Ordering

The Order cli commands can be used to build an order for any product in the SoftLayer catalog.

The basic flow for ordering goes something like this...

  1. package-list
  2. category-list <package key name>
  3. item-list <package key name>
  4. place <package key name> <item key names> <location>

SoftLayer.CLI.order.package_list:cli

Note

* CLOUD_SERVER: These are Virtual Servers * BARE_METAL_INSTANCE: Hourly Bare Metal * BARE_METAL_SERVER: Other monthly server types * `#_PROC#_DRIVES`: Packages in this format will contain only this CPU model and Drive bays * ADDITIONAL_PRODUCTS: Additional IPs, Vlans, SSL certs and other things are in here * NETWORK_GATEWAY_APPLIANCE: Vyattas

Bluemix services listed here may still need to be ordered through the Bluemix CLI/Portal

SoftLayer.CLI.order.package_locations:cli

SoftLayer.CLI.order.category_list:cli

Shows all the available categories for a certain package, useful in finding the required categories. Categories that are required will need to have a corresponding item included with any orders

These are all the required categories for BARE_METAL_SERVER :

$ slcli order category-list BARE_METAL_SERVER
:........................................:.......................:............:

Now that you have the package you want, the prices needed, and found a location, it is time to place an order.
