How to get a Cloud Instance ID in IBM Power Systems Virtual Servers

Question

I want to create a Power Systems Virtual server in IBM cloud. To create the server we need "cloud_instance_id" and "Power Systems Virtual Server instance ID" as a part of the API call.

I am unable to get the cloud_instance_id,Power Systems Virtual Server instance ID to proceed further on this. Please help me with the requested information.

The API call I have used is as in the below document. https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/power-cloud#create-a-new-power-vm-instance https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/power-cloud#authentication

Answer 1

https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/resource-controller#create-provision-a-new-resource-instance

I think you want to use this API to create the instance first.

Answer 2

am checked that link " https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/resource-controller#create-provision-a-new-resource-instance " working fine to create a service. but need to launch Power Systems Virtual Server through Rest Api

i refer this link " https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/power-cloud#create-a-new-power-vm-instance "

But responce is getting missing bearer token or crn

Rest URL GET- https://us-south.power-iaas.cloud.ibm.com/pcloud/v1/cloud-instances/f65a...ffc58/pvm-instances

Headers Authorization:Bearer eyJra... Bluemix-Instance:crn:v1:bluemix:public:power-iaas:us-east:a/516...2d:f65acd2c-7..58:: Content-Type :application/vnd.ibm.collection+json

Error

So the ibmcloud cli [plugin need installed with this one updated to latest: power-iaas 0.3.0

Then I was able to get the requested information:
