476 In this article, we are providing sample work flows for the private cloud management solution. In our topology, ACI is used for network. We have the placed the BMA in the L3 network. The UCS servers are connected to the leaf of the ACI and storage device is connected with the UCSM FI. We have used the NetApp and VNX storage arrays in this topology. The idea is to give the WF to manage private cloud deployment using the existing UCSD tasks, starting from APIC tenant creation, Server reservation, Bare Metal Provisioning, Creating the Datacenter, Creating Cluster and adding the created host to the cluster. We have used the basic variations in the infra provisioning like SAN Boot and Local Boot.  UCSD Integration Work Flow Examples MGT

Is this ACI related?

Custom task are written in Java script and are under Policies -> Orchestration -> Custom Workflow Tasks. 

You can open(Edit) up any of the existing tasks to see how they are coded.

We have lots of ACI workflows on the community site.

You could import those workflows and see the tasks used and the custom tasks created for inspiration.

There is also a bundle of custom tasks #200 on the community site with 126 inspirational examples.

You can create a new workflow and insert the "execute network device CLI" task. From there you can put the same commands in that you would enter in the NXOS cli.

Hi All,

How do we create a workflow task?

I am trying to create a task to do FC zoning based on flogi parameter that is found on 'show flogi database'

Orf Gelbrich

you can use the MDS/Brocade zoning tasks or you could use a network CLI command.  As to the flogi DB if the information does show in a UCSD screen then you can use a report (check VLAN/Check UCSM VLAN) to derive the information. Item #123 on the index does also derive information from the port group screen in UCSD.

Hello Everyone,

First I want to thank you all for the great custom tasks and workflows submitted here.

I have a question and I am wondering if anybody can help me out.

Is there any way in UCSD to use outputs of a custom workflow as inputs for a different custom workflow or custom task?

Thanks

if you make the workflow a compound task then the output is available to the calling workflow.  If you mean 2 distinct workflow runs then you would need to write the output to a file and have the next workflow read from that file.

Thank you for the prompt reply Orf,

Sorry that I wasn't more precise, yes I am looking to tie together two distinct workflows without using a compound task as the workflows will be run at different times.

Is there a way in the GUI to make the workflows write/read a file or this will need some scripting?

Thank you

Check out #46 which is a read write example. You can also search for CSV in above index for all sorts of CSV file read examples (Mostly centered around LOV's).

Hi Orf,

After trying all sorts of different options I now think that I truly understand my problem. It is some how related to what I was asking before but it can also be seen as a separate question: What I need to do is to filter the possible admin inputs of a specific tabular variable type (i.e - APIC Device Tenant EPG Identity) by the group of the user that calls this workflow through a catalog. 

Thank you.

You could could filter by the internal variable

${GROUP_NAME}

in the global variable section with in your workflow (CONTAINS ${GROUP_NAME})
