Adding updating parameter to add-VhbaTemplate and add-VnicTemplate
Answer
10/6/11 5:33 PM
Hi There;
 
It doesn't appear that the applets have implemented the Type parameter for updating (vs static) for add-vhbaTemplate and add-vnicTemplate? I do see this parameter implemented for Add-SPTemplate.
 
Am I missing something? Any suggestions (and syntax) for an alternate method of setting this parameter ie through Invoke-XMLCommand perhaps?
 
Thanks;

Hi Sash,
 
You are not missing anything, the vnic and vhba template types are not settable with the template cmdlets.  Hope to work around that is covered in this thread http://developer.cisco.com/web/unifiedcomputing/forums/-/message_boards/view_message/4452902
 
It would involve, as you guessed, Invoke-XxmlCommand
 
Regards

Thanks very much John! Using your example from the other post I was able to update this with the Invoke-XxmlCommand perfectly.

In my case I was changing the templType for a VhbaTemplate and used the following string. This is for an environment in which I am working in a SubOrg named TEST.

Invoke-XmlCommand -XMLStringList "<configConfMo cookie='1317944386/8fd00780-dcc0-4375-8fb6-ce31f32c7315'><inConfig><vnicSanConnTempl dn='org-root/org-TEST/san-conn-templ-TEST_vHBA_FABA' templType='updating-template' status='modified'/></inConfig></configConfMo>"


You help is much appreciated!

As a follow up to this, the latest power shell toolkit, you can make vNIC and vHBA templates updating right from the Add- cmdlet:

Add-UcsVhbaTemplate -Name "vHBA-A1" -IdentPoolName $wwpnPoolName -MaxDataFieldSize 2048 -SwitchId A -TemplType updating-template -Org org-root

Add-UcsVnicTemplate -Name "vNIC-A1" -IdentPoolName $macPool -NwCtrlPolicyName $netConPol -SwitchId A -TemplType updating-template -Org org-root
