Hi,
I was trying to help one of my customer to run an UCS XML command using the UCSPS module.  I am getting error when executing this following:
 
CS> Invoke-XmlCommand -XMLStringList "<configResolveClass cookie="1315342590/7f37c5b8-c85e-4ac4-b8c0-879e4094ccfb" classId="equipmentChassis"/>"
 
Just wondering if anyone tried to invke-xmlcommand. Please let me know..
 
Also, is there a way to set the type of the template in set-vnicTemplate or add-vnic-template?
 
Thanks,
Ravi

Ravi,

The problem with your command is you double quotes (") ends your string so the class type equipmentChassis isn't surrounded by quotes in the string passed to the XML. You can resolve this either by using an extra double quote when inside a string like ""equipmentChassis"" or by a single quote as Philip did in his example so just 'equipementChassis'. In my experience, you don't need to include the cookie when using the Invoke-XmlCommand cmdlet as it gets the cookie from the connection object.

I am not sure I understand what you saying when you are trying to set a vnic template type.

Thanks everyone for your valuable information. This will make my customer
very happy.
Thanks,
Ravi
