Description

The team responsible for the Arctera/Veritas SORT site (https://sort.veritas.com/kernel) have been working on an API (for RedHat releases only, at present), which allows customers to reference information related to Infoscale kernel-related compatibility without having to resort to the SORT site via a browser.

The API can be called using a construct like below:

# curl -X POST -k 'https://sort.veritas.com/kernel/by_platform' -H 'X-VTAS-SORT-KER-Token:xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d '{"platver":"rhel7"}'

In the above command, a token is needed from Arctera/Veritas. The "platver" denotes the RedHat major version that this will report data on.

Sample output is below. The output is in JSON format and provides information related to RedHat 7 and Infoscale, e.g. below, the extract of the output shows RedHat 7.9 is qualified with Infoscale 7.4.2 and kernel 3.10.0-1160.21.1. Additional Infoscale patches will also be listed.

If such API functionality is required, please open a case with Arctera Technical Support and reference this article, citing the need for a token.
