Manage myStorNext Uploads from Your API Gateway

Use the following commands if you need to create a license report to manually upload to myStorNext, display or add myStorNext login credentials, or display and set the time of daily license report uploads to myStorNext from your API gateway.

Use the apigw mystornext command to perform the following:

Note: For a list of all the API gateway commands, see API Gateway (APIGW) Command Index.

  1. Open an SSH connection to the API gateway and log in.
  2. At the prompt, enter the following:

    3. /opt/quantum/api-gateway/bin/apigw mystornext license

  3. Below is an example of the output:

    4. This may take a few minutes
License report in /tmp/quantum/api-gw/license/mystornext-license-20200625160141.json

  4. If you need to manually upload your license report file on myStorNext, you can export the license report file to a local destination and then upload your license report file on myStorNext (https://mystornext.quantum.com).

    2. Click Upload License Report. The Upload License Report dialog appears.

    3. Click Select File or Browse, and then navigate to the local destination where you exported the license report file to.

      Note: The license file must be in plain text format and contain a JSON string.

    4. Click Upload to proceed with the operation or click Cancel to abort the operation and return to the previous page.
    5. If the upload is successful, the Successfully uploaded indicator appears at the top of the page.

Note: By default, a license report file is deleted after seven days, unless you change the expiration (see Configure the License Report Schedule for myStorNext on Your API Gateway).

  1. Open an SSH connection to the API gateway and log in.
  2. At the prompt, enter the following:

    3. /opt/quantum/api-gateway/bin/apigw mystornext account

  3. Below is an example of the output:
    4. username: john.doe@domain.com

    Option Description.

    -u, or --username

    This option allows you to specify the account username for myStorNext.

    Example

    /opt/quantum/api-gateway/bin/apigw mystornext account -u john.doe@domain.com

  1. Open an SSH connection to the API gateway and log in.
  2. At the prompt, enter the following:

    3. /opt/quantum/api-gateway/bin/apigw mystornext schedule

  3. Below is an example of the output:

    4. mystornext_license_upload_hour=18

    mystornext_license_upload_minute=53

    license_purge_expiration_in_days=7

  1. Open an SSH connection to the API gateway and log in.
  2. At the prompt, enter the following:

    3. /opt/quantum/api-gateway/bin/apigw mystornext schedule OPTIONS

    Below are the available options for the mystornext schedule command.

    Option Description.

    -H, or --hour

    This option allows you to specify the hour of day (UTC timezone) to upload the license report file to myStorNext.

    This option allows you to specify the minute of hour to upload the license report file to myStorNext.

    -r, or --random

    This option allows you to configure the schedule at a randomly determined time of day to upload the license report file to myStorNext.

    -p, or --purge

    This option allows you to configure the number of days an old license report file (see Create a License Report for myStorNext on Your API Gateway) must be before it is removed from the directory /tmp/quantum/api-gw/license on this host.

    Example

    /opt/quantum/api-gateway/bin/apigw mystornext schedule -H 23 -M 45 -p 30
