Updating a storage

To update a storage

1. Authenticate to the cloud platform via the Python shell.

   The following variables should be available now:

   >>> base_url  # the base URL of the API
   '<the data center URL>/api/2'
   >>> auth  # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token
   {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'}
   >>> tenant_id  # the UUID of the tenant to which the token provides access
   'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
   

2. Assign the infra_id variable the UUID of an infrastructure component created via the API or an infrastructure component found in location’s infrastructure components:

   >>> infra_id = created_infra_id
   >>> infra_id
   'f79546d7-d051-4e19-96f3-4cc68c2c5575'
   

3. Fetch the revision number of the storage as described in the chapters above. The following variable should be available now:

   >>> version
   1
   

4. Define a variable named infra_data, and then assign the storage to update to this variable:

   >>> infra_data = {
   ...     "url": "Amazon S3 Storage",
   ...     "version": version
   ... }
   

   Name	Value type	Required	Description
   url	string	No	The storage URL. See storage url formatting rules
   version	number	Yes	Revision number.

5. Convert the infra_data object to a JSON text:

   >>> infra_data = json.dumps(infra_data, indent=4)
   

6. Send a PUT request with the JSON text to the /infra/{infra_id} endpoint:

   >>> response = requests.put(
   ...     f'{base_url}/infra/{infra_id}',
   ...     headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth},
   ...     data=infra_data,
   ... )
   

7. Check the status code of the response:

   >>> response.status_code
   200
   

   Status code 200 means that the storage has been successfully updated.

   Note

   A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.

   Also, the response body contains the updated storage, formatted as a JSON text. When converted to an object, it will look like this:

   >>> pprint.pprint(response.json())
   {'backend_type': None,
    'capabilities': ['files_cloud'],
    'id': 'f79546d7-d051-4e19-96f3-4cc68c2c5575',
    'location_id': 'afac0e4d-9deb-4201-9df3-e124dd7d9955',
    'name': 'Amazon S3 Storage',
    'owner_tenant_id': 'e5afb5e8-84b6-415b-969d-bc10d19f3301',
    'platform_owned': False,
    'readonly': False,
    'url': 'amazon+s3://s3.amazonaws.com/my-bucket-name',
    'version': 2}
