how to create block storage using softlayer api

Question

I tried to create a performance block storage using python lib, but the response shows "Price does not have an id", what's the problem, am I missed any parameters. This is the code to submit the request.

orderData = {
            "complexType": "Container_Product_Order_Network_PerformanceStorage_Iscsi",
            "packageId": 222,
            "location": 154820,
            "quantity": 1,
            "prices": [
                {
                    "id": 40678           
                },
                {
                    "id": space_id
                },
                {
                    "id": 40798
                },
            ],
            "osFormatType": {'createDate': '', 'keyName': 'LINUX', 'description': 'Use if your host operating system is Linux.', 'name': 'Linux', 'id': 12}
        }
response = productOrderService.verifyOrder(orderData)

I've list all prices for performance storage using python code, just list part info:

************PACKAGE: Pkg Id: 222 OPTIONAL CATEGORY:
----name: Surcharges Cat Id: 315 Item Price id:32082 Description: International Services LocGrp Id: none OPTIONAL CATEGORY:
----name: Performance Storage NFS Cat Id: 378 Item Price id:40668 Description: File Storage (Performance) LocGrp Id: none OPTIONAL CATEGORY:
----name: Storage Replication Cat Id: 388 OPTIONAL CATEGORY:
----name: Performance Storage iSCSI Cat Id: 380 Item Price id:40678 Description: Block Storage (Performance) LocGrp Id: none REQUIRED CATEGORY:
----name: Storage Space Cat Id: 382 Item Price id:82389 Description: 40 GB Storage Space LocGrp Id: 509 Item Price id:82395 Description: 80 GB Storage Space LocGrp Id: 505 Item Price id:90579 Description: 4000 GB Storage Space LocGrp Id: 545 Item Price id:90583 Description: 12000 GB Storage Space LocGrp Id: 505 Item Price id:90585 Description: 12000 GB Storage Space LocGrp Id: 507 Item Price id:90589 Description: 12000 GB Storage Space LocGrp Id: 545

Also I checked other links: How to fetch LocationID, Storage Package ID, Storage Size ID and SnapShot Space Size ID for placing order in Endurance Storage API for Performance and Endurance storage(Block storage) Not too much help info found. Anyone can help to check the issue, thanks in advance.

The complexType that you are using is not valid, you need to use this:

"complexType": "SoftLayer_Container_Product_Order_Network_PerformanceStorage_Iscsi"

Here an example of orderData that I used:

orderData = {
             "complexType": "SoftLayer_Container_Product_Order_Network_PerformanceStorage_Iscsi",
            "packageId": 222,
            "location": 154820,
            "quantity": 1,
            "prices": [
                {
                    "id": 40678           
                },
                {
                    "id": 40688
                },
                {
                    "id": 40798
                }
            ],
            "osFormatType": { 
                "keyName": "LINUX",
                "complexType": "SoftLayer_Network_Storage_Iscsi_OS_Type"

            }
          }

Regards

I can provision the performance storage after modified the file as you suggested, thanks a lot — fleix_li, Dec 19 '16 at 10:54
