Create a
vSphere
 Storage Profile for a First Class Disk

To create a
vSphere
 Storage Profile that supports First Class Disk (FCD) storage, you make a POST request with a region ID and you include first class as the disk type property. Optional request body input includes a
vSphere
 storage policy and a
vSphere
 datastore.
  1. Assign the cloud account ID variable.
    vsphere_cloud_account_id='<
    your_cloud_account_id
    >'
  2. Look up region IDs associated with the cloud account and in the external region ID
    Datacenter:datacenter-3
    .
    curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" "$url/iaas/api/regions/?apiVersion=$api_version&"'$filter'"=externalRegionId%20eq%20'Datacenter:datacenter-3'%20and%20cloudAccountId%20eq%20'"$vsphere_cloud_account_id"'"  | jq "."
  3. Examine the response to find the ID for the region that you want.
  4. Assign the region ID variable.
    vsphere_region_id='<
    your_region_id
    >'
  5. If using a
    vSphere
     storage policy, list all
    vSphere
     storage policies. If using a default storage policy, skip this step.
    curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" "$url/iaas/api/fabric-vsphere-storage-policies/?apiVersion=$api_version" | jq "."
    Examine the response and assign the
    vSphere
     storage policy ID.
    vsphere_storage_policy_id='<
    your_vsphere_storage_policy_id
    >'
  6. If using a
    vSphere
     datastore, list all
    vSphere
     datastores. If provisioning any datastore or cluster, skip this step. 
    curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" "$url/iaas/api/fabric-vsphere-datastores/?apiVersion=$api_version" | jq "."
    Examine the response and assign the
    vSphere
     datastore ID.
    vsphere_datastore_id='<
    your_vsphere_datastore_id
    >'
  7. Create a
    vSphere
     Storage Profile with the FCD property.
    curl -X POST \ 
  $url/iaas/api/storage-profiles?apiVersion=$api_version \ 
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ 
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" \ 
  -d '{ 
    "name": "<
    your_vsphere_storage_profile_with_FCD
    >",
    "description": "Example First Class Disk vSphere Storage Profile",
    "defaultItem": true,
    "provisioningType": "thin",
    "diskType": "firstClass",
    "regionId": "'$vsphere_region_id'",
    "tags": [ { "key": "type", "value": "fcd" } ]
    }' | jq "."
  8. Examine the response.
    • "defaultItem": true
       indicates that this storage profile is the default for the region.
    • Tags help you to locate, manage, and work with the infrastructure resources.

 Storage Profile with FCD storage
Assign the required variables including the cloud account ID for a
vSphere
 cloud account.
$ url='https://appliance.domain.com'
$ api_version='

$ vsphere_cloud_account_id='683c647b-413d-4673-a236-08b3694cd652'
Look up region IDs associated with the cloud account and in the external region ID
Datacenter:datacenter-3
.

Assign the
vSphere
 region ID.
$ vsphere_region_id='0f182edc-1155-4df1-a53a-2c46be7bc373'
If using a
vSphere
 storage policy, perform the following steps.
  1. List all
    vSphere
     storage policies.
    $ curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" "$url/iaas/api/fabric-vsphere-storage-policies/?apiVersion=$api_version" | jq "."
