原命令失效后，如何通过SoftLayer API获取VM实例的root密码？

Hey there! I’ve dealt with similar API shift headaches before, so let me break down the solution for you.

After the API update rolled out on May 1st, 2018, the psl vs detail --passwords command stopped including password fields in its output. Instead, you’ll need to use a dedicated command built specifically for fetching the root password of your VM instance.

Here’s the command you should use now:

psl instance get-root-password --instance-id <your-vm-instance-id>

A few key notes to keep in mind:

• Replace <your-vm-instance-id> with the actual ID of your target VM instance.
• Ensure your account has the necessary permissions to execute this password-retrieval command.
• If your VM was set up with a key pair, you might need to use that key pair to decrypt the returned password (this depends on your cloud provider’s specific configuration).

If you want to double-check the syntax or explore related commands, run psl instance --help to see all available instance management operations.
