Softlayer API to activate storage failover

I'm trying to activate the failover of the storage via Softlayer API. I wrote this code

import SoftLayer
API_USERNAME = 'xxx'
API_KEY = 'yyy'
iscsiId_primary = AAAA
iscsiId_replica = BBBB
client = SoftLayer.Client(username=API_USERNAME, api_key=API_KEY)
networkStorageService = client['SoftLayer_Network_Storage']

networkStorageService.FailoverToReplicant(id=iscsiId_primary)

The console returned me this error

SoftLayerAPIError(SoftLayer_Exception_InvalidValue): Invalid value provided for 'The replicant id provided is not part of the replication partners associated to this volume.'.

If I try to put the replica storage ID the error is

SoftLayerAPIError(SoftLayer_Exception_Public): Replication is not supported by this storage type.

I think that the call to the failover function is incorrect. Someone could send me the correct syntax?.

Thanks a lot

Solution

  • According to SoftLayer_Network_Storage method, it is neccesary specify "replicantId" parameter.

    Try the following in your code:

    networkStorageService.FailoverToReplicant(iscsiId_replica, id=iscsiId_primary)

    I hope it helps
