SoftLayer_Scale_Group

Description

A scale group can contain a number of guest members which can fluctuate up and down, staying within a defined range, manually or automatically based on policies given. Groups are set of VLANs to be placed behind. Groups can also have static hardware/guests pinned to the group. These static resources can be used to effect things like moving averages for policy triggers but are not counted as group members and are not subject to automatic reclaim.

Methods

createObject
Create a scale group.
deleteObject
Delete this group. This can only be done on an empty, active group.

getNetworkVlans
Retrieve collection of VLANs for this auto scale group. VLANs are optional. This can contain a public or private VLAN or both. When a single VLAN for a public/private type is given it can be a non-purchased VLAN only if the minimumMemberCount on the group is >= 1. This can also contain any number of public/private purchased VLANs and members are staggered across them when scaled up.
