Storage

For the storage collection resource, you can use an object value to return another value for the same object.

Getting a {storageId}

The {storageid} is given for every storage server. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus assigns an ID {storageId} to each storage server.

Method and URI: To convert the value of an object for a storage server, use a GET method with a URI:

GET     https://{hostname|IP}/api/storage

Path: Response body (JSON) > storages > name & id.

Example: Assume that you added a vSnap server, 10.0.1.1, to IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. A Python snippet that is similar to the following example can be used to return its {storageId} value, 2001:

object_name = "10.0.1.1"

_response = requests.get('https://' + spp_ipv4 + '/api/storage',
    headers=..., verify=...)

_response_json = json.loads(_response.text)    # Convert to JSON

object_json = _response_json['storages']

for keys in object_json:
    if keys['name'] == object_name:
        object_id = keys['id']

print(object_id)
