Modifying a resource instance

To modify a resource instance, use the following request components:

Headers

Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
X-EMC-REST-CLIENT: true
EMC-CSRF-TOKEN: <token>

Operation

POST

URI patterns

For all resource types that support the modify operation:

/api/instances/<resourceType>/<id>/action/modify

For applicable resource types that support the modify operation:

/api/instances/<resourceType>/name:<assignedName>/action/modify

where:

• <resourceType> is the resource type of the instance you want to modify.
• <id> is the unique identifier of the instance you want to modify.
• <assignedName> is the user-assigned name of the instance you want to modify.

For additional functionality, such as making the request an asynchronous request and localizing return messages, you can append one or more request parameters to the URI. To see if a resource type can be identified by the assigned name, see the individual resource type topics in the Unisphere Management REST API Reference Guide.

Body

{
   "argument1":<value>,
   "argument2":<value>,
   .
   .
   .
}

where the comma-separated list contains all required arguments and any optional arguments. Use double quotes around a string, dateTime, or IPAddress value.

If the request succeeds, it returns a 204 No Content HTTP status code and an empty response body. If the request does not succeed, the server returns a 4nn or 5nn HTTP status code in the response header and a message entity in the response body.
