Description:

Clone a server. Returns the information about the newly created clone.

All of the optional fields are defaulted to the values on the original server if they aren't received. For cloning to a private parent, include the uniq_id of the parent server to be cloned to, along with the memory/diskspace/vcpu amounts (if different from the original).

Parameters:

URL:

https://api.liquidweb.com/v1/Storm/Server/create

Description:

Provision a new server. This fires off the build process, which does the actual provisioning of a new server on its parent. Each server consists of several distinct options:

	config_id: the id of the server configuration you wish to use.  For a list
	of available configs, see the storm/config/list API method

	template: templates are the LiquidWeb-provided server OS images.  For a list
	of available templates, see the storm/template/list API method

	image_id: rather that provisioning a LiquidWeb template, you can specify
	the id of a user-created image on your account.  Use the API method
	storm/image/list to find any existing images you have, or storm/image/create
	to create a new image from an existing server

	ip_count: the number of IPs you wish the server to have.  This defaults to
	1 IP, which is included in the base price.  Pricing for additional IPs can
	be found using the product/details API method.

	bandwidth_quota: the bandwidth plan you wish to use.  A quota of 0 indicates
	that you want as-you-go, usage-based bandwidth charges, but may not be
	permitted with all configs.  The remaining available quota options can be
	found with the product/details API method.

	backup_enabled: whether or not backups should be enabled.  Defaults to no.
	If this is not set to 1, neither of the following two options will be used.

	backup_plan: either 'quota' or 'daily', depending on whether you are
	choosing a quota-based backup plan or just a specific number of days to be
	backed up.

	backup_quota: for a 'daily' plan, this indicates the number of days to back
	up.  For a quota plan, this is the total number of GB to keep.  Available
	options are found with the product/details API method .

	public_ssh_key: optional public ssh key you want added to authorized_keys
	on your new server.  This should be a valid public ssh key, e.g. the contents
	of your id_rsa.pub file.

Beyond those options, we need the hostname of the server ('domain') and the root password you would like set on the server originally ('password').

More information about the returned data structure are found in the documentation for the storm/server/details method.

	active: a flag indicating whether the server has finished building

	backup_enabled: whether or not backups are enabled

	backup_plan: either 'quota' or 'daily', depending on which backup plan you
	have enabled.  If backups are not enabled, this field is empty.

	backup_quota: for a 'daily' plan, this indicates the number of days backed
	up. For a quota plan, this is the total number of GB of backups kept for
	this server. If backups are not enabled, this field is empty.

	backup_size: the number of GB your current backups are using

	bandwidth_quota: the number of GB of bandwidth included in your bill.
	O indicates as-you-go usage-based bandwidth.

	config_id: the id of the server configuration this server is using

	config_description: a more descriptive name for the server configuration
	assigned to this server. 'Storm 2GB', for example.

	create_date: the date and time when the server was created

	ip: the primary IP of the server

	ip_count: the number of IPs the server has assigned to it

	manage_level: 'self', 'core', or 'full', determined by which template you
	chose when creating the server

		self: Includes support for hardware, network and virtualization layers.

		core: Includes complete support of the base operating system as well as
		Apache, Mysql and PHP. Proactive service restoration is provided.

		full: Includes cPanel + Fantastico as well complete support of base

	template: which OS image you have installed.  Even when you create a server
	from an image, the original OS image is returned here.

	template_description: a more informative description of the OS you are using
	on this server.  'CentOS 5.5 64bit Core-Managed', for example.

URL:

https://api.liquidweb.com/v1/Storm/Server/resize

Description:

Resize a server to a new configuration. Available config_ids can be found in storm/config/list.

You will be billed for the prorated difference of the price of the new configuration compared to the price of your old configuration. The difference will be refunded or charged at your next billing date.

A server resize cannot cross zones.

When resizing to a larger configuration, the filesystem resize operation can be skipped by passing the 'skip_fs_resize' option. In this case, the storage associated with the new configuration is allocated, but not available immediately. The filesystem resize should be scheduled with the support team.

Skipping the filesystem resize is only possible when moving to a larger configuration. This option has no effect if moving to the same or smaller configuration.
