Re: [Xen-API] Unlisted error message CREATE_UNSPECIFIED_ATTRIBUTE

[Christopher Winslett <christopherwinslett@xxxxxxxxx>]

First off, networks don't take a "default_netmask" or "default_gateway".  They are simply VLANS connected to a PIF (physical interface) on the host.

I use Ruby for my demoing, and I've included a sample below.  If you can install Ruby, I've got a solution for finding answers.  Else, I'm out.  Of course on the following example, I've left out A LOT of possible steps, but you can see the basics.  Use the XEN Enterprise API documentation to find the commands.  After you install Ruby, run the following from command prompt:

# Run this from the command prompt, it will start the Interactive Ruby shell

irb

# Import the XMLRPC/Client library

require 'xmlrpc/client'

# For the following, insert the URL for your Connection

s = XMLRPC::Client.new2("https://localhost")

# Get your Session ID, use your API username and password

sid = s.call("session.login_with_password", "username", "password")["Value"] 

# Get a Network ID

network_id = s.call("network.get_all_records", sid)["Value"].keys.first

# Get the Network Information

s.call("network.get_record", sid, network_id)

# Create a New Newtork

new_network_id = s.call("network.create", sid, {:name_label => "Test Network", :name_description => "Testing - Please Delete Later", :other_config => {}})["Value"]

# Get New Network information

s.call("network.get_record", sid, new_network_id)

# Delete New Network

s.call("network.destroy", sid, new_network_id)

Hi Christian,

unfortunately I don’t have any other information on the error because I’m using XenAPI xml-rpc from C#, I imagine.

 

Anyway here’s the code snippet. Haven’t found any other thread on that, I’m coding quick and dirty to find out how to make it work (think that green lines could be optional).

 

System.Collections.Hashtable hash = new System.Collections.Hashtable();

            hash.Add("name_label", "br69");

            hash.Add("name_description", "br69");

            hash.Add("default_netmask", "255.255.255.0");

            hash.Add("default_gateway", "10.40.3.1");

            hash.Add("other_config", null);

            XenAPI.Network.create(_session, new XenAPI.Network(hash));

What parameters are you passing?

 

Typically, when you get an error from the server, it will have more information than you've given.  For instance, if you pass an unspecified attribute, it will tell you the attribute that is unspecified.

Hi,

I’m trying to create a new XenAPI.Network  but keep on receiving the error CREATE_UNSPECIFIED_ATTRIBUTE

My final goal is to create different Virtual Interfaces each of them on a different bridge and it seems to me that the only way Is to create a different Network for each bridge I want to use, am I right?

 

Sincerely,

Mauro
