How to download VNX Unisphere rest api
Hi Team,
I am able to download unisphere rest api for vmax by typing https:// :8443/univmax/restapi which gave me xsd files.
I am expecting similar kind of files for VNX (NAS and SAN).
I tried several ways but not able to know the exact url to download the required xsd files.
Any help is appreciated.

I don't think Unisphere API supports VNX - but, please wait for experts to confirm or comment.
But here are couple of options i can think of for you:
1. You can use https://support.emc.com/search/?text=esi and use 'ESI Service' which basically exposes REST API - but note that these are only for discovering. But note that there is no documentation as the intention is to support SCOM, rather than exposing API for discovering health of an array. Having said that, you can simply use ESI Service PS Toolkit, intercept the message and see the messages in tools like Fiddler to prepare your message.
2. using ViPR: note that ESI Service only gives discovery API for health. Whereas ViPR provides APIs for provisioning, performance, replication etc. (Getting Started with ViPR Services) - as you can see its very rich and have good documentation as well. But its not free, which is probably rightly so as it does lot of stuff and takes care of High availability, scalability etc.
HTH.
Regards.

I 'm thinking ViPR is open source. Is that right. Do we need to have any account to make sure we can access all API resources for it? Help me knowing this.
