Procedure 3.8. Performing an Action on a Sub-Resource

  1. Declare an instance of the resource containing the sub-resource on which the action is to be performed: 
    VM vm = api.getVMs().get("test");
  2. Declare an instance of the sub-resource: 
    VMDisk disk = vm.getDisks().get("test_Disk1");
  3. Declare action parameters to send to the sub-resource: 
    Action actionParam = new Action();
  4. Perform the action: 
    Action result = disk.activate(actionParam);
