You could use an objectMask to retrieve additional information related to the object you are using. The next are some examples that might help you:
Method: GET
https://$username:[email protected]/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/$virtualGuestId/getObject?objectMask=mask[datacenter,blockDevices[diskImage[capacity,type[name],units]],networkStorage,allowedHost,allowedNetworkStorage[serviceResource[networkDevice[datacenter]],serviceResourceBackendIpAddress,storageType],allowedNetworkStorageReplicas,evaultNetworkStorage[serviceResource[networkDevice[datacenter]]]]
Method: POST
https://$username:[email protected]/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/$virtualGuestId/getAttachedNetworkStorages?objectMask=mask[id,username,capacityGb,nasType,notes,serviceResource[id,networkDevice[id,datacenter],type],storageType,storageTierLevel,replicationPartners[id,username,capacityGb,nasType,notes,serviceResource[id,networkDevice[id,datacenter],type],storageType,storageTierLevel,serviceResourceBackendIpAddress],serviceResourceBackendIpAddress]
Payload:
{
"parameters": ["*"]
}
Regarding to the Portable storages the only way to distinguish them is by calling the method SoftLayer_Account::getPortableStorageVolumes and apply a filter to the Virtual Guest id.
e.g.
Method: GET
https://$username:[email protected]/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getPortableStorageVolumes?objectFilter={"portableStorageVolumes":{"blockDevices":{"guest":{"id":{"operation":$virtualGuestId}}}}}
Note: Replace $username, $apiKey and $virtualGuestId with your information.
