NSX-ALB API error

[ehodges1]

I'm trying to use the NSX-ALB (formerly AVI) API to create a Virtual Service using an existing Pool. I am using API version 20.1.1. Here is the JSON payload:

{
"vip": [
{
"ip_address": {
"addr": "10.139.17.28",
"type": "V4"
}
}
],
"name": "EricHoVS5",
"services": [
{
"port": 80
}
],
"pool_ref": {
"name": "EricHoTest4"
}
}

The error I get back is: "VsVip field (vip) found in VirtualService API"

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi,

Yes. There are 2 entries to create a vip.
1. the vsvip 
2. the virtual service.

The API is telling you that you want to create a vsvip on the virtual service api.

This should go to /api/vsvip

"vip": [

        {

            "vip_id": "1",

            "ip_address": {

                "addr": "x.x.x.x",

                "type": "V4"

            },

            "enabled": true,

            "auto_allocate_ip": true,

            "auto_allocate_floating_ip": true,

            "avi_allocated_vip": true,

            "avi_allocated_fip": true,

            "auto_allocate_ip_type": "V4_ONLY",

            "prefix_length": 32

        }

    ],

and then to /api/virtualservice

*snip*

"services": [
{
"port": 443,
"enable_ssl": false,
"port_range_end": 443,
"enable_http2": false
},

{
"port": 80,
"enable_ssl": false,
"port_range_end": 80,
"enable_http2": false
}
],

"pool_ref": "https://xxxx.net/api/pool/pool-e09cc2a5-9a85-4730-8c67-6dfa5a835fbd",

"vsvip_ref": "https://xxxx.net/api/vsvip/vsvip-5333f6f3-792a-4b63-86df-e89ca9a8f7cb",

The 'easiest' is to create a complete VIP in gui and then query it on API. You can see all the fields.
