In this post I will demonstrate how to redeploy edge gateway in vCloud Director using Rest API
Disclaimer: This is not any fancy post and I am going to perform very simple task here. Most of you may be already aware of this. This post is for those who are new to API and also a reference post for me for future.
Lets get started.
We have to follow below steps for redeploying an edge gateway using API calls
Step 1: Generate Auth Token
# curl -sik -H “Accept:application/*+xml;version=5.6” -u “admin@system” -X POST https://vcd-b.alex.local/api/sessions | grep auth
Enter host password for user ‘admin@system’:
x-vcloud-authorization: 3fc8a5425f804c9d94eeff04e0272ed7
Step 2: Get Org UUID
# curl -sik -H “Accept:application/*+xml;version=5.6” -H “x-vcloud-authorization:3fc8a5425f804c9d94eeff04e0272ed7” -X GET https://vcd-a.alex.local/api/org/

Step 3: Get vDC UUID
# curl -sik -H “Accept:application/*+xml;version=5.6” -H “x-vcloud-authorization:3fc8a5425f804c9d94eeff04e0272ed7” -X GET https://vcd-a.alex.local/api/org/58d92de4-4aa5-4a14-9b39-28e1de5e9809… Read More
