Re-Deploying an EdgeGateway using RESTAPI


I am upgrading my lab from vCloud Director from 8.20 to 9.0. One of the tasks is to upgrade existing vShield Edge or Edge Gateway from 5.5.4 to 6.3.4.Although it's optional, anyhow we have to upgrade as we were moving from Isolated Port Group network backing to VXLNA backed Port Groups. As I always strive to find different ways to perform the same task, I came across this POSTMAN from which this task could also be initiated.Hereby attached is the screenshot along with how one can navigate to the edge gateway of an ORG.

As mentioned in the previous post, Login to vCD using POSTMAN you may get started following that.




Searched for ORGANIZATION named VIRTUAL SINGH, double-click on href.


Navigated to myVDC named VSINGH VDC.



Here navigating to ProviderVDC named GoldPvdc 

Finding the networking href for VDC


Finding the appropriate Edge Gateway

And Using POST method to Redploy the edge gateway.

Edge gateway redeploying initiated using REST API from Postman Client in vCloud Director.
