Solved: Adding SCSI controller manually

johanneshiemer · ‎11-08-2011

Hi,

I have troubles adding a SCSI controller. My code looks like this:

name = "SSCI Controller";
description = "SSCI Controller";address = 0;
type = 6;
subType = "lsilogicsas";
CimString cimString = new CimString();
Map<QName, String> cimAttributes = cimString.getOtherAttributes();
cimAttributes.put(new QName("http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5",
"busSubType", "vcloud"), subType);
cimAttributes.put(new QName("http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5",
"busType", "vcloud"), String.valueOf(type));
cimString.getOtherAttributes().putAll(cimAttributes);
CimString setElementName = new CimString();
setElementName.setValue(name);
CimString setDescription = new CimString();
setDescription.setValue(description);
CimString setInstanceID = new CimString();
setInstanceID.setValue("1000");
ResourceType setResourceType = new ResourceType();
setResourceType.setValue(String.valueOf(type));
CimString setAddress = new CimString();
setAddress.setValue(String.valueOf(address));
RASDType diskItemType = new RASDType();
diskItemType.setElementName(setElementName);
diskItemType.setDescription(setDescription);
diskItemType.setInstanceID(setInstanceID);
diskItemType.setResourceType(setResourceType);
diskItemType.setAddress(setAddress);
diskItemType.getHostResource().add(cimString);

The xml looks like this:


 <ns6:Item>
        <ns3:Address>0</ns3:Address>
        <ns3:Description>IDE Controller</ns3:Description>
        <ns3:ElementName>IDE Controller 0</ns3:ElementName>
            <ns3:InstanceID>1</ns3:InstanceID>
        <ns3:ResourceType>5</ns3:ResourceType>
    </ns6:Item>
    <ns6:Item>
        <ns3:Address>0</ns3:Address>
            <ns3:Description>SSCI Controller</ns3:Description>
        <ns3:ElementName>SSCI Controller</ns3:ElementName>
        <ns3:HostResource ns6:busSubType="lsilogicsas" ns6:busType="6"/>
        <ns3:InstanceID>1000</ns3:InstanceID>
        <ns3:ResourceType>6</ns3:ResourceType>
    </ns6:Item>

I also get a success message:


<Task xmlns="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5" status="success" startTime="2011-11-08T21:14:32.401+01:00" operationName="vappUpdateVm" operation="Updated Virtual Machine Test Machine(6c99a693-fcfc-4424-afdb-cf5a9172447b)" expiryTime="2012-02-06T21:14:32.401+01:00" endTime="2011-11-08T21:14:32.635+01:00" name="task" id="urn:vcloud:task:ac59ce2a-fc3f-451e-891d-0a2e1ab54e7c" type="application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.task+xml" href="https://188.138.123.220/api/task/ac59ce2a-fc3f-451e-891d-0a2e1ab54e7c" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5 http://172.30.34.220/api/v1.5/schema/master.xsd">

</Task>

The problem is, taking a look into the hardware section I don't find the SCSI controller...

Can anyone help me?

Hi,

Adding a disk of SCSI type will take care of adding the SCSI controller for you.

I dont think you can add only a SCSI controller without any disk to it.

Try adding only a disk of SCSI(buslogic, lsilogic, lsilogicsas, VIrtualSCSI) type which will take care of adding a SCSI controller for you.

<ns6:Item>

<ns4:ElementName>any name</ns4:ElementName>

<ns4:HostResource ns6:capacity="1024" ns6:busSubType="lsilogicsas" ns6:busType="6"/>

<ns4:InstanceID>any id</ns4:InstanceID>

<ns4:ResourceType>17</ns4:ResourceType>

</ns6:Item>
