Defined in:
lib/softlayer/BareMetalServerOrder.rb

Overview

This class allows you to order a Bare Metal Server by providing a simple set of attributes for the newly created server. The SoftLayer system will select a server that matches the attributes provided and provision it or will report an error.

If you wish to have more exacting control over the set of options that go into configuring the server, please see the BareMetalServerOrder_Package class.

This class creates the server with the SoftLayer_Hardware::createObject method.

sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Hardware/createObject

Reading that documentation may help you understand the options presented here.

Instance Method Details

#place_order!Object

Calls the SoftLayer API to place an order for a new server based on the template in this order. If this succeeds then you will be billed for the new server.

If you provide a block, it will receive the order template as a parameter and the block may make changes to the template before it is submitted.

  order_template = hardware_instance_template
  order_template = yield order_template if block_given?

  server_hash = @softlayer_client[:Hardware].createObject(order_template)
  return server_hash
end

#verifyObject

Calls the SoftLayer API to verify that the template provided by this order is valid This routine will return the order template generated by the API or will throw an exception

This routine will not actually create a Bare Metal Instance and will not affect billing.

If you provide a block, it will receive the order template as a parameter and the block may make changes to the template before it is submitted.
