Next Availale VMID and Available Templates through API

[telemagic]

Hi Guys

I am in the middle of having a module written for WHMCS to allow the automatic creation of Proxmox OpenVZ VM's however I am stuck on 2 issues.

I have banged my head against the API documentation and cannot work it out.

Firstly
How do I query the API to give me the next available VMID to assign the the VM?

and secondly
How do I get a list of available Templates?

Any help or pointers would be very much appreciated.

Regards

Firstly
How do I query the API to give me the next available VMID to assign the the VM?

Try:

# pvesh help -v /cluster/nextid

So the following should do the job:

# pvesh get /cluster/nextid

and secondly
How do I get a list of available Templates?

# pvesh get /cluster/resources -type vm

There is a template flag set (for qemu templates).

Hi

Thanks for the pointers Dietmar.

The nextid is exactly what im looking for.

The resources -type vm is just giving me a list of all VMs currently on the cluster.

I am looking for a way to pull the list of available templates for Container creation. Effectively an array of the contents of /var/lib/vz/template/cache
