# Module `netapp_ontap.resources.fc_login`

Copyright © 2021 NetApp Inc. All rights reserved.

## Overview

Fibre Channel (FC) logins represent connections formed by FC initiators that have successfully logged in to ONTAP. This represents the FC login on which higher-level protocols such as Fibre Channel Protocol and NVMe over FC (NVMe/FC) rely.
The Fibre Channel logins REST API provides information about active FC logins.

## Examples

### Retrieving all FC logins

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import FcLogin

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        print(list(FcLogin.get_collection()))

### Retrieving all FC logins for initiators belonging to igroup1 and returning all of their properties

## Classes

`class FcLogin (*args, **kwargs)`

  A Fibre Channel (FC) login represents a connection formed by an FC initiator that has successfully logged in to ONTAP. This represents the FC login on which higher-level protocols such as Fibre Channel Protocol and NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC) rely.

  Initialize the instance of the resource.

  Any keyword arguments are set on the instance as properties. For example, if the class was named 'MyResource', then this statement would be true:

      MyResource(name='foo').name == 'foo'

  ## Args

  `*args`
    Each positional argument represents a parent key as used in the URL of the object. That is, each value will be used to fill in a segment of the URL which refers to some parent object. The order of these arguments must match the order they are specified in the URL, from left to right.
  `**kwargs`
    each entry will have its key set as an attribute name on the instance and its value will be the value of that attribute.

  ### Ancestors

  - Resource

  ### Static methods

  `def count_collection(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> int`

    Retrieves FC logins.

    ### Related ONTAP commands

    - `vserver fcp initiator show`

    ### Learn more

    - SAN: `DOC /network/fc/logins`
    - NVMe: `DOC /network/fc/logins`

    Fetch a count of all objects of this type from the host.

    This calls GET on the object to determine the number of records. It is more efficient than calling get_collection() because it will not construct any objects. Query parameters can be passed in as kwargs to determine a count of objects that match some filtered criteria.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the count of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. These query parameters can affect the count. A return_records query param will be ignored.

    ## Returns

    On success, returns an integer count of the objects of this type. On failure, returns -1.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned a status code >= 400, or if there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library.

  `def find(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> Resource`

    Retrieves FC logins.

    ### Related ONTAP commands

    - `vserver fcp initiator show`

    ### Learn more

    - SAN: `DOC /network/fc/logins`
    - NVMe: `DOC /network/fc/logins`

    Find an instance of an object on the host given a query.

    The host will be queried with the provided key/value pairs to find a matching resource. If 0 are found, None will be returned. If more than 1 is found, an error will be raised or returned. If there is exactly 1 matching record, then it will be returned.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to find a bar for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

    ## Returns

    A `Resource` object containing the details of the object or None if no matches were found.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned more than 1 matching resource.

  `def get_collection(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, max_records: int = None, **kwargs) -> typing.Iterable`

    Retrieves FC logins.

    ### Related ONTAP commands

    - `vserver fcp initiator show`

    ### Learn more

    - SAN: `DOC /network/fc/logins`
    - NVMe: `DOC /network/fc/logins`

    Fetch a list of all objects of this type from the host.

    This is a lazy fetch, making API calls only as necessary when the result of this call is iterated over. For instance, if max_records is set to 5, then iterating over the collection causes an API call to be sent to the server once for every 5 records. If the client stops iterating before getting to the 6th record, then no additional API calls are made.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `max_records`
      The maximum number of records to return per call
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

    ## Returns

    A list of `Resource` objects

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library. This would be not be raised when get_collection() is called, but rather when the result is iterated.

  ### Methods

  `def get(self, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse`

    Retrieves an FC login.
