Introduction

This page describes how to create a

...

virtual datacenter and deploy a VM.

...

To perform this tutorial to create a virtual datacenter, you will need a datacenter or public cloud region, and an enterprise with permission to use it. To allow an enterprise to use a datacenter or public cloud region, edit the enterprise and add it to allowed locations or create an enterprise limit in the API. If you are working with public cloud, you should also add credentials for your enterprise.

Create a Virtual Datacenter

...

Get the Location

You will create the virtual datacenter in an "allowed location", which is a datacenter or public cloud region that the enterprise is allowed to work with. Choose whether you want to retrieve public cloud regions or datacenters and use the appropriate media type.

By default, Abiquo will add the ID of the enterprise you are working with as a query parameter. If you are the cloud administrator or another user with appropriate privileges, you can retrieve the locations of another enterprise by entering another ID.

cURL:

Success status code: 200

Request payload:

--none--

Response payload:

The important parts of this location entity are the ID and the self link (shown here). Use this location link when you edit the virtual datacenter entity to create the virtual datacenter.

Create the Virtual Datacenter

Modify the virtual datacenter entity shown here to add the location ID to the locations link, the enterprise ID and the hypervisor type (for example, ESXi with vCenter is "VMX_04")

Success status code: 201

Request payload:

Response payload:

...

In the UI, by default, Abiquo will create a default virtual appliance, named with the default prefix "vapp_" and the virtual datacenter name, but when you are working with the API, no default virtual appliance is created.

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!

...

This tutorial is suitable for a test environment only and it does not use proper authentication.

You will need the following resources.

An enterprise with one or more allowed datacenters or public cloud regions
- To allow access via API, create an enterprise limit, see Create tenants via API
- Also add credentials for the enterprise in public cloud regions, see Obtain public cloud credentials and Add credentials for public cloud
Apps library with a template that is compatible with the VDC

Your user role must include the following privileges.

A user privilege, e.g. MANAGE_USERS, to retrieve enterprises
VDC_MANAGE
VDC_MANAGE_VAPP
VAPP_DEPLOY_UNDEPLOY

Detailed steps

Get the link to the enterprise

Get smaller result entity with the enterprises-id-name media type
Specify the enterprise name with the "has" parameter to filter by name text

hypervisortype link for the hypervisor you would like to use in the virtual datacenter. The code of the hypervisor type is at the end of the link, for example, for VMware vCenter, the name is "VMX_04".

Select the virtualmachinetemplate object you want to use and get the edit link

                },

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

Create a VM entity

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://abiquoapi.bcn.abiquo.com:443/api/admin/enterprises/15/datacenterrepositories/1/virtualmachinetemplates/3"
      }
   ],
   "vdrpEnabled":true
}

Create a VM

Perform a POST request to the URL of the virtualmachines link from the virtual appliance

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

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

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"
        },

Deploy the VM

Reference: https://wiki.abiquo.com/api/latest/VirtualMachinesResource.html#deploy-a-virtual-machine

cURL

Code Block

curl -X POST https://abiquoapi.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

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

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://abiquoapi.bcn.abiquo.com:443/api/cloud/virtualdatacenters/2075/virtualappliances/2596/virtualmachines/16644/tasks/d49aedbe-cc20-4410-9e74-2de1243342aa"
        }
    ]
}

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.
