Hello everyone,
I wrote a script that does mass vlan provisoning using the UCS Powershell module. I noticed there isn't much script sharing around here so I thought I'd contribute. I've attached the script along with an example .csv to this post. I hope someone is able to find a use for it. Feel free to modify it to suite your needs and let me know if you have any comments or questions about it.
# This script requires the UCS PowerShell Module Found at: http://developer.cisco.com/web/unifiedcomputing/pshell-download
# Purpose: Auto-provisions VLANs for the UCS Environment
# Note: The Vlans are Added Globally and to all vNics
# Usage: ./Provision-Vlans.ps1 -UCSM (IP OR FQDN) -CSV (.csv)
# Written By: Philip Sautter
