ARX

Introduced : ARX V5.02.000
The ARX module contains interfaces that enable you to work with ARX services.

Interfaces

Interface Description
Api The Api Interface allows applications to retrieve ARX API information.
Authentication The Authentication Interface allows applications to retrieve ARX authentication information. CLI References: NFS Access Lists, CIFS Authentication.
Channel The Channel interface allows applications to monitor the ARX channels. A channel is a group of Ethernet ports aggregated into a single flow, as specified in IEEE 802.3ad. CLI References: Layer 2, channel (cfg).
Chassis The Chassis Interface lets applications retrieve ARX system information.
DisasterRecovery The DisasterRecovery interface allows applications to monitor the ARX disaster recovery configurations between ARX clusters. CLI References: Disaster Recovery Between ARX Clusters.
Export The Export Interface allows applications to retrieve ARX export information. CLI References: Front-End Services.
FileChangeNotification The FileChangeNotification Interface lets applications monitor and manage ARX file data storage activity.
FileServer The FileServer Interface lets applications retrieve ARX file server information. CLI References: External Filer.
ManualMigrateRule The Manual Migrate Rule Interface lets applications migrate files within a volume.
Namespace The Namespace Interface lets applications retrieve ARX namespace information. CLI References: Namespace, Place Rules.
Network The Network interface lets applications retrieve ARX network interface information.
Policy The Policy Interface allows applications to retrieve ARX policy information.
Report The Report interface allows applications to view the ARX reports. CLI References: show reports.
Schedule The Schedule interface allows applications to monitor and manage ARX schedules. CLI References: Schedules.
Share The Share Interface lets applications retrieve ARX share information. CLI References: Volume.
VirtualService The VirtualService Interface lets applications retrieve ARX virtual service information. CLI References: Global Server, Front-End Services.
Vlan The Vlan interface allows applications to monitor the ARX VLANs. A Virtual Bridged Local Area Network (VLAN) is a group of physically-separated MAC addresses that appear as a single LAN segment. CLI References: Layer 2, vlan (cfg).
Volume The Volume Interface lets applications retrieve ARX volume information. CLI References: Volume.
