Softlayer SLCLI server list by pattern

I want to query my list of servers, but only return servers that match a pattern; reason for this is I want to contact a specific set of servers, for example: server_apisX, and server_uiX.

I tried slcli vs list -H myhostprefix but it only matches exact matches.

Thanks

  • Complementing the previous answer …

    Please, try the following examples:

    Hostname to test: “myhostname-vsi-test”

    • Contains part of the hostname:

      slcli vs list –H “*=vsi”

    • Begins with:

      slcli vs lsit –H “^= myhost”

    • Ends with:

      slcli vs lsit –H “$= test”
