To create an Azure storage profile, you make a POST request with a region ID. The request body includes an Azure fabric storage account ID.

As an alternative to using the storage-profiles API call to create an Azure storage profile, you can also use the storage-profiles-azure API call. Optional procedure steps show how to use the storage-profiles-azure API call. The example only includes the steps required to create an Azure storage profile using the storage-profiles API call.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Assign the cloud account ID variable. 
    azure_cloud_account_id='<your_cloud_account_id>'
  2. Look up region IDs associated with the cloud account. 
    curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" "$url/iaas/api/regions/?apiVersion=$api_version&"'$filter'"=externalRegionId%20eq%20'us-east-1'%20and%20cloudAccountId%20eq%20'"$zaure_cloud_account_id"'"  | jq "."
  3. Examine the response to find the ID for the region that you want.
  4. Assign the region ID variable. 
    azure_region_id='<your_region_id>'
  5. List all Azure fabric storage accounts. 
    curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" "$url/iaas/api/fabric-azure-storage-accounts/?apiVersion=$api_version" | jq "."
  6. To select a storage account ID, examine the response.
  7. Create a storage profile for the selected region. 
    curl -X POST \ 
  $url/iaas/api/storage-profiles?apiVersion=$api_version \ 
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ 
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" \ 
  -d '{ 
    "defaultItem": false, 
    "supportsEncryption": false, 
    "tags": [ { "key": "env", "value": "dev" } ], 
    "diskProperties": { 
    "azureOsDiskCaching": "None", 
    "azureDataDiskCaching": "None" 
  }, 
  "diskTargetProperties": { "storageAccountId": "<storage_account_id_from_response>" }, 
  "regionId": "'$azure_region_id'", 
  "name": "<your-azure-storage-profile>", 
  "description": "Example Azure storage profile" 
}' | jq "."
  8. (Optional) Create a storage profile for the selected region using the storage-profiles-azure API call. 
    curl -X POST \ 
  $url/iaas/api/storage-profiles-azure?apiVersion=$api_version \ 
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ 
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" \ 
  -d '{ 
    "defaultItem": false, 
    "supportsEncryption": false, 
    "osDiskCaching": "None", 
    "dataDiskCaching": "None", 
    "storageAccountId": "<storage_account_id_from_response>", 
    "regionId": "'$azure_region_id'", 
    "name": "<your-azure-storage-profile>", 
    "description": "Example Azure storage profile" 
    "tags": [ { "key": "env", "value": "dev" } ] 
}' | jq "."
  9. To obtain the storage profile ID, examine the response.
  10. Assign the storage profile ID variable. 
    azure_storage_profile_id='<your_storage_profile_id>'
  11. (Optional) Look up the storage profile you created with your storage profile ID. 
    curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" $url/iaas/api/storage-profiles/$azure_storage_profile_id?apiVersion=$api_version | jq "."
    The response shows the name and ID for the storage profile you created.
    Note: Using the external region ID and the cloud account ID, you can also filter for the storage profile with a query that does not require the storage profile ID. See Filtering Resources by Region ID.
  12. (Optional) List all Azure storage profiles using the storage-profiles-azure API call. 
    curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" $url/iaas/api/storage-profiles-azure?apiVersion=$api_version | jq "."
  13. (Optional) Delete an Azure storage profile. Alternatively, you can use the storage-profiles-azure API call. 
    curl -X DELETE -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" $url/iaas/api/storage-profiles/$azure_storage_profile_id?apiVersion=$api_version | jq "."

Example: Create an Azure storage profile

Assign the required variables including the cloud account ID for an Azure cloud account. 
$ url='https://appliance.domain.com'
$ api_version='2021-07-15'
$ azure_cloud_account_id='c8c3c9bfdb449475-7f703c5265a63d87-5fa34c478df36b060e1ca3551254c4033013bf3283908e4661cd1c6fb2f8b9ae-ce5aad01092b47558644f6b6615d'

Look up region IDs associated with the cloud account and in the external region ID us-east-1

$ curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" "$url/iaas/api/regions/?apiVersion=$api_version&"'$filter'"=externalRegionId%20eq%20'us-east-1'%20and%20cloudAccountId%20eq%20'"$azure_cloud_account_id"'"  | jq "."
