Before you can run a REST API operation, you must authenticate first against a target. This is described in detail here:

VCF Automation Orchestrator 8 User Guide: Authentication

Once complete, you can run the REST API workflow against a FlashArray or Cloud Block Store platform.

To run a REST API operation, right-click on the workflow Run FlashArray REST API under the Custom REST Operations folder and click Run.

The first step is to choose a FlashArray target:

1) Click to choose a FlashArray

2) Choose a FlashArray object

3) Click REST API Request Properties

The next step is to configure the REST operation. The FlashArray REST API documentation can be found in a few places:

  1. The support site: FlashArray REST API Reference Guides
