Create and Deploy a Virtual Appliance
...
Create a Virtual Appliance
It's easy to create a virtual appliance. You can create one just by providing a virtual appliance with a name and some basic details, and the link to the virtual datacenter where you will create it.
cURL:
Success status code: 201
Request payload:
Response payload:
 
Use a VM template to create a VM
You will need the link to a virtual appliance, a template in the Apps library, and an enterprise. See the previous Tenants tutorial for how to retrieve compatible templates from the Apps library.
cURL:
Success status code: 201
Request payload:
The link to specify the template is the only required value. In this case, we are also setting the friendly name of the VM and enabling remote access.
 
Response payload:
Deploy the VM
We are going to deploy the virtual machine on its own. It is also possible to deploy a whole virtual appliance at the same time.
cURL:
Success status code: 202
Request payload:
--none--
Response payload:
 
The VM will be powered on. Congratulations, you've completed the tutorial!

    2. You will need the virtualmachines link to create a VM
       Code Block

        },      

  2. Get a compatible template from the Apps library
    1. Reference: https://wiki.abiquo.com/api/latest/VirtualMachineTemplatesResource.html#list-virtual-machine-templates-in-a-datacenter-repository
    2. Perform a GET request to the URL from the datacenterrepository link of the location. Get the virtualmachinetemplates link from the datacenterrepository.
    3. Get the VM templates using parameters including:
      1. hypervisorTypeName - for compatibility
      2. limit - for convenience
      3. has - filter template names by this text string
      See the above API Reference page for more details.
    4. cURL
       Code Block
      curl --verbose -X GET "https://nardo40.bcn.abiquo.com/api/admin/enterprises/15/datacenterrepositories/1/virtualmachinetemplates?hypervisorTypeName=VMX_04&limit=1&has=Core" \

    6. Select the virtualmachinetemplate object you want to use and get the edit link
       Code Block
                      {
                    "title": "Core",

                },

    7. Troubleshooting: if the request doesn't return any templates, you may need to refresh the datacenter repository. Reference: 

  3. Create a VM entity
    1. The link to specify the template is the only required attribute. In this case, we are also setting the friendly name of the VM and enabling remote access.
       Code Block
      {  
   "label":"Core_VM",
   "links":[  
      {  
         "title":"Core",
         "rel":"virtualmachinetemplate",
         "type":"application/vnd.abiquo.virtualmachinetemplate+json",
         "href":"https://nardo40.bcn.abiquo.com:443/api/admin/enterprises/15/datacenterrepositories/1/virtualmachinetemplates/3"
      }
   ],
   "vdrpEnabled":true
}

  4. Create a VM
    1. Perform a POST request to the URL of the virtualmachines link from the virtual appliance
    2. cURL
       Code Block
      curl -X POST https://abiquoapi.bcn.abiquo.com:443/api/cloud/virtualdatacenters/2075/virtualappliances/2596/virtualmachines \ 
	 -H 'Accept:application/vnd.abiquo.virtualmachine+json; version=4.7' \ 
	 -H 'Content-Type:application/vnd.abiquo.virtualmachine+json; version=4.7' \ 
	 -d @virtualmachineentity.json \ 
	 -u user:password --verbose 

    3. The virtualmachineentity.json file to send with this request is shown in the previous step.

    5. You will need the deploy link to launch the VM
       Code Block
              {
            "title": "virtual machine deploy",
            "rel": "deploy",
            "type": "application/vnd.abiquo.acceptedrequest+json",
            "href": "https://abiquoapi.bcn.abiquo.com:443/api/cloud/virtualdatacenters/2075/virtualappliances/2596/virtualmachines/16644/action/deploy"
        },

  5. Deploy the VM
    1. Reference: https://wiki.abiquo.com/api/latest/VirtualMachinesResource.html#deploy-a-virtual-machine
    2. cURL
       Code Block
      curl -X POST https://nardo40.bcn.abiquo.com:443/api/cloud/virtualdatacenters/2075/virtualappliances/2596/virtualmachines/16644/action/deploy \ 
	 -H 'Accept:application/vnd.abiquo.acceptedrequest+json;version=4.7' \ 
	 -u user:password --verbose 

    3. Sample response. Success status code: 202
      This request returns an acceptedrequest object with a link to track the progress of the deploy.
       Expand

       Code Block
      {
    "message": "You can keep track of the progress in the link",
    "links": [
        {
            "title": "status",
            "rel": "status",
            "type": "application/vnd.abiquo.task+json",
            "href": "https://nardo40.bcn.abiquo.com:443/api/cloud/virtualdatacenters/2075/virtualappliances/2596/virtualmachines/16644/tasks/d49aedbe-cc20-4410-9e74-2de1243342aa"
        }
    ]
}


    4. Alternatively, you can deploy all the VMs in the virtual appliance using the deploy link from the virtual appliance.
Your VM should now be deployed and powered on. Congratulations! You have completed this tutorial.
