How to get to which datacenter a network storage belongs to using SoftLayer Ruby API?

I'm using:

http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Account/getNetworkStorage

to get a list of all network storages.

But, in http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Network_Storage , I don't see a way to get the datacenter details to which the network storage belongs to.

But, 'slcli iscsi list' (for example) is showing 'datacenter' column.

How can I get the same via Ruby SoftLayer API?

You should use an object mask to get datacenter value

e.g.: mask[serviceResource[datacenter[name]]]

Also, you can try the following ruby script to get that kind of information

# Get Network Storage
#
# This script retrieves an account's associated storage volumes.

require 'rubygems'
require 'softlayer_api'
require 'pp'

# Declare your SoftLayer username and apiKey 
SL_API_USERNAME = 'set me'
SL_API_KEY = 'set me'

# Create the client
client = SoftLayer::Client.new(username: SL_API_USERNAME, api_key: SL_API_KEY)

# Define an object mask to get datacenter name
object_mask = 'mask[serviceResource[datacenter[name]]]'

begin
  storages = client['SoftLayer_Account'].object_mask(object_mask).getNetworkStorage
  print "+------------+---------------------------+------------+-----------------------+\n"
  print "| ID         | Datacenter                | Size       |  Username             |\n"
  print "+------------+---------------------------+------------+-----------------------+\n"
  storages.each do |storage|
      printf('| %-10s ', storage['id'])
      if storage['serviceResource'].has_key?('datacenter')
          datacenter = storage['serviceResource']['datacenter']['name']
      else
          datacenter = 'None'
      end
      printf('| %-25s ', datacenter)
      printf('| %-10s ', storage['capacityGb'])
      printf("| %-21s | \n", storage['username'])
      end
  rescue StandardError => exception
  puts "Error. : #{exception}"
end
