InitializeDisks

POST

Reinitialize the cloud disks. Note the following when reinitializing the cloud disks:.

Wire call

Converge Cloud is RPC over HTTP. There is one path — / — and the action travels in the X-TC-Action header. The /cbs/InitializeDisks path used in the OpenAPI document is a documentation convenience so each action is addressable; it is not a route on the server.

curl
curl -sS https://cbs.api3.convergecloud.com/ \
  -H 'Authorization: TC3-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=<SecretId>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/cbs/tc3_request, SignedHeaders=content-type;host;x-tc-action, Signature=<sig>' \

Request parameters

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
DiskIdsstring[]YesID list of the cloud disks to be reinitialized. Up to 20 disks can be reinitialized at a time.

Response

Fields are returned inside the Response envelope. Converge Cloud answers HTTP 200 for errors as well as successes, so read Response.Error rather than the status code — and test for the presence of that object, because Code is occasionally the empty string.

FieldTypeDescription
RequestIdstringThe unique request ID, which is returned for each request. RequestId is required for locating a problem.
Success
{
  "Response": {
    // action-specific fields,
    "RequestId": "…"
  }
}
Error
{
  "Response": {
    "Error": { "Code": "…", "Message": "…" },
    "RequestId": "…"
  }
}
