Solved!
Go to SolutionXtremeIO POST REST error 400
Hello,
I need help of consistency group refresh from another consistency group ( repurpose copy refresh).
Example:
Original consistency group name: API-CG
Repurpose consistency group created from API-CG is: API-CG4
I need to refresh API-CG4 from API-CG later some time with no backup option so i am trying to automate this through my code but before that i am trying this in postman web, but i am getting 400 bad request error.
POST: https://xmsserver/api/json/v2/types/snapshots
Body: raw/JSON
{
"from-consisntency-group-name": "API-CG",
"to-consisntency-group-name": "API-CG4",
"no-backup": "true"
}
Authorization credentials provided ( regular CG/snapshot POST, PUT, DELETE operations working ).
Am i missing anything here ? appreciate any help.

Unfortunately the manual isn't very clear here, but in order to do a refresh you actually need to pass another option - "refresh-data", which can have any value (eg, "true" works fine).
Otherwise what you've got looks right.

yaa forgot about that. this time its working no error but end result is not what i expected. The target consistency group didn't get refreshed, the last refresh data on target CGroup and volume is still Dec 19 which i did first refresh.
Here i attached the both postman and Xtreme dashboard screenshot of target CG/volume. Appreciate your help Scott!

You've missed a comma between the last 2 options.
Gotta love JSON, no?

Can you try hitting F5 in your browser to refresh the UI and see if that date updates?
I've just tested this myself, and I see the same thing as you - the Last Refreshed date doesn't change when I do the refresh. But then when I hit F5, it changes to the time I did the refresh.
I'll get a bug raised for this field not refreshing correctly automatically, but I'm pretty sure you'll find the actual refresh is working perfectly!
