Using Veritas System Recovery RESTful Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
Veritas System Recovery 21 now supports a set of functions that can be hosted as RESTful APIs. The API Client uses the HTTP(S) protocol to make an API request to the Veritas System Recovery Server. The server processes the request and sends a response to the client with an appropriate HTTP status code indicating success or failure.
The REST API calls from a remote machine only work with a valid CA Authorized certificate. To validate and bind a valid CA certificate, Veritas System Recovery provides the
InstallWebAPI.exe utility.
To use the Veritas System Recovery RESTful Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
-
On a machine with Veritas System Recovery installed, open the InstallWebAPI Utility using the command prompt in the administrator mode.
The InstallWebAPI Utility is located at the following path:
<Veritas System Recovery installation folder>/Agent/
The utility displays the following:
-
Bind Certificate-View Certificate-Unbind Certificate
-
Bind the certificate and after it is successful the Veritas WebAPI Services start and you can make the REST API calls using a program or interface of your choice from any remote machine.
