ServiceOfferingInstance refresh request

Description

This API refreshes the ServiceOfferingInstance object specified by the identifier in the URI. It supports the refresh of single and multi-tier service offering instances on the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. The following properties are refreshed:

• CPU
• Memory
• Power state
• Operating system information
  
  The following constraints apply to this API:
• The virtual machine (VM) can be in any power state.
• The name of the VM should match the name used for the VM in BMC Service Automation and VMware vCenter Server.
• The network labels defined in the network resources section of the resource set in the service blueprint must match the labels for the network container and pod.
  
  The service offering instance refresh request has the following limitations:
• The request updates only attributes and does not update associations. It does not refresh VMs that have been moved to a different network container or VMware vCenter Server.
• The request does not refresh changes made to IP addresses or host names.
• The request does not update option choices.

• The request does not generate new contract lines.
  
  After a service offering instance refresh request finishes, you can obtain updated data for the refreshed properties. To obtain refreshed data for CPU, memory, and power state, send the following request:

  GET /csm/serviceofferinginstance/guid/functionalComponents/resourceSet/compute

  The response contains the URI of the associated operating system in the operatingSystem object. To obtain data for the operating system, use that URI in the following request:

  GET /csm/operatingsystem/guid
