Where:

template_id - the ID of a template from which a VS should be built

Make sure that a template is located on a backup server attached to the compute resource on which you wish to built the VS, otherwise, the creation of the VS will fail.

label* - user-friendly VS description

hostname* - set the host name for this VS

domain - specify the domain for this VS. The default value is localdomain. You can edit the default value for domain in /onapp/interface/config/on_app.yml. This parameter is not applicable for Windows virtual servers.

initial_root_password - the root password for a VS. Optional, if none specified, the system will provide a random password. It can consist of 6-32 characters, letters [A-Za-z], digits [0-9], dash [ - ] and lower dash [ _ ], and the following special characters: ~ ! @ # $ * _ - + = ` \\ { } [ ] : ; ' , . ? /. You can use both lower- and uppercase letters.

The following characters are not allowed for Windows-based virtual servers:

percent sign [%]
double quotation marks [“]
brackets [<,>]
vertical bar [|]
caret [^]
ampersand [&]
parentheses [(,)]

initial_root_password_confirmation - confirm the root password for a VS

hypervisor_group_id - the ID of the compute zone in which the VS will be created. Optional: if no compute zone is set, the VS will be built in any available compute zone

hypervisor_id - the ID of a compute resource where the VS will be built. Optional: if no compute resource ID is specified, the VS will be built on the compute resource with the least available RAM (but sufficient RAM for the VS)

memory - amount of RAM assigned to the VS

cpus* - number of CPUs assigned to the VS. For KVM compute resources, this parameter sets CPU sockets by default, unless CPU topology is enabled.

cpu_shares* - required parameter. For KVM compute resource the CPU priority value is always 100. For XEN, set a custom value. The default value for XEN is 1

cpu_units - the amount of CPU units per core if the CPU priority is replaced with CPU units in user bucket.

cpu_topology - set 1 to enable CPU topology, otherwise set 0

disks_attributes - an array of disk attributes with the following parameters:

data_store_id - the ID of the data store for VS's disk

network_interfaces_attributes - an array of network interfaces attributes with the following parameters:

network_id - the ID of the network from which the VS should get the IP address
ip_net_id - the ID of the IP net from which the IP address should be assigned
ip_range_id - the ID of the IP range from which the IP address should be assigned
ip_address - the ID of an IP address for the VS

Be aware, that you should choose only public IP address. Otherwise, VS built from OVA will not work properly.
rate_limit - set max port speed in Mbps or set 0 to get maximum port speed allowed by your bucket. If this parameter is omitted or sent without value, the default port speed will be configured for the VS. The default port speed depends on the maximum port speed set in your bucket and the Max network interface port speed parameter at Control Panel > Settings >Configuration. The system identifies which of the two values (in the bucket or in the configuration) is lower and sets it as the default port speed during VS creation.

required_automatic_backup - set 1 if you need automatic backups

required_virtual_machine_build* - set 1 to build VS automatically

required_virtual_machine_startup - set 1 to start up the VS automatically, otherwise set 0 (default state is "1")

acceleration - true if acceleration is enabled for the virtual server; otherwise false.
