I would like to announce the general availability of goUCS version 2.0 on Cisco Developer Network. A lot of time and effort has been put into the newest goUCS release, with some of the main features being detailed below.

 

Lest anyone thinks I have forgotten about my blogging on the UCS API, I have not, but I have written a blog recently for the Data Center blog and it is applicable to the UCS so I thought I would share the link here along with the blog into.

Early in my career I moved quite a bit, new job, growing family, whatever the reason it seemed like every two or three years we were packing up and going to a new place and meeting our new neighbors.

Compatibility between XML API for UCS 1.4 and UCS 2.0
Answer
7/11/12 9:44 PM
Hi there,
 
I have a service profile created on UCS 2.0. I want to push the same configuration of Service Profile on UCS 1.4. With XML API and schema validation enabled, I can push 1.4 Service profile config to UCS 2.0 but cannot push 2.0 Service profile to 1.4 because schema validation fails since UCS 2.0 Service profile has extra tags which are not present in 1.4 Service profile schema. And this is with just basic configuration where all the properties of Service Profile exists in both 1.4 and 2.0 version.
 
Is there any way to ensure this kind of backward compatibility ?
 
Thanks,
Purvi

As of now there is no solution for your problem. However you can do it by editing the configuration file manually(removing those extra tags). emoticon

Purvi,

You can user PowerTool's Compare-UcsManagedObject & Sync-UcsManagedObject to achieve this.

These cmdlets use the schema data to filter out inapplicable MOs and properties when a MO is copied from one system to another. You need to be certain about the semantics of such filtering, before you apply these changes.

Unfortunately no.

In earlier versions of UCS we used to be “forgiving” of unknown attributes and managed objects. Not anymore.
