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.

UCS API response - extIp not specified for one of the switches
Answer
8/2/12 3:43 PM
Hi, we have problem when monitoring UCS device through UCS API. The extIP for one of the switches is empty. The configuration screens are attached.
 
Response looks like this:
<mgmtIf access="out-of-band" adminState="enable" chassisId="N/A" discovery="absent" dn="sys/switch-A/mgmt/if-1" epDn="" extBroadcast="0.0.0.0" extGw="0.0.0.0" extIp="0.0.0.0" extMask="0.0.0.0" fsmDescr="" fsmPrev="nop" fsmProgr="100" fsmRmtInvErrCode="none" fsmRmtInvErrDescr="" fsmRmtInvRslt="" fsmStageDescr="" fsmStamp="never" fsmStatus="nop" fsmTry="0" id="1" ifRole="unknown" ifType="physical" ip="xxx.xxx.xxx.1" locale="" mac="00:00:00:00:00:00" mask="255.255.0.0" name="" peerChassisId="N/A" peerDn="" peerPortId="0" peerSlotId="0" portId="0" slotId="0" stateQual="unspecified" subject="switch" switchId="A" transport="" type="" vnet="1"/>

<mgmtIf access="out-of-band" adminState="enable" chassisId="N/A" discovery="absent" dn="sys/switch-B/mgmt/if-1" epDn="" extBroadcast="0.0.0.0" extGw="xxx.xxx.xxx.1" extIp="xxx.xxx.xxx.252" extMask="255.255.255.0" fsmDescr="" fsmPrev="SwMgmtOobIfConfigSuccess" fsmProgr="100" fsmRmtInvErrCode="none" fsmRmtInvErrDescr="" fsmRmtInvRslt="" fsmStageDescr="" fsmStamp="2011-02-16T13:35:40.889" fsmStatus="nop" fsmTry="0" id="1" ifRole="unknown" ifType="physical" ip="xxx.xxx.xxx.2" locale="" mac="00:00:00:00:00:00" mask="255.255.0.0" name="" peerChassisId="N/A" peerDn="" peerPortId="0" peerSlotId="0" portId="0" slotId="0" stateQual="unspecified" subject="switch" switchId="B" transport="" type="" vnet="1"/>

Can somebody explain why the extIP is not filled for the first element?
Thanks

I'm experiencing similar issue but I can not see any confirmation from vendor (Cisco). Anybody looking at this issue?

Thanks Mariusz, that thread is more about correct setup.
Anyway, my problem is, that UCS API itself is not returning what I have set and what I can see in the UCS manager.
I have attached XML portion of what UCS returns, and what is configured, shown in both KVM and manager.

Please notify mgmtIf elements:
switch-A/mgmt/if-1 returns extIp="0.0.0.0"
switch-B/mgmt/if-1 returns extIp="xxx.xxx.xxx.252

Why is the API not returning proper extIp for both switches ? It seems to me like a bug in the API. Can I create a case for this issue ?

thank you,
Martin
