UCS Service Profile Template creation http://developer.cisco.com/c/message_boards/find_thread?p_l_id=&threadId=12712919 2013-05-23T03:14:15Z 2013-05-23T03:14:15Z Eric Williams http://developer.cisco.com/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=12722390 2013-03-06T23:03:31Z 2013-03-06T23:03:31Z

[quote=Neville George]Fantastic. This is great. I used the Add-UcsServiceProfile previously for creating Service Profiles from template but glad to know that it will suffice for the templates too.  The Convertto-UCSCmdlet is great but I cannot find which QuickStart guide you are referring to. I found the Powertool User Guid at the following link (http://developer.cisco.com/web/unifiedcomputing/pshell-download) but it did not mention anything on how to get it working successfully.  I tried copying XML from the GUI to a file and running ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet -Xml –LiteralPath "$outputFilePath\1.xml" It completed successfully with the output (WARNING: Please review the generated cmdlets before deployment) but there were no cmdlets in the output. Could you point me to the Quick start guide? Or if there is anything obvious I am missing. [/quote]   Neville: WHen would you be available to have a webex, as it might be easiest to help you that way.  Feel free to reach out to me directly at ericwill@cisco.com Thanks, Eric

I tried a simple script ############ $invocation = (Get-Variable MyInvocation).Value $outputFilePath = Split-Path $invocation.MyCommand.Path ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet -Xml -Request ' <orgOrg childAction="deleteNonPresent" descr="" dn="org-root/org-Test" fltAggr="0" level="1" name="Test"  > <powerPolicy childAction="deleteNonPresent" descr=""  intId="486088" name="default" operPrio="5" prio="5" rn="power-policy-default" /> <statsThresholdPolicy childAction="deleteNonPresent" descr=""  intId="486087" name="default" rn="thr-policy-default" /> </orgOrg>' ############ Output is just the below with nothing else: WARNING: Please review the generated cmdlets before deployment.

Neville, The cmdlet is: Add-UcsServiceProfile –Type initial-template <other parameters> Or: Add-UcsServiceProfile –Type updating-template <other parameters> When in doubt, please use the ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet cmdlet to dump GUI operations as cmdlets. Please ensure that you follow the process outlined in the QuickStart guide when launching the GUI, when used with this cmdlet.
