The following code allows you to reload a Bare Metal server with a custom partitioning scheme. You simply need to change the serverId and the partitions to suit your needs. Note that one partition must be marked as the ‘grow’ partition.
require 'softlayer_api' require 'pp' client = SoftLayer::Client.new(:timeout => 120) server_id = 1154505 config = { 'upgradeHardDriveFirmware' => 0, 'upgradeBios' => 0, 'hardDrives' => [ { 'complexType' => "SoftLayer_Hardware_Component_HardDrive", 'partitions' => [ { 'name' => { "/" => { "minimumSize" => "100"} } }, { 'name' => { "/boot" => { "minimumSize" => ".25" } } }, { 'name' => { "/swap0" => { "minimumSize" => "32"} } }, { 'name' => { "/tmp" => { "minimumSize" => "100"} } }, { 'name' => { "/var" => { "minimumSize" => "100"} } }, { 'name' => { "/remove" => { "minimumSize" => "1", "grow" => "1" } } } ] } ] } setclient = client['Hardware_Server'] reload = setclient.object_with_id(server_id).reloadOperatingSystem('FORCE', config) pp reload
