Overview

VirtualServerOrder orders virtual servers using SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest::createObject.

sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/createObject

createObject allows you to order a virtual server by providing a simple set of attributes and allows you to avoid much of the complexity of the SoftLayer ordering system (see ProductPackage)

Instance Method Details

#place_order! ⇒ Object

Calls the SoftLayer API to place an order for a new virtual server based on the template in this order. If this succeeds then you will be billed for the new Virtual Server.

If you provide a block, it will receive the order template as a parameter and should return an order template, carefully modified, that will be sent to create the server

def place_order!()
  order_template = virtual_guest_template
  order_template = yield order_template if block_given?

  virtual_server_hash = @softlayer_client["Virtual_Guest"].createObject(order_template)
  SoftLayer::VirtualServer.server_with_id(virtual_server_hash["id"], :client => @softlayer_client) if virtual_server_hash
end

#verify ⇒ Object

Calls the SoftLayer API to verify that the template provided by this order is valid This routine will return the order template generated by the API or will throw an exception

This routine will not actually create a Virtual Server and will not affect billing.

If you provide a block, it will receive the order template as a parameter and it should return the order template you wish to forward to the server.
