I'm able to read blade information via XML API and also to associate service profile to a blade server. But till now I did not find a way to start, stop and reboot the blade server via XML API. Could anyone point me to the correct XML command to start, stop and reboot a blade server. Many thanks in advance Helmut

Mark as an Answer Submit Reply with Quote Quick Reply Helmut, easiest way to find the required XML is to start wireshark and capture all the data and filter the XML out of it. When you actualy perform those actions. I suppose you can do this as well with the emulator.

Mark as an Answer Submit Reply with Quote Quick Reply Hi Helmut, I know you are specifically looking for help on this with XML. I just wanted to offer that there are a couple of other tools you can use to manage UCS. Like you I initially started with the XML API, but then I discovered the UCS PowerTool which is a powershell interface. Another option is GoUCS which I believe is more of a java centric approach. With the Powertool starting a service profile is as simple as: Get-UcsServiceProfile -Name esxhost01 \| Set-UcsServerPower -State "admin-up" -Force Sage

Mark as an Answer Submit Reply with Quote Quick Reply Hi Sage Unfortunately the only interface option is the XML API. So if someone knows the XML to use, that would really help. Many thanks for the answers till now! Helmut

Mark as an Answer Submit Reply with Quote Quick Reply Hello Helmut, Try this out. For Power on : <lsPower><dn=""org-root/ls-testSP/power" state="up"></lsPower> Where testSP is the name of service profile. For Power off : <lsPower><dn=""org-root/ls-testSP/power" state="soft-shut-down"></lsPower> In case you do not have any service profile associated to your blade, you need to do hard reset : <computeBlade><adminPower=”hard-reset-immediate” dn=”sys/chassis-1/server-1” lc=”undiscovered”></computeBlade> Thanks, Purvi From: Cisco Developer Community Forums [mailto:cdicuser@developer.cisco.com] Sent: Monday, October 08, 2012 8:44 AM To: cdicuser@developer.cisco.com Subject: New Message from Helmut Pfeiler in Unified Computing UCS Manager - Technical Discussions: RE: How to start, stop, reboot a Blade Server via XML API Helmut Pfeiler has created a new message in the forum "Technical Discussions": -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Sage Unfortunately the only interface option is the XML API.
