Hi,

I have the same problem, I'm trying to replicate a VM using RESTAPI but I don't find the complete RESTAPI documentation. Please, anyone know where can I find some document where I can see all methods and parameters?

 

I have seen the pdf "docu89863_RecoverPoint-for-Virtual-Machines-5.2-REST-API-Guide.pdf" but there is very limited info.

 

Thanks and regards,

 

Francisco Tomas.

Hi,

I'm currently working on the same problem... Accessing RP4VM with abstract classes fails with no good explaination.

Some time has passed since the original post. Did anyone find a solution and can provide a JSON example?

Hello, Please see if the below helps Create CG POST – https://10.108.145.119/fapi/rest/5_1/groups/virtual_machines/replicate { "JsonSubType" : "ReplicateVmsParam", "cgName" : "SampleCGName", "productionCopy" : { "clusterUID" : { "id" : 3609727980236804096 }, "copyUID" : 0 }, "productionCopyName" : null, "vmReplicationSets" : [ { "replicationSetVms" : [ { "copyUID" : { "clusterUID" : { "id" : 3609727980236804096 }, "copyUID" : 1 }, "vmParam" : { "JsonSubType" : "CreateVMParam", "targetVirtualCenterUID" : { "uuid" : "7223C5B7-1943-4071-A4E9-66AAE98A7121" }, "targetResourcePlacementParam" : { "JsonSubType" : "CreateTargetVMManualResourcePlacementParam", "targetEsxUID" : { "uuid" : "host-23" } }, "targetDatastoreUID" : { "uuid" : "datastore-6512" } } }, { "copyUID" : { "clusterUID" : { "id" : 3609727980236804096 }, "copyUID" : 0 }, "vmParam" : { "JsonSubType" : "ExistingVMParam", "vmUID" : { "uuid" : "500c4ec2-50c1-0123-9e98-f557b592fc13", "virtualCenterUID" : { "uuid" : "7223C5B7-1943-4071-A4E9-66AAE98A7121" } } } } ], "virtualHardwareReplicationPolicy" : { "provisionPolicy" : "SAME_AS_SOURCE", "hwChangesPolicy" : "REPLICATE_HW_CHANGES", "replicateMACAddress" : false }, "virtualDisksReplicationPolicy" : { "autoReplicateNewVirtualDisks" : true, "diskSettings" : [ { "diskId" : { "unitNumber" : 0, "controller" : 0, "controllerType" : "CONTROLLER_TYPE_SCSI" }, "included" : true } ] } } ], "links" : [ { "linkUID" : { "groupUID" : null, "firstCopy" : { "clusterUID" : { "id" : 3609727980236804096 }, "copyUID" : 0 }, "secondCopy" : { "clusterUID" : { "id" : 3609727980236804096 }, "copyUID" : 1 } }, "linkPolicy" : { "JsonSubType" : "ConsistencyGroupLinkPolicy", "protectionPolicy" : { "protectionType" : "ASYNCHRONOUS", "syncReplicationLatencyThresholds" : { "thresholdEnabled" : false, "startAsyncReplicationAbove" : { "value" : 5000, "type" : "MICROSECONDS" }, "resumeSyncReplicationBelow" : { "value" : 3000, "type" : "MICROSECONDS" } }, "syncReplicationThroughputThresholds" : { "thresholdEnabled" : false, "startAsyncReplicationAbove" : { "value" : 45000, "type" : "KB" }, "resumeSyncReplicationBelow" : { "value" : 35000, "type" : "KB" } }, "rpoPolicy" : { "maximumAllowedLag" : { "value" : 25, "type" : "SECONDS" }, "allowRegulation" : false, "minimizationType" : "IRRELEVANT" }, "replicatingOverWAN" : false, "compression" : "NONE", "bandwidthLimit" : 0.0, "measureLagToTargetRPA" : true, "deduplication" : false, "weight" : 1 }, "advancedPolicy" : { "performLongInitialization" : true, "snapshotGranularity" : "FIXED_PER_SECOND" }, "snapshotShippingPolicy" : null } } ], "startTransfer" : true, "copies" : [ { "JsonSubType" : "ConsistencyGroupCopyParam", "copyUID" : { "clusterUID" : { "id" : 3609727980236804096 }, "copyUID" : 1 }, "copyName" : "replicaCp", "volumeCreationParams" : { "volumeParams" : [ { "JsonSubType" : "VolumeCreationParams", "volumeSize" : { "sizeInBytes" : 10737418240 }, "arrayUid" : { "id" : 262129646546525333, "clusterUID" : { "id" : 3609727980236804096 } }, "poolUid" : { "uuid" : 38081123845707144, "storageResourcePoolId" : "datastore-6514", "arrayUid" : { "id" : 262129646546525333, "clusterUID" : { "id" : 3609727980236804096 } } }, "tieringPolicy" : null, "resourcePoolType" : "VC_DATASTORE" } ] } }, { "JsonSubType" : "ConsistencyGroupCopyParam", "copyUID" : { "clusterUID" : { "id" : 3609727980236804096 }, "copyUID" : 0 }, "copyName" : "prdCp", "volumeCreationParams" : { "volumeParams" : [ { "JsonSubType" : "VolumeCreationParams", "volumeSize" : { "sizeInBytes" : 10737418240 }, "arrayUid" : { "id" : 262129646546525333, "clusterUID" : { "id" : 3609727980236804096 } }, "poolUid" : { "uuid" : 21528747797692195, "storageResourcePoolId" : "datastore-6513", "arrayUid" : { "id" : 262129646546525333, "clusterUID" : { "id" : 3609727980236804096 } } }, "tieringPolicy" : null, "resourcePoolType" : "VC_DATASTORE" } ] } } ] } Regards Raghav

Hi  Viswanathan,

Need some help, please suggest how do we get the VM uuid through REST API for a source VM, such that we can populate the below replicate VM parameter.

 

"vmParam": {

                              "JsonSubType": "ExistingVMParam",

                              "vmUID": {

                                   "uuid": "502236e5-38ce-a578-98cd-96ea5fee0445",

 

Hello xyker, Need some help, please suggest how do we get the VM uuid through REST API for a source VM, such that we can populate the below replicate VM parameter. "vmParam": { "JsonSubType": "ExistingVMParam", "vmUID": { "uuid": "502236e5-38ce-a578-98cd-96ea5fee0445",

This should be retrieved directly from vCenter (vSphere API / PowerCLI / etc.) as RPVM does not track and present VMs that are not protected yet.

Thanks for suggestion.

But i want know Which Vcenter Api. i have checked all Vcenter api(https://{}:7225/fapi/rest/5_2/recoverpoint.wadl) but  not found any api to reponse  vmUUI(uuid)..

Please help me in this regards.

Just google and you can find the one-liner you need
