2.6 SANtricity Management Integration
Starting with SANtricity 11.40 and continuing with SANtricity 11.50.x, the E-Series SANtricity integration
model changed focus. To support today’s modernized data center operations and partner appliances,
NetApp is de-emphasizing legacy plug-ins and emphasizing API integration.
Table 8 shows the SANtricity APIs and toolkits that can be used for scripting and custom integration into
other management tools and appliance architectures. For the web services software and documentation,
go to the NetApp Support software downloads page and select E-Series/EF-Series SANtricity
Management Plug-Ins. For the Windows PowerShell toolkit, go to the NetApp PowerShell Toolkit page of
the NetApp Support site.

2.7 SANtricity Web Services Native REST API
The SANtricity Web Services REST API is an embedded API for experienced developers. Actions
performed through the REST API are applied on execution and without user prompts or confirmation
dialog boxes. The REST API is URL based, and the accompanying API documentation is completely
interactive. Each URL contains a description of the corresponding operation and lets you perform the
action directly through the API documentation. To access the documentation, select API Documentation
in the Help drop-down menu from any page in System Manager, as shown in Figure 34.
