VADP

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

Getting a {vadpId}

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus assigns an ID {vadpId} to each VADP proxy.

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

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

Path: Response body (JSON) > vadps > ipAddr & id

Example: Assume that you added a VADP proxy (IPv4 address 10.0.2.1) to IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. A Python snippet that is similar to the following example can be used to return its ID, 2102:

object_name = "10.0.2.1"

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

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

object_json = _response_json['vadps']

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

print(object_id)
2102
