This is on OnTap 9.15.1P1.
Any plans for this to be supported in future releases before ZAPI is deprecated?

it's already there, in /api/private/cli/volume/rehost. This is even the example they used in the documentation 🙂
I guess it will be public before 9.19.1 hits, which is still 2 years away

I'm confused. If I try to do a rehost using the na_ontap_volume Ansible module (by specifying "vserver" and "from_vserver"), it gives me the error that REST API does not support rehosting volumes, unless I specify "use_rest: never", at which point it falls back to ZAPI and gripes about it.

If the API is there, then why doesn't the module support it? Do I need an updated version of the collection maybe? I'm running 22.12.0, which I thought was pretty current (4 months old).

probably because it's a private API and the ONTAPI variant is public and still available, so they prefer the public one. But that's just my guess...

#

and yeah, regularly updating the libraries is generally a good idea during the transition from ONTAPI to REST, as there'll be changes in every version

#

(no idea if there's anything newer than 22.12.0 though)
