Is it possible to order/configure IBM SoftLayer file storage using slcli or Python API?

Is it possible to order file storage using either the SoftLayer CLI slcli or the Python API?

I can list the file storage in my account, but I do not see any sub-commands for ordering new storage or authorizing hosts.

slcli nas

Usage: slcli nas [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Network Attached Storage.

Options:
  -h, --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  credentials  List NAS account credentials.
  list         List NAS accounts.

I cannot find a way using the Python API either.

Am I forced to use the SoftLayer web portal, or is there a hidden API somewhere?

Solution

  • FYI, while the script above works for storage 1000GB and higher, see this answer for storage less than 1000GB. What are valid IOPS values for ordering File Storage via the SoftLayer API
