2.10. Adding Sub-Resources to a Resource

The following example outlines how to add sub-resources to a resource. In this example, a new disk with a size of '1073741824L', interface 'virtio' and format 'cow' are added to a virtual machine with the name 'test'.

Procedure 2.6. Adding a Sub-Resource to a Resource

  1. Declare an instance of the resource to which sub-resources are to be added: 
    VM vm = api.getVMs().get("test");
  2. Create parameters to define the attributes of the resource: 
    Disk diskParam = new Disk();
diskParam.setProvisionedSize(1073741824L);
diskParam.setInterface("virtio");
diskParam.setFormat("cow");
  3. Add the sub-resource: 
    Disk disk = vm.getDisks().add(diskParam);
