Private-CLI mapping for "vserver services name-service getxxbyyy getgrbyname" command | NetApp | Page 1

While provisioning a volume via CLI, it accepts unix-group name but in volume create REST API endpoint, unix-group ID is accepted. Due to this, we need a way to retrieve group-id of the given unix group name. For this, "vserver services name-service getxxbyyy getgrbyname" command can be leveraged.

I am trying to convert this command to equivalent private-cli endpoint and below is the API endpoint that i have tested.

GET https://CLUSTER/api/private/cli/vserver/services/name-service/getxxbyyy/getgrbyname?node=NODE-NAME&vserver=VSERVER-NAME&groupname=GRP-NAME&privilege_level=diagnostic

This API endpoint throws below error

{
"error": {
"message": "invalid operation",
"code": "3"
}
}

Can someone help get the right private-cli endpoint for me?

Thanks in advance

u need to do a POST not get

curl --location 'https://x.x.x.x/api/private/cli/vserver/services/name-service/getxxbyyy/gethostbyname' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Basic =' --data '{ "node":"node1", "vserver":"svm1", "hostname":"DC1"}'

@idle charm : thank you🙏 , above command has worked. For private-cli, for some command GET operation is allowed and for some POST operation. Is there a way to determine what is the right METHOD and payload to use?

According to the documentation GET maps to the "show" command in CLI, POST to "create" and PATCH to "modify". I agree it is not well documented how the special advanced/diag commands are handled.
