iSCSI boot using the initiator pool; powertool script not running

2012-11-13T19:04:32Z

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' At C:\Users\johnken\Desktop\FlexPod Scripts\scripts\Add-IPMIAddresses.ps1:26 char:24 + Complete-UcsTransaction <<<< + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Complete-UcsTransaction], Exception + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 300,Cisco.Ucs.Cmdlets.CompleteUcsTransaction Sounds like the version I'm using doesn't have this property written in. Any idea how I can script this?

What's the command to assign a Service Profile to a Blade?

2011-06-01T00:56:18Z

For some reason, I can't determine exacly how to take the service profiles I have and attach/assign them to blades or server pools. Documentation isn't guiding me, and I can't seem to guess.
