How to attach and detach Portable storage disk in virtual server?

I want to attach and detach portable storage from Virtual server using Rest API. I didn't find any API references related to attach and detach from portable storage.

Solution

  • Try to use the following examples:

    Attach Portable storage

    Method POST

    https://username:apiKey@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/[#Virtual_GuestID]/attachDiskImage

    Body

     {
"parameters":[ 
         [#Image_Id]
]}

    Detach Portable storage

    Method POST

    https://username:apiKey@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/[#Virtual_GuestID]/detachDiskImage

    Body

     {
"parameters":[ 
         [#Image_Id]
]}

    Note: Keep in mind that you have to change the [#Virtual_GuestId] and [#Image_Id] according to the selected datacenter.
