That would probably be useful, Jessica. Another thing that would have been even more useful is to know, for example, what the format of the url field of the createStoragePool command should be. It is a string, but it doesn't say what format it should be in. In my case (because I was setting up a

Not knowing where the docs were is a docs issue. Maybe we need to add a link to the Developer's Guide as part of the header on every API command man page? Mike, would that have helped give you a hint as to where to get more info? Jessica T. On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 12:30 PM, Mike Tutkowski < mike.

Hey everyone, Thanks for the help! I was able to successfully make my first CS API call and deploy a VM. :) On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 1:54 PM, Mike Tutkowski < mike.tutkow...@solidfire.com> wrote: > I think I may know the problem here: > > I only have one template and it is a system template.

Re: CloudStack API Question

I think I may know the problem here: I only have one template and it is a system template. So, even when I walk through the wizard to kick off a VM, I can't do so because there are no ISOs or templates to choose from. I'm using DevCloud2. I thought it provided at least one template for you? O

Looking at what you pasted in. I think you forgot to add the api key to the request parameters before you sorted them and then generated your signature. In short, your signature is wrong... On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 2:40 PM, Will Stevens wrote: > When you generated your signature, did you first

You may use marvin or cloudmonkey for automation as well. A trick is to use the integration port 8096 to create users and register user keys (api for creating user api and secret keys) and use them on port 8080 for authentication. Regards. On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 8:56 AM, Mike Tutkowski wrote:

Thanks for the info. So, I see we have three roles in CloudStack: Root Admin, Domain Admin, and User. When submitting API commands, does the submitter - regardless of role - have to provide an API Key and Secret Key (or is that something, say, the Root Admin doesn't have to do)? Thanks! On Tu
