Hi-
 
Greetings!
 
I am tryinig to automate the login with ucs. I have downloaded & instaleld the UCS simulator & goucs 2.0. I am able to login via the Browser using the IP & login ID.
However, when I tried to fire the following Powershell script, it gives the following error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Import-Module 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco UCS PowerTool\Modules\CiscoUcsPS\CiscoUcsPS.psd1'
$user = "config"
$password = "xxxxx" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object system.Management.Automation.PSCredential($user, $password)
$handle1 = Connect-Ucs 192.168.10.130 -NotDefault -Credential $cred
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error:
Connect-Ucs : Connect-Ucs: Connection to 192.168.10.130 Failed.
At line:1 char:23
+ $handle1 = Connect-Ucs <<<<  192.168.10.130 -NotDefault -Credential $cred
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (emoticon [Connect-Ucs], Exception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Cisco.Ucs.Cmdlets.ConnectUcs
Any pointers or suggenstions would be very much helpful.
 
Thank You

Murali,

The usage is correct.

PS C:\> $user = "admin"
PS C:\> $password = "xxxxxx" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
PS C:\> $cred = New-Object system.Management.Automation.PSCredential($user, $password)
PS C:\> $handle1 = Connect-Ucs ucs-pod01 -NotDefault -Credential $cred
PS C:\> $handle1

Can you check with the Uri ? Also check with the -Xml option to see what the error is. Let us know if you continue to have issues.
