REST API workflows to create and modify resource groups
To perform create and modify resource group operations using the SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere REST APIs, you must follow the prescribed sequence of REST API calls.
For each REST API, add https://<server>:<port> at the front of the REST API to form a complete endpoint.
To create resource groups, follow this workflow:
| Step |

/4.1/policies
|
Get Policies gets the list of VMware vSphere client policies.
Note the policyId that you want to use when creating the resource group and the policy frequency.
If no policies are listed, then use the Create Policy REST API to create a new policy.
|

/4.1/resource-groups

Create a Resource Group creates a resource group with the specified policy.
Pass the policyId from Step 1 and enter the policy frequency details in addition to all other required attributes.
