Multiple UCS version being obtained from XML API output

[Karthick Radhakrishnan]

Hello,

I have a script that pulls the UCS version and the Blade adaptor information (model, firmware, etc) from UCS XML API output. The object dn="sys" has all the information I need. But I'm getting the UCS version which is different from <aaaLogin> tag. For example:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<aaaLogin cookie="" outChannel="noencssl" outCookie="#######" outDomains="" outEvtChannel="noencssl" outName="admin" outPriv="admin,read-only" outRefreshPeriod="600" outSessionId="web_24627_A" outVersion="2.2(3c)" response="yes"> </aaaLogin>

<equipmentChassis ..>

<computeBlade … assignedToDn="<<Service_profile>>" … serial="####"

  <adaptorUnit model="UCSB-MLOM-40G-01"….>

    <mgmtController ..

      <firmwareRunning deployment="system" type="adaptor" packageVersion="2.2(3c)B" version="4.0(1c)"/>

In the above output, the <aaaLogin> says 2.2(3c) is the UCS version where as <firmwareRunning> tag says 2.2(3c)B (attribute: packageVersion).

My question is: why the letter "B" is being appended?

Thanks,

Karthick

Karthick,

B represents the bundle type - this indicates this firmware is part of the B bundle. UCS images are shipped in three bundles - A infrastructure, B blade bundle, C rack server bundle.
