#AIQUM and getting off ONTAPI

AIQUM 9.14 has been running happily for months. My FAS was 9.13, finally took it up to 9.14.1P9 today.
AIQUM's release notes https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2886866 says "Unified Manager will use ONTAP REST APIs, if clusters run ONTAP 9.14.1 version or later."
Well.. I disabled ontapi (security login delete -vserver THECLUSTER -user-or-group-name AIQUMUSER -application ontapi -authentication-method password) and alarms started popping off, turned it back on. The counters (security session request-statistics show-by-location -interface ontapi) are still rolling.
What am I missing here on pivoting to no-more-zapi's?

Zapi will continue to be supported for quite some time.

We would need to check that use of the Cloud Agent is enabled in Unified Manager and the cluster within UM has been configured to do so.

https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/active-iq-unified-manager/install-windows/reference_protocol_and_port_requirements.html#connections-from-the-unified-manager-server

There are a few config settings that control use of the Cloud Agent.

I would recommend opening a support case.

Protocol and port requirements

The required ports and protocols enable communication between the Unified Manager server and the managed storage systems, servers, and other components.

Same VLAN / no interleaving firewall from UM to filer.

#

And, ZAPI may be supported for a while, but it'll end, and I'm tired of being chastised for having it... because of NTAP's own software.

For anyone who finds this later: 9.14 still requires ZAPI despite those release notes. 9.16 should get past that but that's next year. (there is no 9.15, ugh)

I'm working to get the release notes updated. You cannot add a cluster in 9.14 without Ontapi enabled and the monitoring account initially having the ontapi application assigned to it. If you add a cluster running Ontap 9.14 it should make use of the Cloud Agent(REST) but the initial checks will be via Ontapi. If the cluster was previously added to UM when it was running a pre-9.14 release it will continue to use Ontapi even after the cluster is upgraded.

9.16RC1 should be available before the end of the year.
