Could not to inspect the dedicated host provisioning process - ibm-cloud

Question

When I used slcli(softlayer-python command) to create a dedicated host, the command return the order id. And I check the order's status was 'APPROVED'. But I can not get the host in the result of 'SoftLayer_Account/getDedicatedHosts'.
So I check the billing item and it is 'dedicated_virtual_hosts' rightly. Did SoftLayer API support another approach to inspect the dedicated host provisioned? Or did I do something wrong?

Answer 1

Yes, the dedicated host should be listed when calling to SoftLayer_Account::getDedicatedHosts method, or when using the "slcli dedicatedhost list" command. I suggest to check your permissions and device access, verify that "View Virtual Dedicated Host Details" is checked.
Below are some slcli commands I executed to order and list dedicated hosts.
To order a dedicated host:
slcli dedicatedhost create -H slahostname -D example.com -d mex01 -f 56_CORES_X_242_RAM_X_1_4_TB
To list dedicated hosts:
slcli dedicatedhost list
:.......:...................:..........:..............:................:............:............:
: id : name : cpuCount : diskCapacity : memoryCapacity : datacenter : guestCount :
:.......:...................:..........:..............:................:............:............:
: 11111 : slahostname : 56 : 1200 : 242 : mex01 : - :
:.......:...................:..........:..............:................:............:............:
Below an example about how to see the details:
slcli dedicatedhost detail 11111
:.................:...........................:
: name : value :
:.................:...........................:
: id : 11111 :
: name : slahostname :
: cpu count : 56 :
: memory capacity : 242 :
: disk capacity : 1200 :
: create date : 2018-02-01T09:53:46-04:00 :
: modify date : :
: router id : 333333 :
: router hostname : bcr01a.mex01 :
: owner : owner001 :
: guest count : 0 :
: datacenter : mex01 :
:.................:...........................:
Using RestFul the response when calling to SoftLayer_Account::getDedicatedHosts should be something like below:
GET:
https://[userName]:[apiKey]#api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getDedicatedHosts
RESPONSE:
{
"cpuCount": 56,
"createDate": "2018-02-01T09:53:46-04:00",
"diskCapacity": 1200,
"id": 11111,
"memoryCapacity": 242,
"modifyDate": null,
"name": "slahostname"
}
Also you can use SoftLayer_Virtual_DedicatedHost::getObject method:
GET:
https://[userName]:[apiKey]#api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Virtual_DedicatedHost/11111/getObject
