Using the HP Helion Cloud Compute provider

Creating a client is straight-forward:

  var HPCompute = pkgcloud.compute.createClient({
    provider: 'hp',
    username: 'your-user-name',
    apiKey: 'your-api-key',
    region: 'region of identity service',
    authUrl: 'https://your-identity-service'
  });

Volume Attachments

Attaching a volume to a compute instance requires using a HP compute client, as well as possessing a volume or volumeId. Detaching volumes behaves the same way.

client.getVolumeAttachments(server, callback)

Gets an array of volumeAttachments for the provided server.

f(err, volumeAttachments)

client.getVolumeAttachmentDetails(server, attachment, callback)

Gets the details for a provided server and attachment. attachment may either be the attachmentId or an object with attachmentId as a property.

f(err, volumeAttachment)

client.attachVolume(server, volume, callback)

Attaches the provided volume to the server. volume may either be the volumeId or an instance of Volume.

f(err, volumeAttachment)

client.detachVolume(server, attachment, callback)

Detaches the provided attachment from the server. attachment may either be the attachmentId or an object with attachmentId as a property. If the volume is mounted this call will return an err.

f(err)
