APIC API Error messages

[christian22]

Hi all,

I try to set ACI interface descriptions via ansible playbook. In general it works, but for one particular interface I get this error back:

"APIC Error 100: Validation failed: There is more than one override configuration for path: topology/pod-3/paths-2404/pathep-[eth1/59] Last examined: uni/infra/hpaths-__ui_l2404_eth1--59/rsHPathAtt-[topology/pod-3/paths-2404/pathep-[eth1/59]]",
"status": -1
}

I can set it on APIC CLI, and on neighbor interface Eth1/60, but not on this one ...

Does anybody know how to fix this? Or is there a list of error codes somewhere I haven't found yet?

Thank You for any ideas,

Christian

Hi @christian22 ,

Let me give you a word of advice (I've just cut and psted this from another answer I gave a few mins ago)

---

WARNING - do not ever use the CLI to create stuff in ACI

---

So the key to you problem is that you used the CLI.  I can tell that because I see an object with a double-underscore followed by ui__ui_l2404_eth1--59 in your output.

You'll find the answer about how to get rid of them on Daniel Pita's blog or my blog (Daniel had an error in his which I fixed, but I thnk he's updated it)

Hi RedNectar,

many thanks for your clear advice and the link. Indeed you have identified the root cause, and with the link I was able to fix it for one interface.

I was too anxious to delete all the __ui objects with the script yet, there is not much said if it could cause outages. For example: would it delete everything configured on CLI? Then I would rather not do it ...

Hi @christian22 ,

If you are concerned about what you might delete, just identify the __ui objects - that will probably give you an idea of whether you'll break anything. (but it may be too gobbledygook to determine)

Anyhow, this is harmless:

apic1# cd /mit/uni/infra
apic1# find *__ui*
