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.

iSCSI boot using the initiator pool; powertool script not running
Answer
11/13/12 7:04 PM
All, 
I am trying to create a service profile with iscsi boot vnics that use the iscsi-initiator-pool. I used convertto-ucscmdlet to generate a script while performing the tasks manually. The resulting script gave an error "

WARNING: Attempt to set non-existent property 'IdentPoolName' in class 'VnicIPv4If'.
WARNING: Attempt to set non-existent property 'IdentPoolName' in class 'VnicIPv4If'.
Complete-UcsTransaction : ucsm:XML PARSING ERROR: unknown attribute 'identPoolName' in element 'vnicIPv4If'

Sounds like the version I'm using doesn't have this property written in. 
Any idea how I can script this?

RE: iSCSI boot using the initiator pool; powertool script not running
Answer

John,
We have spotted a change that needs to be done in ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet to set this right.
The issue is with the below cmdlet in the set. There is caused because of a missing 'Set' Verb for an MO. 
$mo_8_1_2_1 = $mo_8_1_2 | Set-UcsManagedObject -PropertyMap @{IdentPoolName="iscsi-initiator-pool"; }
 
A fix would be available in 0.9.11.0
 
Thanks,
Vijay Vikrant Balyan
