I have to remove/Delete the VM from commvault using the Rest API

https://api.commvault.com/docs/api/cv/OpenAPI3/delete-virtual-machine

 

I have tried test running the api using python and I got the below mentioned error:

C:\Users\Ansible_user\Downloads>python vmdel.py WIN-C6TBRLJG6IM <commandcenter username> <commandcenter password

import requests
import urllib

#proxies={
	#'http':'http://10.***.***.***:8080',
	#'https':'http://10.***.***.***:8080'
#}
url = "https://win-c6tbrljg6im/commandcenter/api/V4/VirtualMachines/:<VM UUID>"

payload={}
headers = {
  'Accept': 'application/json',
  'Authtoken': '*******'
}

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload, proxies=urllib.request.getproxies())

print(response.text)

@RandomCustomer,

Looks like either the client win-c6tbrljg6im is not reachable from where you are running the command, or our webserver package is not installed on this client.

Which webserver package could be missing ? The backup is running fine though(FYI)

@RandomCustomer,

Webserver package is not required for backups. To see if this is installed right click on the client in Commcell Console select view Software. The webserver package is by default installed on the commserve. So if you change the url to point to the commserve it should then work.

 

Reqards,

Edward J Holowienka

 

I tried to install the software. Commserve has internet connectivity so I downloaded the softwares. I received below error message:
Error Code: "68:182]
Description: Failed to install Base Package. Failed to access remote registry. For more information, visit t https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=1971.htm]]
Source: win-c6tbrljg6im, Process: DistributeSoftware

 

This is fixed. The UUID I was taking directly from the VM server was incorrect.

I ran the GET method on VMs from commserv to get all the details and there was a different UUID which worked and api call finally happened.
