media, the installer is stored in the following location:

    DVD-ROM-mount-directory/Linux

  3. Run the following command: 
    # ./install.sh
  4. When prompted, specify the required information.

    When the installation finishes, the following message is displayed:

    Configuration Manager REST API installation completed successfully.
  5. (When upgrading) Check the refresh status of the storage system configuration information.
    1. Run the API request that gets the refresh status of the storage system configuration information, and then check the value of the status attribute that is returned.
    2. If the REST API database was expanded as a result of an upgrade installation, Failed is displayed as the value of the status attribute. In this case, check the error information, and then run the API request that refreshes the storage system configuration information.
  6. (When upgrading from version 8.4.1 or earlier) If the following storage systems are managed, run the API request that registers the destinations for sending notifications about changes made to storage system configurations.
