• allowAccessToNetworkStorageList
  This method is used to allow access to multiple SoftLayer_Network_Storage volumes that support host- or network-level access control.
• attachDiskImage
  Creates a transaction to attach a guest's disk image. If the disk image is already attached it will be ignored. WARNING: SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest::checkHostDiskAvailability should be called before this method. If the SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest::checkHostDiskAvailability method is not called before this method, the guest migration will happen automatically.
• cancelIsolationForDestructiveAction
