Library Information

This page provides details about the libraries of the NetApp Manageability SDK for application integration in C and C++, Perl, Java, C#, VB.NET, PowerShell, Python, and Ruby.

Libraries for C and C++

The NetApp Manageability SDK provides both static libraries and dynamic libraries for application integration.

The following libraries should be linked to the applications that use the static libraries of the SDK:

Platform

Interfaces

Windows

libnetapp.lib

libadt.lib

libxml.lib

ws2_32.lib

Different versions of these libraries for debug applications, multithreaded applications, multithreaded debug applications, and 64 bit platforms are also available in the SDK.

For debug versions of your code, use the versions with "d" appended to the file name—for example, libadtd.lib.

For multithreaded applications, use the versions with "md" appended to the file name—for example, libadtd_md.lib.

For multithreaded applications in debug mode, use the versions with "mdd" appended to the file name—for example, libadtd_mdd.lib.

The libraries for the 64 bit platform are at lib\nt\x64 and lib\nt\ia64.

Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, or VMware ESX

libnetappmgmt.so

You can either use libnetappmgmt.so or use libnetapp.so, libadt.so, and libxml.so together.

The paths for different libraries are as follows:

  • Linux 32 bit libraries are at lib\linux.

  • Linux 64 bit libraries are at lib\linux-64.

HP-UX PA-RISC 32-bit

libnetapp.sl

libadt.sl

libxml.sl

HP-UX 64-bit IA64

libnetapp.so

libadt.so

libxml.so

AIX

libnetapp.so

libadt.so

libxml.so

 

libnetappmgmt.so

You can either use libnetappmgmt.so or use libnetapp.so, libadt.so, and libxml.so together.

The paths for different for 32 bit and 64 bit libraries are as follows:

  • AIX 32 bit libraries are at lib\aix.

  • AIX 64 bit libraries are at lib\aix-64.

VMware ESX server and VMware ESXi server

libnetapp.so

libadt.so

libxml.so

These libraries are at lib\linux.

 

The following environment variables are required to include the SDK libraries:

Interfaces

Description

libcrypto

libssl

These libraries are required when using HTTPS transport in your application on a UNIX-like platform.

On Solaris, Linux, VMware ESX server, VMware ESXi server, and HP-UX 64-bit IA64, you must create a softlink to libraries libcrypto and libssl as follows:

ln -s libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.0.9.8

ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.0.9.8

 

For HP-UX PA-RISC 32-bit:

ln -s libcrypto.sl libcrypto.sl.0.9.8

ln -s libssl.sl libssl.sl.0.9.8

On the Linux platform, if you use libnetappmgmt.so, you do not have to use libcrypto and libssl.

libeay32.dll

ssleay32.dll

These libraries are required when using HTTPS transport in your application on the Windows platform.

ntapadmin.dll

This library is required for using remote procedure call transport in your application on the Windows platform.
