Softlayer service call to “getSnapshotPercentage” is failing

问题

I wrote the following logic to get the Snapshot Percentage, and am getting the below error. NOTE, I have tried this with both the Network_Storage, and Network_Storage_Iscsi and am seeing the same response for both cases. Is there a workaround or is this a bug?

def get_snapshot_space(sl_config, iscsi_identifier):
    """ get the total number of Snapshot Space remaining"""
    snapshot_percentage = SL.instance(sl_config).net.getSnapshotPercentage(id=iscsi_identifier);
    print "Snapshot Space Used: \% %s " % snapshot_space;

ERROR:

 snapshot_percentage = SL.instance(sl_config).net.getSnapshotPercentage(id=iscsi_identifier);

SoftLayer.exceptions.SoftLayerAPIError: SoftLayerAPIError(Client): Function ("getSnapshotPercentage") is not a valid method for this service

Also, I have noticed that on the softLayer Portal, the representation of the percentage is incorrect sometimes? It's been well over an hour since I have cleared all snapshots.

回答1:

The method is currently deprecated so you could use an object mask to retrieve the bytesUsed and snapshotCapacityGb attributes.

The next script generates the snapshot space available that's displayed in the UI portal.

"""
Retrieves snapshot space.

See below references for more details.

import SoftLayer

USERNAME = 'set me'

client = SoftLayer.create_client_from_env(username=USERNAME, api_key=API_KEY)
networkStorageService = client['SoftLayer_Network_Storage']

iscsiStorageId = 1234567
objectMask = 'mask[snapshotCapacityGb,snapshots[bytesUsed,snapshotSizeBytes,snapshotSpaceAvailable]]'

try:
    storage = networkStorageService.getObject(mask=objectMask, id=iscsiStorageId)
    capacity = long(float(storage['snapshotCapacityGb'])) * 1e+9
    used_space = 0
    for child in storage['snapshots']:
        used_space = used_space + long(float(child['snapshotSizeBytes']))
    snapshot_space = (capacity - used_space) / 1e+9    
    print snapshot_space   
except SoftLayer.SoftLayerAPIError as e:
    print('Failed ... faultCode=%s, faultString=%s'
        % (e.faultCode, e.faultString))

Regarding the snapshot space representation in the UI, it's updated each hour more or less.

I hope this could help you.
