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

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.
