best way to query WWPN of all HBA
Answer
2/3/12 8:07 AM
Because I find it very boring (and I am lazy) to create aliases and zones for all HBA's of my server profiles in my MDS switch I would like to write a script to do it for me. I am just curious about the best way to do it. My approach is
- do a configResolveClass with inHierarchical="true" for all classes of lsServer add a filter to exclude the templates
- check which profiles have a childobject vnicFc (hence the inHierarchical="true")
- if they have a childobject vnicFc get all the details relevant for my zoning/aliases from it (and its child vnicFcIf)
 
I think the other way round is also possible
- get all configured VSAN on the UCS FI
- query vnicFcIf placed in that VSAN
- get the parent of the vnicFcIf to get the relevent addresses.
what should be the fastest/least impacting.
 
I also noticed something I nevert thought about. I would like to create an alias profilename-hba however the profilename can be the same as long as they are in two different organizations.

Eelco,

Yes, your first approach seems right. You can get the {wwpn,vsans} of all the HBAs using the Cisco UCS powertool 0.9.6.0

#Connect to the UCS system
PS C:\> Connect-Ucs <ucs1>

#Get wwpns of all the HBAs
PS C:\> Get-UcsServiceProfile -type instance | Get-UcsVhba | Get-UcsVhbaInterface | select Dn,Initiator,Vnet

Dn Initiator Vnet

<configResolveClass classId="lsServer" cookie="" inHierarchical="false"> </configResolveClass>
get all the DN's from above response
then for each 'dn' fire the below query-
1<configResolveClass classId="lsServer" cookie="" inHierarchical="false">
2    <inFilter>
3        <eq class="lsServer" property="dn" value="<dn_value>"/>
4    </inFilter>
5</configResolveClass>

Now use the below xpath to value of type 'attribute'
/configResolveClass/outConfigs/lsServer

if the 'type' is 'instance' then save the 'dn' in Service Profile list

Now foreach Service Profile 'dn' fire the below query-
1 <configResolveDn inHierarchical="true"
2    cookie=""
3     dn="org-root/ls-11" >
4</configResolveDn>

Now use the below xpath to get all the vNICFC (you will get the vNicFcEther Node List and blank incase there is no node available)
/configResolveDn/outConfig/lsServer/vnicFc

Now for each vNicFc Ether Node

search for "name" attribute to get the vNicFc Name
After then fetch the child nodes of this vnicFc
then for each child Node
get the child nodeName
if it is 'vnicFcIf'
then search for attribute 'initiator' whose value is the WWPN of a that vNIC FC

2/6/12 10:35 AM as a reply to Dilip panwar.
Why would you get first the DN and then get all the info for that while you can do it one query by doing a configResolveClass with a filter?
At the moment I have written all the Perl code to get all the relevant server info in a Perl XML object. I can retrieve everything I want but I was wonder if my approch would be the quickes/most efficient. When I am back at home I will post my queries to show how my script has been done.

BTW I think I will integrate it with a script which can instantiate profiles from templates. For some reason there are more options to create profiles with the XML interface that with the GUI.

Yeah, if we see from requirement view.. we can do that in a single query. Apart of it, if I am correct then there is only one XML API available to instantiate profiles from template.

the first and last one allows you to create profiles in line with your company naming conventions. The one in the GUI forces you to accept a number suffix even when creating a single profile.

As you said that there are multiple ways so thought i should confirm with template I am using.. :-)
I would prefer XML API as you are going to write scripts for same and XML API will be helpful for it and cmdlets are mainly preferred for manual use and if u r still willing to use cmdlets for writing scripts I guess you have to use 'Expect' for this purpose

Powershell is a scripting language based on .NET and is not platform independent. It's a tool written by Microsoft. Cisco has developed a PowerShell provider called Cisco UCS PowerTool, that is written to take advantage of Microsoft Powershell.

I do not have any issues generating the required XML I am just wondering what would be the best approach. Furthermore I don't think those cmdlets will run very well on my linux management station.

If you are a linux user, you should look at goUCS.  We are about to release goUCS for Linux.  I can send you a copy of a release candidate we have on linux, if you would like to try it out.  Email me at goucs@cisco.com
