Description of problem: NetApp ONTAP storage systems are integrated into OpenStack Cinder with the help of XML-based "ONTAPI"s called ZAPIs. In the 9.6 release of ONTAP, NetApp added a RESTful API that is meant to replace these ZAPIs. [1] Starting with ONTAP 9.7, new features and enhancements are available only through the ONTAP REST API for automation. ZAPIs are also deprecated and are slated for end-of-support and eventual removal from the product. Per [2], ZAPI will reach end of availability (EOA) in January 2023. (CPC-00410: EOA- ONTAPI [3]). ONTAP release in FY22-Q4 (expected to be ONTAP 9.12.1), will be the final ONTAP version to include ONTAPI. So, The NetApp cinder driver needs to add support to REST APIs in place of all the ZAPIs it is using. The upstream community is supportive of backporting this to Zed as long as it doesn't introduce any backwards incompatible change - i.e., ZAPIs must not be removed prematurely from code as deployers may continue to use older/supported versions of ONTAP storage with RHOSP. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 17.1 & 18 (if not backported to upstream Zed) How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: [1] https://www.netapp.com/blog/restful-apis-now-natively-available-with-netapp-ontap-9-6-software/ [2] https://www.netapp.com/blog/transform-automation-ontap-rest-api/ [3] https://mysupport.netapp.com/info/communications/ECMLP2880232.html - Requires NetApp login
Patches landed in Zed, so will be present for OSP 18. Will have to be backported to downstream 17.1.
Removing target milestone. Netapp plans have changed and this RFE is not required for 17.1GA anymore. They are extending the ZAPI support and we are dependent on them to do the backports.

Gregory, do you have links at hand for any public facing communication from NetApp on this topic, or did this come internally from the partner manager? I'm asking so that I can share more information with the customer. Thanks, Eric
I talked to their PM and there is also a communication available through their support portal. I'll share the doc with you
Removing PM ack. At the moment netapp does not plan to support this feature in wallaby (17.x) and do any backport. We're planning to build an OSP/ONTAP versions compatibility matrix.
Based on the last comment, removing the 17.1+ flag
