How Can I Obtain board_type of a BMS Flavor?

Symptom

The public images supported by BMSs vary depending on BMS flavors. You can view the public images supported by each flavor on the management console or using the Querying Images API. When you use the API to query for the public images supported by a BMS flavor, you need to enter board_type of the flavor. This section describes how to obtain the value of board_type.

Solution

The format of a BMS flavor is physical.AB.C, for example, physical.s1.large.

In the flavor format:

• A specifies the BMS type. For example, s indicates a general-purpose BMS, c a computing BMS, and m a memory-optimized BMS.
• B specifies the BMS serial number. For example, 1 in s1 indicates the first generation of general-purpose BMSs.
• C specifies the flavor size, such as medium, large, or xlarge.

Use AB+First one or more letters of C as the value of board_type. For example, if the flavor is physical.s1.large, board_type is s1l. For board_type of more flavors, see Table 1.
