Perform a Day 2 Action: Power Off

You can use the REST API catalog service to perform a power off action. For simple actions that require no user input, the process is straightforward.

    {
        "@type": "link",
        "rel": "GET Template: {com.vmware.csp.component.iaas.proxy.provider@resource.action.name.machine.PowerOff}",
        "href": "https://$host/api/consumer/resources/dd37b7a1-829c-4773-b5be-b229453eca4a/actions/02bad06d-f92b-4cf8-b964-37bb5d57be38/requests/template"
    },
    {
        "@type": "link",
        "rel": "POST: {com.vmware.csp.component.iaas.proxy.provider@resource.action.name.machine.PowerOff}",
        "href": "https://$host/api/consumer/resources/dd37b7a1-829c-4773-b5be-b229453eca4a/actions/02bad06d-f92b-4cf8-b964-37bb5d57be38/requests"
    }

1. Get the template for the resource action request.

   $curl --insecure -s
   			 -H" Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -H "Authorization: Bearer $token"
   			 https://$host/catalog-service/api/consumer/resources/dd37b7a1-829c-4773-b5be-b229453eca4a/actions/02bad06d-f92b-4cf8-b964-37bb5d57be38/requests/template

   This example command returns a response.

   {
     "type": "com.vmware.vcac.catalog.domain.request.CatalogResourceRequest",
     "resourceId": "dd37b7a1-829c-4773-b5be-b229453eca4a",
     "actionId": "02bad06d-f92b-4cf8-b964-37bb5d57be38",
     "description": null,
     "data": {
       "description": null,
       "reasons": null
     }
   }
   

2. Use a POST command to send the template without modification to the corresponding URI.

   $curl --insecure -s
   			 -H" Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -H "Authorization: Bearer $token"https://$host/catalog-service/api/consumer/resources/dd37b7a1-829c-4773-b5be-b229453eca4a/actions/02bad06d-f92b-4cf8-b964-37bb5d57be38/requests 
   {
     "type": "com.vmware.vcac.catalog.domain.request.CatalogResourceRequest",
     "resourceId": "dd37b7a1-829c-4773-b5be-b229453eca4a",
     "actionId": "02bad06d-f92b-4cf8-b964-37bb5d57be38",
     "description": null,
     "data": {
       "description": null,
       "reasons": null
     }
   }
