API Access to setting up Endurance Storage/iSCSI snapshots and schedules?

Is there a way through either the IBM Cloud API, or the Softlayer API, to programmatically run/schedule/setup snapshots on an endurance storage device? aka iSCSI drive.

I've looked through the documentation, but have not found anything.

Solution

  • you need to take a look at these methods:

    https://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/softlayer_network_storage/createsnapshot

    the method above will allow you to create a new manual snapshot

    https://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/softlayer_network_storage/enablesnapshots

    the method above will allow you to schedule the snapshots

    see bellow some examples of code:
