I’m using subclient ID to add a VM to a subclient.  I can’t find and example for this.  Does this json template from here actually work?

 https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/essential/49184_rest_api_post_subclient_properties.html

I keep getting 400 Bad Request

https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/essential/assets/features/rest_api/JSON/update_subclient_vm_template.json

{    "newName": "",    "subClientProperties": {        "vmContent": {        },        "vsaSubclientProp": {            "useChangedTrackingOnVM": ,            "quiesceGuestFileSystemAndApplications": ,            "datastoreFreespaceCheck": ,            "datastoreFreespaceRequired": ,            "collectFileDetailsForSnap": ,            "collectFileDetails":         }    },    "association": {        "entity": t{            "clientName": "",            "subclientName": "",            "backupsetName": "",            "instanceName": "",            "appName": "Virtual Server"        }]    }}

Navneet Singh, thankyou this really helped, its working now

@G2T 

400 error which means there is something wrong with the body information. You can use the below JSON body and try adding the VM to the Subclient.

 

{
    "subClientProperties": {
        "subClientEntity": {
            "clientName": "pcpctchvcen01.cloud.cris.in",
            "appName": "Virtual Server",
            "backupsetName": "XXXX",
            "subclientName": "test-3"
        },
        "vmContentOperationType": "ADD",
        "vmContent": {
            "children": "
                {
        "equalsOrNotEquals": true,
        "displayName": "XXXX",
        "allOrAnyChildren": true,
        "description": "",
        "type": "VM",
        "path": "XXXX",
        "name": "XXXXXX"
                }
            ]
        },
        "commonProperties": {
            "storageDevice": {
                "dataBackupStoragePolicy": {
                    "storagePolicyName": "XXXXX"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

 

Also you can follow Api.commvault.com DOC page and look for the sample request and reponse.

On bad request, you may find additional info in webserver.log when you execute the REST request as to why you are getting error 400.
