This repository contains the IBM RESTful API Python client, which establishes terminal connection with IBM DS8000 storage systems. The Python client protocol enables full management and monitoring of these storage arrays by issuing dedicated RESTful APIs.
Clone the repository, and then add it to your PYTHONPATH directory. The Python client is then ready for import and use.
Usage examples of the Python client are available in the examples.py file.
Each storage system of DS8000 and major software version has its own set of RESTful APIs. The RESTful APIs are detailed in the RESTful API reference guides that are available on IBM Knowledge Center (KC).
To display the full RESTful API Reference Guide of a specific storage system and a specific software version:
