Api reconfigure VM’s Networks

* Main steps

- Prepare information

- Get VM’s networks information

- Reconfig VM’s networks

1. Preparation

* Login IAM portal -> vCD portal: collect the information

- {{vcd_url}}

- {{vm-uuid}}: select VM -> take a look vm uuid on url

- {{network_name}}: Select Networking -> Networks -> Copy the network name

-{{Bearer Token}}: Please follow “Api token login” document

2. Get VM’s network information

Postman:

GET https://{{vcd_url}}/api/vApp/{{vm-uuid}}/virtualHardwareSection/networkCards

Authorization: {{Bearer Token}}

Headers:

- ‘Accept’: */*;version=37.2

- ‘Content-type’: application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.rasdItem+xml

SEND request.

*** Copy Response Body

3. Reconfig VM’s networks

Postman:

PUT https//{{vcd_url}}/api/vApp/{{vm-uuid}}/virtualHardwareSection/networkCards

Authorization: {{Bearer Token }}

Headers:

- 'Accept’: */*;version=37.2

- ‘Content-type’: application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.rasdItemsList+xml; charset=ISO-8859-1

Body: {{select raw -> copy and paste response body from Get VM’s networks information }}

+ Pool: Please setup Static IP pools on your network -> IP Management

ns10:ipAddress and edit the value in “” (“VM ipv4 address”) – no need if using DHCP or Pool

ns10:primaryNetworkConnection and edit the value in “” (paste network name {{netwok_name}} )

SEND request.

4. Verify

* Get VM’s networks information

GET https://{{vcd_url}}/api/vApp/{{vm-uuid}}/virtualHardwareSection/networkCards

* Check on vCD portal

Login IAM -> vCD portal-> select VM-> NICs
