Softlayer Hardware Service

[si5074]

I am trying to create hardware using the /services/softlayer_hardware service. Is there a sample hardware configuration that I can use? I tried a couple of hardware configuration but I always get the following error - `---

@si5074 I generally use the following parameters to specify cpu and memory. You could have a try.

  "startCpus":2,
  "maxMemory":4096,

Let us know the result.

@mattcui For hardware?

[si5074]

@mattcui startCpus or maxMemory are not available in SoftLayer_Hardware_Template

[mattcui]

@si5074 I could create a new bare metal machine with the following parameters:

{"processorCoreAmount"=>4, "memoryCapacity"=>4, "hostname"=>"xxxxxxx", "domain"=>"softlayer.com", "operatingSystemReferenceCode"=>"UBUNTU_14_64", "localDiskFlag"=>false, "hourlyBillingFlag"=>false, "datacenter"=>{"name"=>"lon02"}, ...

So you seemed to set a wrong memoryCapacity, from SL API doc:

`memoryCapacity` The amount of memory to allocate in gigabytes. Required Type - int
See getCreateObjectOptions for available options.

@si5074 did @mattcui answer help you? Otherwise can you identify what API parameters or functions we missed?

Please answer, otherwise, I will close this as resolved. Thanks,

@maximilien @mattcui Yes. Thank you.
