Internal Server Error when editing tenant

[jzitny]

Hi,

we're testing the new part of api working with /cloud/tenants. However, when trying to PUT a request to change specific tenant at /cloud/tenants/{id} we're receiving 500 Internal Server Error. The same is happening when trying to POST a request to add storage quota on a resource at /cloud/tenants/{id}/resources.

The response body looks like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Error xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0 xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance StatusCode="500" Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object.">

</Error>

- although object instance id is correct and when GETting it, the response is allright.

Another question, is it possible to create a tenant from API? There is no documentation on creating /cloud/tenant with POST. Is there any other way to create the tenant or is there a plan to add this feature to the API?

Thanks.

I am very also interested in the answer to the question about adding a user via the API. I've been up and down the documentation and don't see anything documented that leads me to believe adding a cloud tenant is supported by the REST API currently. There's a Powershell command to do it--all I've found.

Can you provide a whole request you're experiencing problems with?

As to tenant's creation, you can issue a POST request to /api/cloud/tenants resources and provide a similar spec:

Code: Select all

<CreateCloudTenantSpec xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><BackupServerIdOrName>BackupServerIDorName</BackupServerIdOrName><Name>Tenant's Name</Name><Password>Tenant's Password</Password><Enabled>true</Enabled></CreateCloudTenantSpec>

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the reply and sorry for late response. The problem was in the request format indeed.

We've found a project for creation of vcc tennants at github and we're extending it — https://github.com/poulpreben/veeam-cloudconnect.

Also the POST entry for API at /cloud/tenants has been added to docs — http://helpcenter.veeam.com/backup/80/r ... nmngr.html.

Thanks.

Glad to hear you've come across Preben's (our team leader solution architects) project part of which he demonstrated during our session at VeeamON 2014.
